I am about to leave the UK for two weeks and I will be astonished if Liz has not been trussed up like a turkey and hurled out the front door of 10 Downing Street by the time I return. Then it is over to either Jeremy Hunt or Rishi Sunak to finish the job: […]

A good litmus test of a functioning democracy is the efficacy and neutrality of its law enforcement. These are sentiments echoed in the police oath: ‘I will execute the powers and duties of my office honestly, faithfully and diligently without fear of or favour to any person and with malice or ill-will toward none.’ Sadly,

Enoch Powell, in his infamous ‘rivers of blood’ speech in 1968, was slightly premature, arguably making an unhelpful intervention with a poor choice of words.
