You can tell everything about the state of a political party by its autumn party conference. For the Conservatives, last week’s shindig held at Manchester’s Central Convention Complex had all the energy of an autopsy. If Rishi Sunak was hoping for a favourable eulogy however, he was to be disappointed. As you’d expect when you’re […]

Things are not looking good for the Conservatives. Every day it appears, they give themselves a lower chance of pulling through at next year’s general election. When Rishi Sunak was elected leader of the Conservative Party back in 2022, he had five key priorities on his mind: to halve inflation; grow the economy; reduce national

Immigration (particularly the illegal variety) is unquestionably the fundamental issue facing the West at this point in political history. Whatever side of the fence you sit on, you know that tough talk promising a crackdown on illegals, or compassionate noises about human rights is what translates into votes come election time. During a recent address to the American Enterprise Institute, a centre-right think tank in Washington DC, UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman certainly set out her stall early
Tories Suddenly Tough on Immigration? Read More »
Like the opening scene from Reservoir Dogs (if you assume the dogs had undergone a charisma bypass), Keir Starmer has taken to filming himself striding along the international thoroughfares – as though marching into battle against illegal immigration. First up was this Thursday’s meeting with Europol in The Hague, accompanied by Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper; followed by

The truth of the matter is simply this: if the British government genuinely wanted to stop the boats, its actions would be palpably different. The Royal Navy would be instructed (not asked) to patrol the Channel, and work in unison rather than in place of the Border Force.

Ever since Tony Blair first foisted mass immigration upon Britain in 1997, the Labour Party has been addicted to the Muslim vote—and it’s not something they plan to go cold turkey on any time soon. With two-thirds of Britain’s Muslims voting for Labour, and the party increasing their majority by over 10,000 in seven out

The year is 2033, and the United Kingdom basks in the unmistakable glow of a decade-long Labour government. Britain has yet to fully leave the European Union, but is getting really bloody close to a deal for full, ‘non-member’ membership. Realignment with Europe has come surprisingly cheap. Thanks to the unique negotiating skills of Diane
The English Channel notwithstanding, no amount of water can defend against the enemy within. Fast forward to 2023, and after 13 years of a nominally conservative government the notion that those 21 nautical miles are suddenly unable to withstand the technological advance of a rubber dinghy should be the subject of a Whitehall farce, rather than political reality.

Perhaps it is just as well for France that Macron cannot run for a third successive term in 2027. Perhaps it is just as well for him, seeing as Marine Le Pen is well on course to oust him anyway. Macron or not, this is a defining moment for the West—whether it will regain its sense of national pride, or whether it will fall. Diversity is not our strength—how much longer must the innocent pay the price for this lie?

A Braverman than most, our home secretary has called upon Britain’s 43 police forces to grasp the nettle, and “ramp up” their use of stop and search in order to “save more lives,” a decision for which she deserves to be commended. The “dangerous culture” of carrying weapons must end, she commented in a statement to the House of Commons earlier this week. The home secretary has also instructed police forces to publish body camera footage promptly, in order to avoid “trial by social media.”
