As many countries in the EU swing rightwards, Britain has a new left-wing government with an eye-watering majority of 412 out of 650 seats. The Conservatives have clung on to a mere 121 seats.

I left a United Kingdom on its knees politically, socially and economically. I return to one on the verge of having the erect member of rampant socialism, priapic

Ladies and gentlemen, the hour has come. After an interminable four-week general election campaign, mercifully spirited by the 100% proof charisma of Nigel Farage and the increasingly erratic behaviour of Sir Ed Davey (whose suicidal attempts to relieve himself of the Liberal Democrat leadership have been cruelly mistaken for bungee jumps), we have arrived at

It is impossible to imagine this happening anywhere else in the world. Across Europe, the Far East, Middle

While the Tories were in the process of self-destruction and doing a perfectly good job of it, Nigel Farage has returned to the fray as leader of Reform to ensure that, while they are down, they get a jolly good kicking into the bargain. Everyone knows the Tory party will be in shreds after the
