What on earth is wrong with a country—and its leaders—when the two main candidates for the post of Prime Minister after the next election feel that it is necessary to declare their level of deprivation in childhood? 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

What promised to be the dullest general election in living memory has finally been shaken out of

Following on from his initial manifesto post, Alastair MacMillan moves on to defence. Target: Defence forces that are well-balanced to meet the threats that may manifest themselves against us and our allies. To prevent war, we must be seen by our adversaries to be strong in depth.

Reform UK performed in line with polling, but are still not quite getting over the line without Farage at the helm. London might as well be boarded up, having elected Sadiq Khan for a third term despite his

Following the decision by the government to make it illegal to own one or more hens without registering with DEFRA, I will definitely not be voting Conservative at the next election. The only thing that would change that decision is cancellation of this completely ridiculous piece of legislation. As part of my push back against this
