I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the English language is capable of no finer put-down than the wonderfully pithy “couldn’t pull in a brothel”; it also sums up the ‘Conservative’ government’s determination to give the electorate anything other than what it actually wants. Indeed, if the aptly-named Jeremy Hunt were our fiscal […]

The big story this week was the implosion at Tory HQ, as Rishi Sunak searched for a means to simultaneously sack Suella Braverman for flagrant conservatism, and continue passing the Tories off as ‘right-wing’. Both wings of the party (centrist and far-left) put their (dick)heads together, and mysteriously came up with the answer ‘David Cameron’.

The big question this week was precisely what effect Suella Braverman’s Times précis of Mein Kampf was to have over the Armistice Day festivities, and the emboldened ‘far-right’ who were determined to turn up and blast their two minutes’ silence in everyone’s faces. Not only had Suella made the outrageous suggestion that pro-Palestinian protestors occasionally

Excuses duly

The Frank Report has just returned from the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, and your correspondent couldn’t have gotten out of there fast enough; even with a first-class ticket on HS2! With the Tories about as effective as a Diane Abbott cue card, you’d expect Labour’s Fab Four (Starmer, Cooper, Lammy and Reeves) to resonate

The Frank Report has regrettably been relegated to the subs bench of late, struck down by a hernia the size of Justin Trudeau’s ego. Still, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity for a brief foray into party conference season, if only to escape the clutches of nurse. This week, it was the turn of the

Welcome to this week’s Frank Report, where in a break from tradition the UK constabularies have actually decided to do their jobs. After a damning report found the Old Bill are solving the lowest proportion of crimes ever (less than six percent), the MET Police are wheeling out stop and search, targeting areas ‘with very

Welcome to another Sunday edition of the Frank Report, where regrettably the laughs are a bit thin on the ground. I suggest a large pot of tea and an inexhaustible supply of Jammy Dodgers; if you’re ready, off we go! This week’s main story was the decision of the nation’s financiers to enact a banking
