Frank Reports

The Frank Report XLV

Welcome to the latest edition of the Frank Report, where you find me wading through a Sargasso Sea of Jeremy Hunt autumn statement tax rises. ‘Everyone will have to pay more tax’ says the Chancellor, by which of course he means everyone stupid enough to have a job in these

The Frank Report XLIV

Welcome to a special Armistice Day edition of The Frank Report – you find me fittingly on my death bed, fighting off a bad case of the Wu Flu. Things were so touch and go yesterday in fact, I barely had the strength to watch Roger Moore’s first outing as

The Frank Report XLIII

Welcome to this week’s edition of the Frank Report, where we find the curtains inside Number 10 slightly altered, but the sewage emanating from the bathrooms much the same. Rishi Sunak has done well (not just in lasting a week), but in presenting himself as an alternative to the similarly-named

The Frank Report XLII 

Welcome to a reluctant Halloween edition of the Frank Report – reluctant, because Halloween must be the stupidest Americanism since the insistence on Starbuck stores no more than 100M apart. Scaring the shit out of us this week is newly-crowned PM, Rishi Sunak, who has opted to dispel the myth

Frank Report XXXIX

Welcome to the latest edition of the Frank Report, where you find the nation in striking mood. First it was barristers, then the nurses, but leading the charge is the RMT’s aptly-named Mick Lynch, who’s never met a walkout he couldn’t justify. This time round, Lynch is demanding six months

The Frank Report XXXVIII

Welcome to another edition of The Frank Report – you find me reporting live from Westminster, where it’s been a busy week. They say you learn on the job, and let’s hope for Liz Truss that turns out to be true, because it’s been a rough seven days for the

The Frank Report XXXVII

Ever feel like you’ve been sold a pig in a poke? If you’re a Brit, you’ve probably been feeling that way for most of the past 12 years, languishing as we are beneath the misnomer of a ‘Conservative’ administration. But the past week has been a particularly acute test of
