Britain heads to the polls today, in what promises to be one of the most consequential sets of elections in a generation. Across England’s council chambers, Scotland’s Holyrood and Wales’s Senedd, the ballot boxes are likely to deliver a verdict that the comfortable sofas at Westminster have long tried to ignore: Keir Starmer’s Labour government […]

Keir Starmer entered Downing Street promising the political equivalent of a monastery. He was silent on matters of substance, except to say that his administration would be founded on integrity, service, and an end to scandal; government “whiter than white”, with the adults, finally, back in the room. No more circus. No more rogues. Just

The latest feminist panic (at least if The Guardian is any gauge) is the “Manosphere” – a shadowy online fraternity of red-pilled gym bros, bitter divorced dads, men’s rights activists, pickup artists and incels. The online network they frequent is primarily focussed on traditional gender roles, a reassertion of masculinity, and above all, the audacious

The stabbing of two Jewish men in broad daylight in Golders Green this Wednesday wasn’t a random act of ‘far-right thuggery’, to use the Prime Minister’s favourite bête noire. It was a terrorist incident. Two men – Shloime Rand, 34, and Moshe Shine, 76, were attacked because they were visibly Jewish by the ‘British’ Somalian,

In a quiet corner of the Strangers’ Bar, the lights are low, the mood lower, and the glasses significantly cleaner than the members’ consciences. George, the bartender, knows better than to ask questions. He just pours. Most nights it’s half-empty – a few lobbyists nursing grievances, the odd backbencher hiding from the whip, and the

‘UK mother separated from children for years has “draconian” order overturned’ ran a Guardian headline in February over a story about how ‘flawed evidence’ presented by psychologist Melanie Gill led to the separation of a family. The tone was one of righteous vindication on the part of a long-suffering mother. The separation was initially ruled

My father died back in 2013, but today is his birthday. Like him, I’m not much of a birthday person as a rule, but I always remember his — 5/4/32 — pretty hard to forget. Dad didn’t “do” birthdays, as he put it. He rarely remembered yours, and he’d be offended if you showed up

Keir Starmer likes to present himself as the decent man in politics: the former Director of Public Prosecutions, the lawyer who values evidence and rectitude above all, the antithesis of the slick spin-doctor or the blustering populist. “I’m not a politician,” he told anyone who’d listen during the 2024 election campaign, “I’m a public servant.”

Those who know me, or have read my column for a while now, might be under the impression that I’m a bit of a whinger. They’re right, of course, but on occasion the whinging is justified. Just as the proof of the pudding is in the eating, the truth of any article is in the
