Thanks to a recent YouTube recommendation, I have rediscovered the delights of Derek and Clive aka Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. One infamous recording, ‘The worst job I ever had’, is a harrowing account of the nocturnal collection of Winston Churchill’s bogeys – bogeys which, it transpired, were actually HMS Titanic. If you haven’t heard […]

Keir Starmer is now officially the most unpopular Prime Minister in modern history. A paltry 18% of the electorate view him favourably, while the majority of 75% do not. More than half of the British public want him to resign – and if I had to hazard a guess, I’d say that percentage was significantly higher across the Labour

Dear readers, This is a very brief note to let you know the state of play at The New Conservative. I have been hit by something nearing the perfect storm in terms of a personal life of late, and must rapidly begin a new job, move house, and negotiate my divorce appeal as it reaches

The British countryside is “too white”. At least that is, according to DEFRA – the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, as reported earlier this month in these pages.

Like many of you I am sure, my inbox is constantly besieged by scammers; con artists, whose lame attempts to get rich quick via the intellectually challenged are the fraud equivalent of the dick pic. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve nothing against a really good scam in principle – Brigitte Bardot types who successfully convince

Nigel Farage has fashioned a political career from his reputation as an anti-establishment voice; the man who reads the public mood arguably better than anyone else at Westminster. From Brexit to his recent incarnation with Reform UK, he has successfully tapped into frustrations over immigration, sovereignty and cultural erosion. His achievements are considerable, and he

Few cases encapsulate the rot at the heart of Britain quite like that of Shamima Begum. On the surface, she should have been a textbook illustration of the virtues of multiculturalism: a second-generation Bangladeshi, raised in the Muslim enclave of Tower Hamlets in East London. In reality, she embodies everything Britain has gotten wrong since

Dear Readers, It’s time to ring in the New Year (quietly, for those of you nursing the hangover from hell), and hope that the memories of 2025 fade just as quickly as the Alka Seltzer in your glass. Because if ever there was a year deserving of a swift and merciless oblivion, it was the

As 2025 draws to a close, the arrival of Alaa Abd el-Fattah in the United Kingdom serves as a stark reminder of a deeper malaise afflicting our national institutions. Released from Egyptian custody and granted passage to Britain through concerted diplomatic efforts by the Labour government, el-Fattah was heralded by Sir Keir Starmer as a
