The Peculiar “Far-Right” Smear

BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN It’s funny how everyone exhibiting political soundness has suddenly become “far right”. Apparently, more than half the country are now “far right”, racist, hard Brexiteers. Those, for example, who express support for the populist Italian Government’s logical stance on immigration are supporting a “far right” regime. Meanwhile even the term populist is being redefined as fascist, racist and “far right”, which makes … Continue reading The Peculiar “Far-Right” Smear

UNITE is a Con

BY LISA COOPER I for one shall not be rejoining the union Unite. I was frankly disgusted to see Len McCluskey handing out free ice-cream to Corbyn Cultists and gathered journalists at the embarrassing debacle that was Labour Live on Saturday.

What Next for the Conservative Party?

BY TIM DAWSON The local elections are over and – although I was naturally shocked at not overturning the mere 1464 majority in inner-city Hulme that would have swept me into Manchester Town Hall – the picture across the country was rosier than many predicted. Despite the prattling from Owen Jones et al, Labour did surprisingly poorly, and the Conservatives remain the largest party of … Continue reading What Next for the Conservative Party?

Leave British Soldiers Alone

BY JAMIE FOSTER It appears that the government is backing away from an amnesty for service personnel who may be accused of committing offences during the Northern Irish troubles. Senior Tory MPs had proposed a statute of limitations to prevent anyone having served during that time being prosecuted.
