BY SEAN WALSH Starmer’s demise is like the final minute of the spin cycle: never ending. I suppose part of the fun in making political predictions is the post-hoc analysis of “why I was right when I said this would happen and it didn’t”. And knowing you can be serially wrong without any professional consequence. There’s quite a bit of this about at the moment, much of … Continue reading Sunk Cost Fallacy Territory
BY PAUL T HORGAN While the Conservative Party is vying with a lump of uranium to see how much of its mass can leave the main body – and doing rather better – this is a deflection from the big question: Sir Keir has failed as a Prime Minister, so when will he step down? The defection of Robert Jenrick has had a predictable outcome. … Continue reading Counting the Days
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN They strut through Portcullis House with the preening confidence of minor clerics in a newly-installed theocracy. The air, thick with the scent of over-brewed Fairtrade coffee and the damp wool of second-hand suits, hums with a whispered mantra: “Two terms, at least. Probably three. A realignment. A job for life.” Among them, a particular specimen – let us call him ‘Gavin’ (ex-BBC, never had … Continue reading The Quivering Delusions of Labour’s Eunuchs
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN Voluntary Voting Surrendered New York and Threatens Us All One can almost hear the ghost of Theodore Roosevelt, that great Bull Moose of American vigour, spinning in his grave at Oyster Bay. The news from across the Atlantic is not merely disappointing; it is a dire portent, a flashing red light on the dashboard of Western civilisation. New York City—the towering testament … Continue reading The Perils of Voluntary Voting
BY FRANK HAVILAND I have a confession to make: I’m a misogynist. At least, I certainly hope I am in the eyes of those who pontificate on such things, and clearly have no idea what the word actually means. I know that women don’t have cocks; that they are distinct from men; and that they are unlikely to best men in almost any endeavour, unless the men … Continue reading The War on White, Working Class Boys
BY ALEX STORY As Goldfinger observed: “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.” It is a good observational rule, not least to judge our political rulers by what they do rather than what they say. Early in October 2024, Keir Starmer removed the portraits of Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh. Both were painted in the late 16th century, a … Continue reading Enemy Action
BY PAUL T HORGAN What no-one has commented on is the actual point in time that the question stopped being how Sir Keir would step down as Labour leader and therefore also as Prime Minister, but instead when. The fall of the Marxist Human Rights lawyer from the head of His Majesty’s Government now seems all but inevitable. There will be a tipping-point, largely predicted to … Continue reading Aprés Keir, Le Petit Deluge
BY JOHN MUSGRAVE The final act of growing up, psychiatrists tell us, is to take responsibility for yourself. Children who never grow up, including sociopaths and the intellectually enfeebled will always blame circumstances and events. Never do they accept that what has happened is down to them. It’s always someone else’s fault. Two examples prove this point. Look at the government and the BBC. Far … Continue reading Persons Responsible
BY ALEX STORY “You can’t negotiate with Leftards”. They “don’t care if they ruin your whole life”. They “will kill you”, said Javier Milei during a fiery exchange on a TV show three months before winning the Presidency of Argentina in December 2023. Argentina, the richest country in the world by the end of the 19th century, and top 10 throughout the 1920s, now ranks … Continue reading Zero Negotiation
BY ALEX STORY Rachel Reeves, our Chancellor, has much to ponder ahead of her autumn budget. Larry Summers, an economist, noted a few years ago that the country was “behaving like an emerging market”. He wasn’t talking about rape gangs, shoplifting, or burglaries, though he might have thought it. He was referring specifically to our financial situation. Professor Jagjit Chadha, from the National Institute of Economic and … Continue reading The Sighted Led by the Blind
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN A chill, eternal dampness clings to him. He is our most intimate window into the ancient mind of this land, a man who last drew breath when the mist hanging over a Cheshire bog was a common sight, not a rarity. When he was pulled from the peat in 1984, Lindow Man (aka the ‘Pete Marsh’ bog body) offered the modern world … Continue reading The Mustelid Mandate
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN It is a truth universally acknowledged, yet whispered only in enlightened places, that the first-past-the-post British political system is a machine designed with one grim weakness: to periodically vomit into power a last-man-standing government of Muggles. Not the whimsical, wand-waving kind, but a far more desolate breed: the Labour Muggle. This unsightly creature is not born, but unexpectedly elected. Its natural habitat … Continue reading The Muggle Party
BY ALEX STORY “There is an enemy. There is a project which is detrimental to our country” said Keir Starmer to The Guardian last week. For the first time in his career, people nodded in agreement. Finally, the multitude thought, “he gets us”. After years of being ignored, humiliated, and branded, finally, the Prime Minister acknowledged what hundreds of thousands of flag carrying patriots had … Continue reading No Solution as Policy
BY ALEX STORY Some questions are difficult to answer, others not.For Starmer the seemingly easiest ones are the most difficult.During a press briefing with President Trump at Chequers a few days ago, Beverly Turner, an intrepidly enchanting reporter, asked a simple question: “Are we still a Christian country?”A patriotic man would have said: “yes”.He would have known, implicitly, that our laws, their application and our … Continue reading Arses and Elbows
BY PAUL T HORGAN Ghislaine Maxwell, the Duke and Duchess of York, Peter Mandelson. Ask what all of these people have in common and the answer is obvious. All of them have been substantially negatively affected by the fallout of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. But that is not all. All of them are, or were, British. And yet we are told that Epstein was an American socialite, and … Continue reading The British Fall Guy
BY ALEX STORY Tragedies abound. Humanity, in its mortal coils, is beset by them. Often, they are self-inflicted. Plunder, rape, murder, treason, and conflicts are nothing other than the manifestations of man’s war of all against all in perpetuum, irrespective of race or creed. “Crimes against other men are committed when emotions, which spur us to action, are corrupt and rise in revolt, without control”, … Continue reading Reaction as Revelation
BY ALEX STORY Some things are surprising; others less so. Lord Peter Mandelson spending an inordinate amount of time with the late Jeffrey Epstein, his “best pal”, raises few eyebrows. African leaders asking for “reparations” leaves Britons cold. We have become inured to officialised insanity – dangerously so perhaps. Where once our politicians’ misdemeanours fuelled conversations in pubs across the country, now, in the few … Continue reading Surprising Things
BY PAUL T HORGAN Rishi Sunak. Remember him? It may be the relentless pace of news, replacing the legacy analogue cycle of four discrete opportunities for the average person to catch up on the news, that makes it seem that Mr Sunak was Prime Minister a eon ago. It was only 14 months ago that he lost the General Election. Sunak went into the polls … Continue reading Did Sunak Throw the 2024 General Election?
BY ANDREW MILNE Evyatar David, 24, has now been held over 700 days in a tunnel below Gaza, his cousin, Tamar Eshet, told a packed fringe meeting at Reform UK’s national conference. Eyatar was abducted by Hamas on 7 October 2023 whilst fleeing the Nova Festival. Deputy leader, Richard Tice MP, introduced Tamar Eshet and showed a video released by Hamas. In it a severely … Continue reading Secret Army
BY ALEX STORY On one side, girls are arrested for waving Union Flags; men for admitting to liking bacon; and comedians for telling jokes. Indeed, playwright Graham Linehan had his collar felt by the armed Old Bill for writing that old-fashioned women, those without a penis, should “make a scene” when a trans woman enters a female changing room and punch “him in the balls” … Continue reading A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
