Sunk Cost Fallacy Territory

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

Fabian Knotweed

BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN Eradicating the Silent Invasion of the British State The Fabian Society’s emblem of a wolf in sheep’s clothing was a confession disguised as a joke. But the wolf is a blunt instrument, a recognisable predator. The truer, more insidious metaphor is botanical: Japanese Knotweed. This Asian perennial is the perfect analogue. Introduced to Britain by well-meaning Victorians for its ornamental appeal, it … Continue reading Fabian Knotweed

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

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

Ideology of Decomposition

BY ALEX STORY The country is decomposing, as a fish rots, from its head. Our demise is a function of the ideas that permeate our institutions.   These are Fabian ideas. Half the Labour Parliamentary Party and the current cabinet are affiliated to that sinister organisation, with 140 fresh ones having been elected in July 2024. The Fabians are a broad alliance of Leftists ‘writ’ … Continue reading Ideology of Decomposition

Right Wing Libertarian!

BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN It would seem that the penny has finally dropped on the Left that calling Brexiteers and conservatives “far right” has not worked for them. Their Chief Trolls, Barmy Burgon and Loudmouth Lammy, are denuded and reduced to caricatures – their identity politics have been seen through. One lives in hope that those other daft insults of “racist”, “thick” and “gammon” will cease … Continue reading Right Wing Libertarian!

Smear Bingo

BY JOHN ISMAEL Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party has a serious antisemitism problem. That is a fact. Its bigots’ widespread hatred of Israel, its loathing of religion – and yet its Muslim block votes – make the political party’s antisemitism problem one that will not go away, save for mass expulsions of Momentum members and Corbynites on the far left of the party. So, what do … Continue reading Smear Bingo

Left Wing Strategies Outpacing Tories

BY SAM HOOPER While Theresa May’s rootless Conservative Party tears itself apart over Brexit and continues to fail to provide a clear, positive vision for Britain, one currently has to look primarily to left-wing groups for a systemic analysis of Britain’s challenges — and ideas to fix them. Depressing as it is to write, still it must be acknowledged that with the Conservative Party permanently stuck … Continue reading Left Wing Strategies Outpacing Tories
