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

Rachel Reeves: A Chancellor Out of Her Depth

BY JOHN ISMAEL The spectacle of a Chancellor in tears is never edifying, but in the case of Rachel Reeves, it was something worse—it was revealing. Here was a woman entrusted with the stewardship of the nation’s finances, buckling under the ordinary pressures of political life, her distress paraded before the cameras like a public confession of inadequacy. She claimed, of course, that it was … Continue reading Rachel Reeves: A Chancellor Out of Her Depth

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

Brits Will Never Strive for Reeves

CSM EDITORIAL People really don’t like Rachel Reeves. They know she’s a liar. They know she plagiarises others’ work. They know she accepts bunged expensive clothes and freebie Sabrina Carpenter tickets. All the while she targets the people that so many people love – the farms, the elderly, local businesses. Farmers have committed suicide over her farm tax. The elderly have frozen. Businesses are going … Continue reading Brits Will Never Strive for Reeves

Forecast Fiasco: The Met Office’s Growing Credibility Crisis

BY J J STARKY Meet Penelope Endersby, chief executive of the Meteorological Office (Met Office) Penelope Endersby has led the Met Office since December 2018. The agency operates as a trading fund under the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, supplying climate data that shapes government policy. It manages hundreds of temperature stations across Britain, frequently cited in policy announcements, and serves as the UK’s … Continue reading Forecast Fiasco: The Met Office’s Growing Credibility Crisis

Risus Fatuorum

BY ALEX STORY It has become routine to decry our civil servants and politicians as incompetent, lazy and, increasingly, illiterate. Given the speed at which the country is accelerating towards the cliffs, all three adjectives are surely accurate, if not too soft. With tedious regularity, sundry establishment figures come out to make an announcement, supposedly designed to cheer the multitudes. Each one, however, is a … Continue reading Risus Fatuorum

Labour’s Timebombs

BY THE EDITOR Back in 2016 I wrote a piece exposing the antisemitism of Labour cadres under Jeremy Corbyn and described the Labour Party thus: ‘At heart they are Britain-hating, US-hating, IRA-supporting, anti-Semitic Bolsheviks’ By 2019, the Labour leadership’s links to antisemitic and terrorist groups had been laid bare in a series of MSM articles — exposing shocking connections that both angered military families residing … Continue reading Labour’s Timebombs

The Cost of Dignity

BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN A friend learned that his beloved dog was deemed dangerous. The decision loomed like a tempest on the horizon. Tearfully, he fed his dog steak and then walked him ten miles along the North Devon shore, the November sun warming their backs until neither could take another step. The car ride home meandered, slowly, before taking a detour towards the vets. The … Continue reading The Cost of Dignity

How it Waddles

BY ALEX STORY Labour is run by extremists. The party always was. Attaining political power and keeping it to encrust its ideology within the political system, outside of political oversight, was and is its supreme aim. The wellbeing of the nation and her people come a very distant second in the order of Labour’s political priorities. Ideology features ahead of the reality, against which Labour … Continue reading How it Waddles

Keir Canute

BY STEWART SLATER “I stand here also as a black man” the Foreign Secretary portentously informed the United Nations. While sitting down. “I am a woman” was the overwhelming message of the Chancellor’s glossy video celebrating her position as the nation’s first female Second Lord (Lady?) of the Treasury. Their answer to the late Col. John Boyd’s famous question, “To be or to do?” seems … Continue reading Keir Canute

The Labour Party Was Wrong To Suspend Wilma Brown

BY EFFIE DEANS I had never heard of Wilma Brown the former Labour candidate who was suspended for liking various posts on Twitter/X. I had likewise never heard of the person who had gathered the various posts which can be found here. But it is necessary to point out that in most cases the posts liked by Wilma Brown were innocuous, arguable, or true. The … Continue reading The Labour Party Was Wrong To Suspend Wilma Brown

Exit Squealing, Stage Left

BY PAUL T HORGAN The least surprising political news of the week has to be Owen ‘Squealer’ Jones publicly announcing his departure from the Labour Party. The only real question has to be what took him so long. Jones has been cursing and damning the Labour leadership for over a year, his cussin’ and dammin’ rising in parallel with Labour’s polling. 2024 is an election … Continue reading Exit Squealing, Stage Left

Islamophobia Misdefined

BY ALEX STORY In their 2018 report “Islamophobia defined”, the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims defined the term as being “rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness”. This is a surprising definition. Afterall, Race and Religion have nothing in common. Religion has underpinned every human civilisation since the Garden of Eden. In … Continue reading Islamophobia Misdefined

Anti-Semitic & Islamophobic

BY ALEX STORY The Left is both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic. The first tag is not up for debate. From Marx to Keynes and from Corbyn to the current Labour Party, the antipathy towards Jews is well established. In his little-known pamphlet “On the Jewish Question” written in 1843, Marx, the holy messenger of the Left, tells his followers that the Jew is an egotistical, Mammon … Continue reading Anti-Semitic & Islamophobic

Keir the Feeble

BY EFFIE DEANS I was horrified by Jeremy Corbyn in a way that I wasn’t horrified by any previous Labour leader. I might have disagreed with previous leaders, but they were within the mainstream of British politics. Corbyn was not. He was an extremist who supported terrorists and quite frankly hated Britain. The one thing that has worried me since 2019 is that every single … Continue reading Keir the Feeble

Mistakes Were Made

BY STEWART SLATER Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg is no longer a name to conjure with. But, had history worked out just slightly differently, its bearer would bestride the world if not like a colossus, then almost certainly as the German Chancellor. For, at the turn of the last decade, Karl-Theodor was the coming man – German Defence minister, Focus magazine’s “Man of the Year” for 2010 … Continue reading Mistakes Were Made

Inverting the Battlelines

BY STEWART SLATER Most battles in the Ancient World follow the same pattern. One side starts with the high ground and, about half way through, finds itself on the low ground. The reason for this is surprisingly simple – most people are right-handed. They hold their sword in their right hands, and their shield in the left. By taking a step to the right, therefore, … Continue reading Inverting the Battlelines

Avoid Ecotricity: Demolishing Dale Vince and Ecotricity’s Disinformation

BY DAVID TURVER Ecotricity owner Dale Vince is disseminating disinformation to protect his own interests Eco-entrepreneur Dale Vince, who owns and runs Ecotricity, has given interviews and participated in a Talk TV debate where, besides being rude and belligerent, he made some demonstrably false statements about renewable energy, especially how cheap it is. Time for a closer look at Dale and his companies to see … Continue reading Avoid Ecotricity: Demolishing Dale Vince and Ecotricity’s Disinformation
