I’ve put together an article for @TheCriticMag breaking down the 'Boriswave' - the ongoing surge in immigration to the UK since 2021. There’s a lot more I could have covered, but here are the basics behind the biggest betrayal in modern British politics.

I wish I could offer a clever, thought-provoking answer to this. but the reality is more mundane. Britain is ultimately governed by its politicians and political parties. That’s the system. That's the "Westminster model". The problem is that both major parties suffer from.

This video is absolutely wild - and everyone needs to see it. A traffic warden tries to justify ticketing someone for riding a bike with no hands, not by citing the Road Traffic Act or the Highway Code, but by invoking the Human Rights Act (HRA). Article 2, no less - the right to.

I recently got stopped & ticketed by the City of London Police for, & I kid you not, “cycling no handed”. Even though it’s clearly not an offence, the officer said they were ticketing me under the Human Rights Act as I was infringing other people’s Article 2 ‘Right to Life’, in

Looking back on the punk era - and listening to Bob Vylan - it’s clear to me that the “Bobs” never really grasped what punk rock was about. They’ve fundamentally misunderstood the genre’s spirit. Punk wasn’t just about blind rage or scorched-earth contempt for your country and.

People have completely missed the real story with Bob Vylan. The chatter has been all about his veganism, the crowd reactions, the so-called incitement, and the spectacle of white festivalgoers cheering him on. But none of that is the actual headline. What matters - and what’s.

There’s a lot of chatter about “u-turns” - classic Britpop-era, SW1-rigmarole nonsense. In reality, u-turns are fine *if* they’re in response to hard facts and take you in the *right* direction. The problem with this government is they keep u-turning straight into oncoming.

The bond markets aren’t exactly known for their mercy, are they? Labour seem utterly clueless about the scale of the risk they’re taking with Britain’s economy. When the global economic crisis hits - and it *will* - we’re going to be among the hardest hit. Why? Because we’ve got.

There are plenty of traditionalists here - purveyors of the stiff upper lip - who believe that crying has no place in public life. And I respect that view. But looking ahead, I see a new kind of fighter emerging: fierce, passionate, often Latin in spirit - chainsaw in one hand,.

I actually feel a bit sorry for Reeves. Yes, she’s made some serious missteps - no question. But the deeper issue here is Labour’s human capital problem, which runs far deeper than anything you’ll find in the Tory ranks. Reeves' proposed welfare reforms were modest, cautious -.

The parliamentary Labour Party is hurtling toward electoral ruin. It might sound perverse, but Keir Starmer actually has a better grasp of the UK’s grim political-economic trajectory than most of his MPs - and that’s saying something, because from where I’m standing, Starmer is.

UPDATE: In a major u-turn, Keir Starmer has now scrapped the entire PIP section of the welfare bill. The Timms review will report back in autumn 2026 and, as it is being conducted with disability groups, is highly unlikely to opt for four-point eligibility criteria. This.

Britain can claw its way out of its current economic and social funk - but only under a radical right government armed with a fully forged, no-notes, oven-ready policy programme. The trouble is, I see precious little sign that such a force is anywhere near the launchpad.
