David Lammy, the deputy prime minister, has had a bruising five months. Last September, he took charge of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), which oversees the courts, prisons and probation, as part of a reshuffle sparked by the forced resignation of Angela Rayner. Within weeks, the former foreign secretary had to deal with the accidental release from ...
At the Baftas on Sunday night, John Davidson – whose story of living with Tourette’s syndrome is dramatised in the (very good) film I Swear – shouted out the n-word when black actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan were on stage to present an award. You’d hope that by now people might understand the mechanics of Tourette’s symptoms – that the tics ...
Shen YunYesterday’s evacuation of the prime minister from the Lodge has been linked to the Chinese dance troupe Shen Yun. In a bomb threat emailed to the group, the sender said explosives would be detonated if Australian performances by Shen Yun proceeded. This is just the latest controversy surrounding Shen
Assistant Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs minister Julian Hill has warned Australia needs to strengthen the “bridging social capital” that holds our diverse society together, or risk further fragmentation. In a speech on Wednesday to the McKell Institute canvassing the challenges to Australia’s multiculturalism, Hill has also floated a proposal
You know, I’m starting to think those #BeKind folk aren’t half as kind as they make themselves out to be. How else to explain this meltdown over a man with Tourette’s being invited to the Baftas? It has exposed the limits of the ‘inclusivity’ preached by the virtue-signalling set.

Donald Trump may have celebrated Team USA for winning the gold at the Olympics in hockey, but he was not in a puckish mood during his State of the Union speech. Instead, Trump stuck to his tried-and-true script of denouncing Democrats as ‘sick’, mocking concerns about affordability and cooing over Melania as a great new movie star. Far from nobody ever ...
Victorians faces a state election late this year, with the Labor government pitching for a fourth term. A key issue will be the government’s failure to deal with thuggery and corruption in the building industry, centred on the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU). After its hand was
Finding and affording adequate housing is a challenge many Australians face, but few more so than First Nations people. New national research shows unmet housing need among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander households is double the rate of other Australians. Indigenous people have long been recognised as particularly at-risk
Think about how bad things would have to be for ordinary Iranians to plead for Donald Trump to carry out military intervention against their own country (though in reality, against their hostage takers, the Islamic Republic).
Iranian women, children, men, flora and fauna are dying at the hands of the Iranian regime. Killing is what they do
Iran, the ...
The brand of British Jewry was built in the shadow of genocide and the rebirth of Jewish sovereignty. For decades, survival shaped how we presented ourselves to the world. After October 7, survival alone is no longer enough and we as a community must decide what the brand of British Jewry looks like for our future.
The Holocaust was not simply a ...
