It is rare thing in the corporate wokeonomy that an important figure has the guts to speak out about important national issues. In this case, Britain being potentially ‘colonised’.
Many British people are scared of speaking out in a country which has criminalised aspects of community discourse. There is a huge electorate of civil servants who know ...
The killing of ayatollah Ali Khamenei in US-Israeli strikes on Saturday was cheered by many Iranians who have suffered innumerable atrocities under his ruthless Islamist rule of the country. While the diaspora were vociferous in their jubilation over the death of Iran’s supreme leader, many in the country also braved violent crackdowns to rejoice in ...
Once again, we have some leaders inferring that the best way for children and young people to learn tolerance is to attend state-run schools. That such simplistic notions are being peddled by such senior people, some claiming to be experts in education, is sad.
First of all, what is ‘tolerance’ about?
In its usual form, it means I can listen to you and ...
America’s war on Iran has revealed much about its allies. Israel is as steadfast as ever, as secretary of war Pete Hegseth pointed out on Monday. Australia and Canada have also made clear their unequivocal support for the military action.
Russia, for all its malevolence, does not have the means to stoke civil unrest in western Europe. The Islamic ...
This week I represented the Institute of Public Affairs at John Anderson’s Aspire conference. Anderson believes Australia and the West is at a civilisational crossroads. Slipping confidence, growing divisions, and the erosion of respect for our history and heritage is all borne out in the research.
Social cohesion is at an all-time low according to the ...
US President Donald Trump has summed up his rationale for attacking Iran fairly simply, saying “this was our last best chance to strike”. Not known for adhering to any particular lasting strategy, Trump sees each day in the White House as an episode in a reality show in which
After Labour came third in Gorton and Denton, the government had a choice. Chase the lost Green vote by moving closer to its positions on open borders, an amnesty for all illegal migrants and an end to deportations, or follow Reform who have pledged to make deportations non-justiciable and deport ‘up to 280,000’ illegal migrants a year. Some in Labour ...
Situation update
The conflict between Israel, the United States and Iran has escalated dramatically, with simultaneous air strikes on Tehran and Beirut, missile exchanges across the Gulf, and drone attacks reaching the US embassy in Riyadh.
By 7.30 a.m. Israel time, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) announced it was conducting a ‘wide-scale wave of ...
Before the first missiles landed in Tehran, Rachel Reeves was looking forward to today. Her spring ‘forecast’ statement was going to be a doddle. The plan – to have the smallest intervention by a Chancellor since Philip Hammond in the spring of 2018 – was a sensible one.
Britain’s fragile economy could not have handled months of speculation about black ...
Happy spring statement day one and all. As Rachel Reeves valiantly tries to wrestle the public narrative back from her critics, it seems that there is yet more pain from the Gorton and Denton by-election last week. For a new poll is out for YouGov today – and it shows Zack Polanski making gains at Labour’s expense. The Greens have now leapfrogged ...
After Labor’s 2025 election win Labor Party President Wayne Swan said that Labor’s win was ‘wide but shallow’.
Our latest poll backs him up with most voters believing Labor does not deserve to be in office while at the same time still saying they would vote Labor for a Labor government at an election.
I’ve learned a lot from watching Wayne Swan over ...
Never has Rachel Reeves been so glad to be so boring. The Chancellor will deliver today her spring update on the public finances at a time of unusual calm in the often overdramatic story of UK economic policy. One of the biggest actors in the story, the bond market, is currently happy and sleepy.
In effect, the government’s plans assume a period of ...
