If anyone needs proof that jihadism is for losers, they need only look at the case of Abdullah Albadri. He was found guilty yesterday at the Old Bailey of preparation of terrorist acts and two offences of possession of a bladed article in a public place. On 28 April last year, he travelled across London to the Israeli embassy in Kensington, wrapped his ...
It was assumed Former Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce would take the lead position on the New South Wales Senate ticket instead of repeating the mistakes of Craig Kelly.
Readers will remember that Kelly left the Liberal Party and sat on the crossbench as an independent before running for his Lower House seat of Hughes on the United Australia Party ...
The dignity of work has long been a tenet of the West, encapsulating the very quintessence of the human experience.
We work because we are free and wish to improve life not only for ourselves but for our children. It is the dignity of work that permits us to buy property – an extension of our liberty – and allows us to participate in the civic sphere. ...
Nigel Farage told Radio 4 this week that he had ‘made a mistake’ in trying to pursue pro-family policies, concluding that this is simply ‘impossible in modern Britain’. The Reform leader might be forgiven for thinking so. The moment Reform moved into this territory with a pledge to end the two-child limit (among working British families it was later ...
Vladimir Putin likes good statistics. At a government meeting on 15 April, even as he acknowledged that growth was slowing, he pointed proudly to Russia’s unemployment rate: 2.1 per cent, a record low. Proof, he suggested, that the economy remains fundamentally sound despite everything the West has thrown at it. The Russian president would do better to ...
Four years ago, the unthinkable, for many Westminster residents, happened. Control of the council was won for the first time ever, and convincingly, by Labour. As a Westminster voter for more than 20 years, I had expected that the council would in time flip to Labour; the leftward trend was clear – but not so soon, more likely at the next elections in ...
It’s been the favourite gotcha question put forward by supporters of the SNP and the Scottish Greens at hustings events and TV debates throughout this Holyrood election period. What is the democratic route to a second independence referendum? The result has usually been awkward deflections by non-nationalist politicians as they try to avoid being ...
Those who follow mainstream media might agree the result in Nepean is a glowing endorsement of Liberal Leader Jess Wilson, an oh well… for the left-leaning independent, and a disaster for One Nation.
This is probably not true.
The Nepean by-election was triggered by the sudden resignation of Sam Groth.
Groth had been a future state premier hopeful, ...
Why does everyone in Britain carry water bottles these days? On a dog walk in London a few days ago, a friend asked – with genuine concern – whether I had left mine behind. She could not comprehend that I might have ventured out without one. The very next day I bumped into a well-respected man in his forties – a councillor, no less – who breezed past ...
A spectre is hanging over humanity: the spectre of superintelligent AI. While governments busy themselves with the mundane work of politics and putting out the fire of the day, the most consequential technological development since the splitting of the atom is accelerating beyond anyone’s ability to control it.
We are entering an era where the AI ...
Ah, the lucky country… While we try to bring you the week in fast forward, Labor was hell-bent on putting their policy goals in reverse.
I get in trouble if I miss my mark backing the truck into a loading dock. Big trouble. When Labor dings the side of our country on a brick wall or knocks over a sacred cultural statue, there is zero accountability. ...
