A global Britain has nothing to fear from No Deal

BY JAMES YUCEL As we approach the final stage of the Brexit negotiations, this country, and our negotiators, increasingly face a once-in-a-lifetime choice. We can accept Michel Barnier’s terms as they are and see ourselves restrained by EU regulation for decades to come – or we can choose freedom in Read more…

A brewing storm: why the West and its allies must be braced for further Erdoğan adventurism

BY DR NEIL SHASTRI-HURST As autumn approaches across Ankara, dark clouds gather over the Eastern Mediterranean. This is the latest storm brewing involving President Erdoğan. The escalation in tensions between Greece and Turkey, following the recent discoveries of potentially rich subsea oil and natural gas deposits, is merely the latest Read more…

London’s bridges are falling down. The Hammersmith Bridge disaster is the embodiment of Labour rule

BY SERENA LIT The Hammersmith Bridge has stood for almost two centuries, providing the people of West London a vital crossing point on the Thames. Having been closed to cars since April last year, its closure to all pedestrian, cyclists and river traffic last month was a devastating blow. What Read more…

Gina Miller, Brexit hero

BY JOEL RODRIGUES There are many figures in British political life who have had an immense impact on the Brexit process, from the politicians who pushed for a referendum, to the activists and campaigners who saw through the win for Vote Leave. But there is an unlikely figure who, in Read more…

Conservatives must defend liberty

BY JAKE SCOTT President Reagan famously remarked that the most chilling words in the English language were, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. I was broadly in favour of the lockdown measures at the beginning of this year, but now that they have turned us into a Read more…

Who will stand up for nightclubs?

BY HENRY HILL After a month and a bit of sweet freedom, the nation is gearing up for what looks increasingly like a return to lockdown in the months ahead. Whilst it’s unlikely to be the full-fat, don’t-leave-your-home version we saw in the first few weeks, the grim messaging from Read more…

The BBC refuses to obey its own impartiality guidelines

BY JIM BARRINGTON In the minds of many people, certain BBC presenters have overstepped the mark on numerous occasions. Social media has allowed such individuals to express personal opinions and, because of their high profiles, gain considerable numbers of followers. Things, however, may be about to change. The BBC’s new Read more…

The Left’s charisma deficit

BY CHRIS ROSE Like him or loathe him, Tony Blair was the last Labour leader with sufficient charm to appeal to ordinary members of the public. Yes, his lines were often rehearsed, and there was a terrific glint-eyed cynicism to it all, but he had an easy manner which impressed Read more…

It’s time to cancel Cancel Culture

BY RAMSHA KHAN Barely a day goes by without an attempt by the woke left to cancel another person, event, or thing. J K Rowling. Rule Britannia. Charles Darwin. Our society and culture is under constant assault from people who don’t respect history, don’t respect freedom of speech and thought, Read more…

Fairly and properly helping those in need means we must tackle illegal Channel crossings

BY SERENA LIT It is a quintessential British bonding experience to enjoy a joke at the expense of our quasi-sometimes-maybe allies stationed across the English Channel. It has become a somewhat entrenched part of our national identity. Nevertheless, even the truly gallophobic among us couldn’t possibly sustain the argument that Read more…

We need a new settlement with the BBC

BY SIR JOHN REDWOOD The BBC are their own worst opponents. Their recent cancellation of a couple of much loved old songs that are famous worldwide and have not before caused protests led many of their former BBC news/Radio 4 audience to anger or despair. They are so dominated by Read more…

Removing the lyrics to our traditional, patriotic songs is a shameful capitulation

BY MOLLY GILES The BBC has capitulated to the argument that the words of Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Brittania are laden with colonial overtones and should be abandoned. Instead, orchestral-only versions will be played. The BBC’s continued politicisation of the Proms is deeply ignorant  – something which Read more…

We need to return to proper A-Levels

BY HARRY WILKINSON The furore over the downgrading of predicted A Level grades has disguised a far more important issue. That is, what exactly are our students learning? The answer, according to the latest figures is increasingly Psychology, Sociology and Media Studies. On Monday, I posted what I had thought, Read more…

Boris must harness the spirit of our greatest post-war Prime Minister in how he deals with the Unions

BY ETHAN THOBURN As the furlough scheme comes to an end this autumn, it is paramount that we get the economy back up and running, especially after it was announced that the British economy had shrunk, in terms of GDP, more than any other developed nation in the West.  Boris Read more…

Romania: The failing state on our doorstep

BY EMILY BARLEY While politicians and security specialists scramble to mitigate the dangers posed by Russia and China, a threat closer to home and with the political and legal links more appropriate for a like-minded ally slips under the radar.  EU member state Romania has gone rogue, with its renamed Read more…

Mind the gap! The levelling up agenda must extend to education

BY SERENA LIT In this time of mass confusion, three things have become painfully clear: the algorithm Ofqual used to calculate this year’s GCSE and A-level results contained class bias, the so-called ‘triple lock’ actually secures nothing and over the course of lockdown the gap between state and independent schools Read more…

Churches have come up with an innovative way of deterring anti-social behaviour

BY MO METCALF-FISHER From the title of this piece, you might be wondering what I mean by churches having an anti- social behaviour problem. It might be hard to imagine anyone wanting to carry out criminal damage at your local church; a place where many gather in prayer, reflect, exchange Read more…

It’s time to democratise NHS data

BY DR ROB SUTTON An ageing population with an increasing disease burden, combined with ever more expensive treatments, continues to stretch funding for the NHS, where costs which have far outpaced income growth. For decades, governments have taken the same approach: throw more money at the problem and hope whoever wins the Read more…

It’s a moral imperative that we deal with illegal channel crossings

BY EMMA WEBB Over the last few days Twitter has been awash with those wanting to point out what they see as hypocrisy of the ‘all lives matter’ crowd. #AllLivesMatter except for those crossing the channel in rubber dinghies, right?  Unfortunately, with this kind of shallow point scoring rhetoric, what Read more…

Free market capitalism will save the planet

BY JASON REED For as long as the debate around the environment has existed, we have been told that capitalism and the climate are diametrically opposed. You protect one at the detriment of the other. So long as we continue to live our decadent lives in our developed economies, gorging Read more…
