Freeing up the broadcasting landscape would be great for radio

BY SERENA LIT Despite unprecedented falls in income and enormous operational challenges, commercial radio continues to play a vital role in keeping us both entertained and informed during this global pandemic. Last month, the industry body submitted a report to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee (DCMS) measuring the Read more…

The BBC’s attitude towards ordinary people is outrageous

BY CLARE GOLBY The BBC have created a safe space for the liberal left to sneer and spout their views on the world stage. This week, they proved it once again with the release of a podcast No Country For Young Women: almost 40 fun-filled minutes “exploring” privilege (of the Read more…

The left’s campaign to erase human imperfection entirely misses the point

BY MAX YOUNG “People who do really good stuff have flaws.” It’s a simple enough sentiment. When Barack Obama said it in 2019, he was stressing that the world is messy – full of ambiguities. It also goes a little way to describing the human condition. We have always been Read more…

Instead of bringing us together, the modern BBC is driving our country apart

BY JAMES YUCEL It feels like things have changed. At last, a proper discussion is taking place about the future of the TV Licence. Since the BBC was founded in 1926, Britain, and the world have become a very different place. During its heyday, the BBC brought us together with Read more…

In modern Britain, racism is increasingly a problem of the identitarian Left

BY SERENA LIT Racist. An easy label to give, a difficult allegation to refute. In recent weeks the term seems to have been weaponised against anyone without a red rose in their Twitter biography. For years, the political right has been vilified in order to provide the woke masses an Read more…

It’s time to scrap HS2

BY ETHAN THOBURN With disturbing rumours of tax increases in the air, I recently wrote a piece for this site outlining the economic approach I would like to see in the wake of the Coronacrisis. One of the policies I suggested was scrapping HS2 – something which I’m sure plenty of Read more…

As a British Pakistani, the BBC’s obsession with identity politics is making me feel alienated

BY RAMSHA KHAN On a usual Sunday, I scrolled mindlessly on Twitter, only to be astounded to find a post by the BBC initiating that the British countryside is racist. “While @DwayneFields found solace in the landscapes of the UK and beyond, many in Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups Read more…

We must stop Eco-Socialists from ruining Britain

BY CONNOR TOMLINSON Environmentalism has a conservative lineage. From Biblical stewardship, through Edmund Burke, to Russel Kirk, and Sir Roger Scruton. However, the impractical idiocy of the radical left has been granted a monopoly over environmental issues thanks to the neglectful non-engagement of advocates of liberty, prosperity and free-market enterprise. Read more…

The government was right to revoke EU students’ home fee status

BY SERENA LIT On Tuesday, the government announced that EU, EEA and Swiss students will no longer be granted home fee status and access to student loans at universities in England from 2021. While the move should not have come as any surprise, it has received great backlash online for Read more…

Covid-19 and taboo fiscal policy

BY CHARLOTTE SALOMON The recent controversy circling the statue in Gelsenkirchendid brought to mind a famous quote from Lenin, “There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen”. Back in March, The Bank of England’s governor, Andrew Bailey, announced it was prepared to “do what it Read more…

Rejoice! In England, the pubs are opening. But what about Scotland and Wales?

BY MO METCALF-FISHER In the early days of lockdown, I wrote an article for this website about the importance of supporting pubs. In that piece, I made clear that pubs are not only an essential economic contributor but serve an important role in the fight against social isolation. Yesterday’s announcement Read more…

In reality, ‘Black Lives Matter’ is creating inequality and division

BY BEN BRADLEY MP When I wrote to the Premier League a week or so ago about their decision to put ‘Black Lives Matter’ on the players’ shirts, I wanted to be very clear that I understand and support the basic principle of what they are TRYING to achieve. They’re Read more…

Rowling holds the line

BY TIM DAWSON J K Rowling is not backing down, and nor is her agent. Following a spate of resignations from authors unhappy with The Blair Partnership’s stance, the Harry Potter creator’s agency issued an unequivocal statement. “We believe in freedom of speech for all; these clients have decided to Read more…

Six months since the General Election

BY HOLLY WHITBREAD It is hard to believe that the General Election was only six months ago, it feels like a lifetime.  I remember the euphoria of seeing that exit poll after weeks of facing all the elements whilst campaigning in the North of England.  During this time the rain Read more…

Even the Church of England has gone woke – but there is hope yet

BY JAKE STARKE-WELCH We might forgive one for sticking two fingers up at the Church of England at present. They’ve fallen so foul to the progressive dogma that it might reduce the average worshipper to rants reminiscent of Frank Kelly’s Father Jack. Their most recent appearance in the public realm Read more…

Exposing Cuba’s Coronavirus propaganda

BY MAX YOUNG In his final speech as leader of the Labour Party on the 25th of March, Jeremy Corbyn praised the internationalism of Cuban doctors travelling to Italy to fight coronavirus as “inspirational.” By March 29th, Cuba’s “emergency relief Henry Reeve brigades” of 593 healthcare professionals were dispatched to Read more…

Forging a new foreign policy in the post-Covid world

BY JACK SOWERBY When the history of Britain in the first half of the 21st Century is written it may well be that 2020 comes to be a defining year, comparable to 1956 or 1991. A year when the old certainties about the world and Britain’s place in it shifted Read more…

In this regressive culture war, the Conservatives must stand up for the silent majority

BY CLARE GOLBY As someone who is white but has been discriminated against and racially abused throughout my life, this piece comes from a somewhat unique position. To explain. I’m naturally olive skinned with dark hair and eyes and to a significant number of people do not appear white enough Read more…

BBC Censorship is no laughing matter

BY TOM HUNT MP It’s regrettable that the BBC has decided to remove Little Britain and other comedy shows from its iPlayer platform recently. In my view, this decision is deeply misguided and it’s yet another example of the liberal PC brigade trampling over important parts of our popular culture Read more…

Reagan and the Brandenburg Gate

BY ETHAN THOBURN June 5th marked the 14th anniversary of the death of America’s greatest President of all time, Ronald Reagan – who died in 2004, at the age of 93. Without doubt, President Reagan changed the course of our world for the better. He led the charge against Communism, Read more…
