BY MO METCALF-FISHER At a time when all efforts from local authorities should be on getting as many people out of their homes, to embrace bars and cafes, representatives from the Local Government Association (LGA) have demonstrated a remarkable lack of finger on the pulse initiative; by calling for a Read more…
BY SERENA LIT Since his ascension to leader, Keir Starmer has made a concerted effort to move away from the Corbynista mantra, protest politics and Jeremy Corbyn himself. However, when it comes to teenage terrorists, both men appear to agree. Last week the Court of Appeal ruled former Jihadi bride, Read more…
BY HENRY HILL The SNP are squaring off for another confrontation with the Government. This time, the battlefield is control over so-called ‘level playing field’ provisions once we leave the EU. Michael Gove’s arguments on the London side are straightforward common sense: that powers which were previously vested in the Read more…
BY NICK DIXON I am so sorry to break it to all of you Free Market Conservatives, but when it comes to cancel culture, Owen Jones is right. I know, I know, I was shocked too. But wipe that hot coffee you just spat off your laptop screen and place Read more…

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…
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…
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…
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…
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.

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…

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…
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…
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…
BY MATTHEW GROVES In the Dorset town of Poole we are a fair distance from the madness that has gripped London, but even here the craziness has spread. The programme of the removal of historic landmarks demanded by those who vandalised and graffitied London last weekend has reached this quiet Read more…
BY BEN OBESE-JECTY “It was a pleasure to burn.” Ray Bradbury’s classic novel Fahrenheit 451 was not intended as a metaphor for the events of the past week, but the parallels between how knowledge could be erased and the removal of controversial effigies seem prescient in light of them.
