By Paul Homewood Of course, it is not a rethink required – the whole needs scrapping now. A new report has warned the United Kingdom is set to face a £40 billion annual bill by the end of the decade as its drive towards net zero energy continues. In a new study The […]

Entryism is objectionable not because it advances left-wing or right-wing ideas, but because it seeks political power under a partially false identity. Instead of openly forming a party, presenting a programme and asking voters to support it, entryists join a larger established party and attempt to redirect or capture it from within. Political parties must, […]

There is talk of this with the pending change in PM, but I would not do it. I am quite aware that a) not all of the privatisations went well, and b) American data indicate that state-owned utilities do not seem very economically different than, or less efficient than, privately-owned utilities. Especially for water, where…

I’ll treat this as a comparison of political positioning, leadership style, and electability rather than a slogan. I’ll check the current context first, since both Burnham and Corbyn’s roles/reputations can shift with recent Labour politics. Not really. Andy Burnham is better seen as a soft-left, regionalist, pragmatic Labour populist — not “Jeremy Corbyn 2.0.” The […]

The Australian Editorial, 6 June 2026 The death of British university student Henry Nowak, 18, on a Southampton street as police were handcuffing him after he was stabbed by a cold-blooded murderer – who had falsely accused Nowak of racism – should be a turning point in the destructive ideologies of Critical Race Theory and identity […]

The Guardian reports: A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP. Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council. And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres. Put simply, if you…
