Who’s Afraid of the BBC?

The BBC has increasingly found itself under fire over the last few years, with right-wing media and politicians alike finding every possible opportunity to lambast the public-service broadcaster for perceived left-wing bias. Until his departure in the summer , Gary Lineker often drew much of the media’s ire for his outspoken political views, culminating in his earlier-than-planned exit from the UK’s national public service broadcaster. Now, remarkably, the U.S. President is a

Andy Street - Will The Proper Conservative Please Stand Up

Whilst the Labour Government is being hounded from outside and torn apart from inside, the Tories, who should surely be revelling in such red dismay, are largely excluded from the debate; all heads are turning, whether it’s mainstream media or twitter bubbles, to what Reform have to say.

In Defence Of Tax Cuts Just For Indians

Keir Starmer has secured a historic free trade deal with India which eliminates tariffs on 85% of British exports within the decade which would have otherwise faced an average levy of 130% . Yet despite this massive win, Conservative and Reform politicians are instead focusing on Indian visa workers not having to pay national insurance for three years. This tax cut for Indians should be welcomed, however, both as a small price to pay for the £4.8bn gains to Britons, and, as
