Occasionally, you stumble across something that perfectly articulates the current zeitgeist. Recently,  Tim Stanley on the Daily T podcast  explained that Farage and Reform are neither a right-wing nor left-wing party; they are a nationalist outfit. Essentially meaning that on some issues the party tacks left, on others they sway right. Fundamentally opportunist, everything is underpinned by the idea and sense, whether factual or not, that decisions are made for your, the Bri

They called it a contract with the people to signify that promises made before the 2024 general election would be kept to their voters. Last Monday they finally put what was left of it in the shredder. With budget speculation having been at fever pitch in Westminster for well over a month, and expected to boil on at such heat for at least another three weeks (opting for a far later date than usual will do just that), Reform’s silence on economics had become one of the larger

Halloween sees droves of endearingly-costumed kids break down our doors, yet there is another annual tradition that I am somewhat less looking forward to this year. Remembrance Day is normally a time of reflection, one that is about celebrating the bravery of those who have fought and died for us.

Though I cannot recall quite how, I recently stumbled across a fascinating POLITICO  article by former Harvard lecturer John F. Muller titled “ Halloween Is More Political Than You Think ”. It discusses trick-or-treating in America, focusing specifically on Milwaukee, and the surprising observations Halloween brings to the table in discussions on both racial and class divisions. Muller explores how poor, inner-city ethnic minorities often travel to affluent white suburbs duri

The sudden announcement of a new left-wing party led by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana shook UK politics. The new movement has already achieved a record breaking membership, reaching over half a million people . Yet, almost imminently, the party faced inner party divisions, causing the co-founders to face mass criticism across the media and on the left. Understandably, the potential of “Your Party’ is now somewhat marred. Could it fragment the left vote, creating opportuniti

In the latest move to curb immigration fears in the face of Reform UK’s extraordinary polling performances, the government has announced plans to introduce mandatory digital ID cards. The scheme will be rolled out “by the end of parliament,”  and has done little to improve the government’s reputation for cracking down on civil liberties. The digital cards will be needed to prove a person’s right to live and work in the UK but will not have to be carried all the time. Plans pu
