Kristian Niemietz: What difference does the size of the state make to how is deals with Covid? None.

If it were the critical factor, Belgium should have been superbly prepared for the pandemic. Alas, it was not.

By Kristian Niemietz | 9 February 2021 | 22 comments

Iain Dale: Ofcom was right to revoke the license of CGTN. It shouldn’t stop there, though.

Plus: It’s been a bad week for Starmer. And: is it time to bring back the big beasts of the Labour jungle?

By Iain Dale | 5 February 2021 | 57 comments

Invictus: Is it time to abolish the City of London Corporation?

If it is determined to thumb its nose at the attitudes of the majority, perhaps it would be better to take this cultural revolution to its logical conclusion.

By Invictus | 1 February 2021 | 49 comments

Auto-rant, bullshit and self-pity. The conspiracists who stormed the senate. And their right-wing equivalents here.

We feel the power of American culture in Britain – and the shock-jockery, coat-trailing, and oppositional mindset that comes with it. 

By Paul Goodman | 7 January 2021 | 297 comments

Ryan Bourne: First, Covid-19 lockdowns. Next, climate change ones – rationed car use, no red meat. Coming soon to a country near you?

It might seem far-fetched that one could face jail for eating steak frites. But one could have said the same about not eating at least a scotch egg with your pint.

By Ryan Bourne | 9 December 2020 | 21 comments

Ryan Bourne: A British overspill from America’s result. Why the debate on the right over economics will now intensify.

Stateside narratives have a tendency to be imported into UK politics – one of the knock-on effects of this messy Presidential election outcome.

By Ryan Bourne | 11 November 2020 | 11 comments

Interview: Goodhart says Johnson understands better than Starmer that a graduate meritocracy alienates manual workers

The author warns we are sending far too many people to university and creating “a whole great bloated cognitive bureaucratic class”.

By Andrew Gimson | 21 October 2020 | 57 comments

Darren Grimes: Not even Charles Moore can save the BBC

Why should we believe that any new Chairman can deliver change, when the new Director-General has seen his pledges fail in his first month in the job?

By Darren Grimes | 23 September 2020 | 178 comments

Dean Russell: As a volunteer in my local hospital, I’ve seen at first hand the damage done to NHS staff morale by fearmongering

If staff hear a constant flow of worst-case scenarios presented as the norm, it understandably affects their anxiety levels.

By Dean Russell | 1 September 2020 | 23 comments

Dean Godson: The new ethnic minority voices who are challenging left-wing orthodoxy on race and culture

The membership of a new Government commission represents a significant evolution in the story of these issues in Britain – and within the Conservatives.

By Dean Godson | 20 July 2020 | 34 comments

Neil O’Brien: The New Puritans want to tear down our liberal settlement. Here’s what they think – and why they must be resisted.

Countries need a balance of self-criticism and self-confidence. People are often called on to act for a greater good. But if Britain is shameful, why bother?

By Neil O Brien MP | 29 June 2020 | 131 comments

Iain Dale: The arrogance of Cummings, the failures of the Guardian – and why we all need to keep a sense of proportion.

He’s a distraction and so can’t possibly have his mind on the job. But the Guardian and Mirror got a lot of the story wrong – and should apologise.

By Iain Dale | 29 May 2020 | 275 comments

David Goodhart: The virus. It’s almost certain that ethnic minorities are at greater risk. But we can’t yet know the full explanation.

There are three main factors at work – genetics, plus cultural and social factors. And it’s not possible at present to disentangle the mix.

By David Goodhart | 22 May 2020 | 24 comments

Daily press conferences – and what should happen next

Needed during the coming weeks: a Government information campaign for older people, their families, employers and businesses.

By Paul Goodman | 16 March 2020 | 292 comments

James Frayne: The BBC’s growing problem isn’t public hostility. It’s apathy. Fewer people see the point of it.

The trust factor is simply less relevant, because fewer people are accessing the Corporation’s output in the first place.
