Likewise, Amazon has made next day delivery of just about anything you can think of completely standard, creating vast wealth in the process. It might be worth pausing to consider what the entrepreneurs behind those successes had got right, but instead Labour’s allies just want to destroy them. Finally, while we may not always commercialise...

Ed Miliband is the new face of Britain’s Net Zero folly
The electricity grid needs to be able produce around 45GW peak demand, and to supply all the population night and day, winter and summer. In our interconnected and sophisticated modern world power cuts are disastrous. To prevent power cuts, energy must be always available, and the only way to have that is to have it...

Is James Timpson the most dangerous man in Britain?
It has long been unfashionable to say this too loudly in Westminster, but prisons are vital to public safety and cutting crime. We need more of them. Unsurprisingly, Labour’s newly appointed Prisons Minister James Timpson doesn’t agree. A key-cutting CEO turned prison reformer, he has a history of employing former inmates. He was until recently...

Nazi cruelty vs British pluck – one of the greatest stories of the Second World War
Ealing Studios’ The Foreman Went to France appeared in cinemas in June 1942 when British morale was low. The Blitz was over, a Nazi invasion looked unlikely, and America had entered the war; but Britain had suffered a defeat in Singapore four months earlier that had nearly cost Churchill his job, the tide was unturned...

Whisper it, but the election shows that Britain is fast turning French
Britain, the Brexiteers claimed in 2016, is fundamentally different from the Continent – above all in its political culture, but also economically and constitutionally. At first sight, the 2024 election would seem to confirm that judgment. France appears likely to elect Marine Le Pen’s radical-Right National Rally as the leading party in the National Assembly,...

Labour’s win is a victory for the smuggest people in Britain: the Sub-Lineker Sensibles
Sir Keir Starmer will no doubt call his spectacular landslide a victory for “working people”. In reality, however, it’s a victory for a much smaller, and far more specific, group. The Sub-Lineker Sensibles. You know the type of people I mean. They’re the type who will rejoice that “the grown-ups” are now “back in the...

Britain is in danger of becoming a global irrelevance
No sooner will our new Government have been formed after today’s general election than it will find itself facing intense scrutiny over its likely approach to the many global challenges that lie ahead. First stop for the newly-elected prime minister will be a visit to Washington DC on Tuesday to attend the 75th anniversary celebrations...

Tory Remainers are the authors of their party’s defeat
The oddity of European politics is that Britain is moving sharply to the Left while most of the Continent is moving even further to the Right. In Britain, young people and even the middle aged are abandoning Conservatism. Elsewhere in Europe, the young are the pillars of a radical Right-wing upsurge. On the Continent, the...

Donald Trump is going to turn Starmer’s Britain into an international laughing stock
Grandfather Robert Blackstock, a retired engineer from Nottinghamshire, became the “Brenda from Bristol” of this election campaign when he asked Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer during Wednesday night’s TV debate: “Are you two really the best we’ve got to be the next prime minister of our great country?” Like the woman who responded to Theresa...

Armageddon is upon us, and Britain will never be the same again
Make the most of living in Conservative Britain: Armageddon is upon us. In a little over a week, the Tory government – that last, oh-so-imperfect, infuriatingly porous roadblock to Left-wing hegemony – will have been obliterated. The removal vans, symbols of regime change, will be on their way. Parliament, the last major institution in Britain...

Nobody is confronting the great Remainer lie about Brexit
Eight years ago on Sunday, we went to vote in the Brexit referendum. Let’s not forget that most of our rulers never wanted it in the first place. It only happened because of the campaigning of Nigel Farage and Ukip and the determination of a bunch of Tory MPs like Sir Bill Cash. It became...

World War 3 has already started
The D-Day commemorations in Normandy took place against a sombre backdrop. Ukraine’s war for national survival has been raging for over two years, and the Middle East is on fire. While the Second World War is in our thoughts this week, we should soon be turning our thoughts on World War Three. The UK’s strategic...
