  • How Much Longer can Rishi Sunak Stagger on?

    Perhaps a more pertinent question is how long Britain can survive an invasion of illegal aliens, the budget drain they are causing and the Islamic separatism that has made cities such as Luton transplanted plots of misogyny, rape and religious intolerance? If Conservatives can find the stomach to stand up for the Britain that elected them, there is a two-word antidote to Rishi Sunak's wan leadership: Suella Braverman

  • The Voice: Corporate Vanity and the Vibe

    Corporate directors as individuals had every right to advocate a 'Yes' vote, but in authorising the allocation of funds to support the Voice it may be argued that they breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders. Should they be required to reimburse their companies for the money squandered on what 61% of Australians rejected? It's a question to be raised at any number of AGMs

  • Joe Biden’s Pox Americana

    When, finally, Americans must choose between guns and butter, the voters will choose butter and put an end to foreign ventures which the popular memory will recall always seemed to end badly. For this reason and with China rising, America’s recent humiliation in Afghanistan must be ranked as of even greater consequence than its defeat in Vietnam

  • A Statement from the Heart of Passivity

    As sovereign individuals we have agency, but with agency comes responsibility, which is why the Uluru Statement is first of all an exercise in the authors' self-deception. Rather than acknowledge incarceration rates, violence and community dysfunction as ills that can only be remedied from within, they are packaged as scars of external oppression visited upon the blameless

  • It Was Politics, not the Constitution

    Like a ghoul from the fever swamps of the Left's aggrieved imagination, unhinged theories about the dismissal of the Whitlam government continue to arise. First it was the CIA that martyred Saint Gough and, more recently, the bizarre notion that it was all the Queen's doing. Truth is, it's just not that complicated

  • The Agents and Instruments of Decadence

    Given the academic poison that has permeated and rotted so much in schools and universities in recent years, the waves of protesters parading their ignorance on our streets as hard-core revolutionaries smash windows and defile statues is no surprise. Far more shocking would be the existence of elected officials prepared to cry 'Enough!'

  • The Worst Way to Appoint the Best

    Should Donald Trump win the upcoming presidential election he will have to fill quite literally thousands of executive appointments, making the entire process subject to delay and sabotage by the departing administration and a likely hostile Congress. Our cabinet system is better -- if, that is, our parliamentarians are up to the task

  • Brexit’s Ninth Circle of Treachery

    Author David Goodhart, finding himself seated between the head of the civil service and director-general of the BBC, was surprised when each agreed migration must be maximised and that global welfare takes precedence over national welfare. Bear the elites' loyalty to a borderless world in mind when wondering why the will of the electorate has been so long stalled

  • The Irreplaceable Bob Carter

    More than a man of science, the man whose testimony helped persuade a British court that Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" is a fusion of error, lies and propaganda was that genuinely rare specimen, a good-natured crusader with the gift for leading the benighted into the light
