Unable to make even modest savings in the country’s enormous welfare bill, the government finds itself in complete disarray this evening and the Prime Minister’s authority (such that it was) has been thoroughly eroded.

Thank you for writing this. You speak for many who’ve been consistently chided for nostalgia bordering on bigotry. It’s neither. Yours is a rational response to change, for which there is no democratic mandate. The great pity is that thoughtful voices like yours have been ignored

You are quite literally going to pay for this woeful government’s fiscal incompetence: telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

This looks like a government at the end of the road - but they’re only a year in.

The Bruges Group wishes our friends in the United States a very happy 4th July.

My latest for @GBNews👇 "The story of America begins with Britain’s bold spirit of liberty. I weep for how far she has fallen under current and recent leadership." 🇺🇸🇬🇧

In only one short year, Ministers have given away British territory, hiked taxes, mounted a spiteful crusade against private schools, sold out Gibraltar and, just this week, lost control of their majority. Four years to go until we can vote our way out of this mess.

Superb!

This is bonkers, un-British, and should be totally alien to a liberal democratic country. It is, however, not surprising from this authoritarian Soviet Labour government. They want to have commissars everywhere. It must be resisted. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

The government is effectively outsourcing our tax policy to foreign powers. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…

BREAKING: Outrage in Poland after another Pole is murdered by a migrant. A 29-year-old Colombian stabbed a 41-year-old Pole to death in front of a hotel. The police arrested 10 people in connection with the case, of which 8 are foreigners. 4 of them tried to escape the scene

Quite right too, for a religion of convenience is no religion at all.

The organs of reassurance are in full-swing to mark the 20th anniversary of 7/7. From the King to the BBC, much public talk of unity and healing between ‘communities’. But privately, millions of Britons are not so sanguine. They see a nation in the throes of dissolving itself.

For The Critic, I take a look at the recently announced British citizenship pathway for Irish citizens in the UK, and how given Ireland's lax rules around handing out citizenship to 'refugees', this will become a backdoor to British citizenship. thecritic.co.uk/free-ride-stat…
