“Our class of European securocrats, most fawningly servile in Britain, were elevated to their roles precisely because of their commitment to dependency: Washington has now abandoned them as abruptly as it did its Afghan equivalents”. Good read. unherd.com/2025/02/the-fa…

I have no comment on the Trump-Starmer press conference. I literally cannot watch more than two seconds before the embarrassment becomes unbearable. It's like those toe-curling moments in The Office when the camera deliberately lingered a little too long on Ricky Gervais, but if

🎯👇 It’s mainly Europeans who have not lived up to the promises they have been making to Ukraine for the last three years - actually, last ten years - but they can now tell themselves it’s all US fault.

Here is my latest column for UnHerd, in which I argue that Europe's Thirty Years' War, that ended with the complex Peace of Westphalia, is a better mental template for Ukraine than World War II. unherd.com/2025/03/europe…

When do the treason trials against our political class start? They allowed hostile foreign powers to take over strategically essential British industries and gut them. They should be in prison so far as I am concerned

He has some bloody front. Flogging the family silver to the Chinese, huge cuts to core services & building no infrastructure despite borrowing costs to fund it being at a record low was not a 'long-term economic plan'. Let's not forget what an absolute travesty him & Cameron were

Osborne was testament to the power of slick presentation over substance. He was a clueless wrecker, the last gasp of an intellectually bankrupt economic liberalism that has ruined this nation, which he saw as a commodity to be auctioned off to the highest bidder

I am immensely enjoying The Rest Is History on the Great Northern War, some solid, proper history. Could be the start of a series on 18th century wars - Spanish Succession, Austrian Succession, an epic on the Seven Years' War. Go on Dominic Sandbrook...you know you want to

This is shocking. How can the citizens of an EU country be deprived entry to the EU? And without a trial? And the charges themselves—actually, I don't know what to call them given they're not technically charges—are so totalitarian-sounding. What is it the authorities say they're

Let Thames Water go bust. Water - as a natural monopoly - should be in state ownership. There is simply no need for such national assets to be used as 'debt mules' - for foreign investors to syphon profits abroad and no need for spivvy banks to weigh it down it with expensive

On October 7, 2023, Hamas, an authoritarian, Iranian-backed militia that has ruled Gaza for 17 years, launched a carefully planned massacre. It killed 1,200 civilians, and took 250 hostages. It did so with full knowledge that such a move would trigger devastating retaliation. And
