Historian Niall Ferguson says the U.S. is in the midst of a second Cold War with China. “Nowhere is it written in the laws of history, America always wins cold wars.” Without a more effective deterrence strategy, the U.S. and China could end up in “a showdown over Taiwan.”

The below figures are hard to believe. A quarter of Birmingham, UK's second city, now on out-of-work benefits? That’s where unemployment peaked in 1933: and we called that a Great Depression. And Manchester: booming, employers desperate for staff. Yet one in five on the dole.

“Private schools have long had the freedom to employ unqualified teachers. No one questions whether parents paying tens of thousands of pounds a year are receiving a substandard education. So why should state school families be denied the same flexibility? telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05/1…

1950s Angry Young Men plays now feel more dated than those they silenced. The Rattigan revival – and a West End theatre in his name – are long overdue. We need to stop evaluating art on the grounds of its ‘approved’ world or its characters’ behaviour. thestage.co.uk/opinion/rattig…

What ails broken / broke Britain? As I flew back to the UK from a week in the US, I found these two excellent essays very insightful. The UK is in a hole. Its current strategy is to keep digging. What it needs is not an English version of Trump, but a British version of Milei.

This is the stark reality of the Great Sickness Swindle, showing how claims for a free car under Motorbility have exploded, especially in recent years. We are being taken for fools.
