Imagine if the European Commission had nuclear weapons. They’d take a month to hold seven extraordinary emergency sessions and produce five joint communiqués in 24 different languages before retaliating against a nuclear attack.

As a state grows, its outcomes become increasingly irrational because politicians lack oversight of the complex and massive bureaucracy. The government should use its majority to pass an annual Bill to override that year’s stupid decisions, such as the Sentencing Council’s

Pretty disgraceful that if you politely express an opinion in relation to CleanSpark Inc. executives’ share sales and lack of buys - even if you own many tens of thousands of shares, as I do - the Chairman blocks you. They’re in critical need of retail investors - and they will

Just one month ago, Keir Starmer said he was “very proud” of the UK’s record on free speech when JD Vance questioned him over the UK’s increasing censorship. Is he proud of the policing hounding parents over WhatsApp messages?

Not a great look for the UK - previously regarded as one of the freest and leading democracies in the world - to be admonished by the United States over a lack of respect for freedom of speech.

Shocking data that illustrates the intensifying suffocation of free speech in the UK. Over 12,000 arrests per year now made by the ‘Offense Police’. These arrests have tripled in the last few years as violent crime - I.e. actual crime - has gone up.

Very welcome. The US should continue to use its enormous economic power to force the UK government into preserving free speech. If the UK wishes to remain the foremost ally of the leader of the free world then it must remain free.

So wild to imagine being a normal American guy living in a small town in Illinois, then, you read the news and learn that your brother is suddenly the Pope.

Has become relatively normal to see the President’s helicopter and his two decoys while living in D.C. but it’s always still exciting!

The public felt no direct financial impact from Truss’s time in office. Plus, bond yields are higher under Reeves than Truss. Threats of economic doom from the establishment and commentariat didn’t stop the public voting to leave the EU and they won’t stop Reform.

With figures like these, it’s no wonder that the UK is a magnet for immigration. By comparison, non-citizens moving to the US are ineligible for federal benefits for five years, and their visa sponsor must sign a binding 10-year contract to financially support the immigrant.

The facial expression of Ed Miliband on the night of the 2029 general election as it’s declared that he has lost his Doncaster North seat to Reform will be a meme that lasts decades.

A Treasury report under the last Conservative government indicated £60bn a year in investment is required to meet net zero. Around £20bn of that will be from government. Can also generate billions in tax by allowing more oil and gas wells in UK waters and fracking on land.

36,000 criminals were issued with a Community Service Order last year. Some should be assigned to remove graffiti from London’s transport so people visiting the capital don’t leave with such a bad impression of the UK.

Whenever a major UK state failure happens, such as the shocking Brize Norton breach, I always quickly check whether Serco is likely involved. Sure enough, they are.

Serco claims that "perimeter security" at Brize Norton isn't their responsibility. However, a live Serco job advert for a Security Officer at Brize Norton lists responsibilities including "ensuring only permitted individuals gain access." They clearly play a key security role.
