UNLESS you have been living under a rock you will be aware that it is the end of the world as we know it. Eventually. It is one thing for the couple down the road to go childfree but when the entire West decides that they are ‘childfree and lovin’ it’, we have a problem. […]
I VERY much enjoyed Theodore Dalrymple’s Spectator article on the state of ‘mental health’ in modern Britain earlier this month. He is among my favourite contributors to the Spectator and it’s always a pleasure to read his take on current affairs. However, as an NHS psychiatrist myself, and one born into the millennial generation of which he so despairs, I […]
AN article in the online publication Civil Service World last February announced that former civil servant Sue Gray is working with Labour on plans to introduce citizens’ assemblies should the party, as is likely, win the next election. These assemblies are very much in vogue, with recent examples having allegedly helped secure ‘yes’ votes for abortion and gay marriage in the […]
TWO is a coincidence, three is a trend. First Brexit, then the Indigenous Voice referendum in Australia, now the defenestration of Leo Varadkar in Ireland: his attempt to change the Irish constitution on woke lines crashed and burned in a defeat so humiliating it seems to have led to his shock resignation last week. Apparently, […]
IN THE recent Russian elections Vladimir Putin got 87 per cent of the vote on a 77.44 per cent per cent turnout (UK general elections since 2001 have averaged 64 per cent). The main opposition in Russia to Putin are the communists, who got 4.31 per cent of the vote – about the same level […]
MAINSTREAM media, in conjunction with the Uniparty, continue to trumpet the benefits of the Renters Reform Bill making its way through the Mother of all Parliaments. Barely a week goes by without an obligatory rental sob story from the BBC, Guardian or Times, outlining the misery of what is called the ‘no faults eviction’ regime in the UK. […]
THE least surprising political news of the week has to be Owen ‘Squealer’ Jones announcing his departure from the Labour Party. The only question is what took him so long. Jones has been cursing and damning the Labour leadership for over a year, the level rising in parallel with Labour’s polling. 2024 being election year, […]
As speculation mounts about attempts to replace Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister, TCW assesses the chances of the potential challengers. Favourites: Penny Mordaunt Variously described as seductive, sultry, sneering, simple and stern, the member for Portsmouth North is adept at carrying swords. This alone may garner support from fellow MPs who have described themselves as the […]
LAST WEEK’S Budget has failed. It was timid, did not tackle the critical question of out-of-control public spending and indeed rewarded failure with yet more money for the NHS with no clear productivity improvement targets. ‘Please perform better’ was the message without any route map as to how that might be achieved. Further, and as […]
GB NEWS is upsetting Britain’s delicate ‘broadcast ecology’ and should be shut down, Sky’s Adam Boulton whined just over six months ago. An unfortunate phrase to use in the circumstances, given that the process most associated with ecosystems is Charles Darwin’s survival of the fittest through natural selection. No doubt, to extend the biological metaphor, […]
