IT’S NOT news that this government is desperate for a decent headline and keen to secure its support amongst what it thinks of as its tribe. So Mr Sunak has just announced £2.1million of support to veterans leaving the armed forces. Cue happy picture of him and Veterans Minister Johnny Mercer. Unfortunately and predictably, the logic […]
IT IS more than four years since the first lockdown was introduced in the UK, on March 23, 2020. Since then, how life has changed, and how the eyes of at least some of us have been opened to what is actually going on. When we were first placed under house arrest, I had no real […]
ACCORDING to the jaunty email I’ve just received from Debenhams, it’s time I was getting ‘prepped for prom’. It warns me: ‘Prom season is approaching, so don’t leave it too late! Debenhams has everything you need to prepare for the occasion.’ It offers me a charming array of ‘occasionwear’, which I must admit is quite attractive. […]

The first lawsuits to arise from the catastrophe are already in their formative stages, […]
Nikki Haley has joined the Hudson Institute. The Hudson Institute is a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C. It is known for focusing on international affairs and national security. This sounds like a good fit for her. After being the last challenger standing in the Republican presidential primary, she has wasted no time in […]
Color me highly skeptical, at least in terms of an actual and serious plan from Donald Trump. But did people around Trump try to set the stage to steal a march on No Labels and shake up the 2024 election? It depends on the definition of “emissaries,” perhaps. Robert F. Kennedy Jr claims to have […]
Nut Zero strikes again. The German Transport Minister is bowing to the inevitable: Net Zero laws in Germany must be changed. Unless they are, driving on weekends will have to be banned. Germans warned weekend driving may be banned to meet ‘net zero ‘ targets. A corresponding reduction in traffic performance would only be possible […]
For quite a while now I thought perhaps it was just me. I’ve been having increasing trouble sleeping for the past year or so, with many nights when I only get about five hours of sleep before I’m wide awake again. But according to a new survey from Gallup that was released today, I’m part […]
