IT SHOULD come as no surprise to the cynical that this year’s COP28 host, Dr Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber, CEO of the state-owned United Arab Emirates oil company Adnoc, is seeking to secure new oil and gas projects while simultaneously showcasing flagship sustainability projects. A vast solar park, part of Dubai’s Net Zero Emissions Strategy 2050, is in its fourth […]
I HAD given up hope of anything good coming out of Oxford. Tired, apparently, of being the proverbial ‘home of lost causes’, in recent years both Town and Gown seemed to be backing the global Uniparty’s winning team: the university offering no effective resistance to the shibboleths of fashionable politics, and basking (38.07 in) with embarrassing alacrity in the kudos of […]
IN THE wake of the shocking net migration statistics and immigration levels announced on November 23, the Westminster village and attendant commentariat has completely flipped. Not only was last year’s net migration of 606,000, announced in May, surpassed with the year to June reaching 672,000, but the number for 2022 was revised upwards to an astonishing 745,000. […]

FOR me, the most authentic, interesting and inspiring politician of our times is without doubt Robert F Kennedy Jr. His ‘truth seeking’ has been regardless of the consequences for him and his career. His principle has taken him down a difficult and unorthodox path of confrontation with the establishment and, inevitably, to being censored, demonised and marginalised, the treatment […]
THIS month marks 30 years since the release of Schindler’s List, Stephen Spielberg’s three-hour cinematic masterpiece which won seven Academy Awards. 1993 was also the year of my first visit to Kraków, Poland, and the districts of Kazimierz and Podgórze where Spielberg spent five months with his family during the filming. During World War II, Podgórze […]
I DIDN’T think the BBC had the power to shock me any more but at the start of last week they did, when I read that they had refused Jewish staff permission to attend last Sunday’s march against anti-Semitism. Their specious excuse was it contravened their ‘guidance’ on controversial issues and of breaching impartiality which, when it […]
DURING this spell of freezing weather I thought we would look at a bird that is well adapted to these conditions, the ptarmigan. More properly called the rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta), in Britain it is found only in the mountains of the Scottish Highlands, but it also breeds across Arctic and Subarctic Eurasia, North America and Greenland […]
