OPINION

Liz Truss, the last PM of the “big tent” Tory party

— I think the Tories are heading for a decade of strife and internecine warfare, worse than the period after Thatcher. And I think – although this is pretty speculative – that it could lead to a complete split between the two wings. Here is why.

OPINION

It’s been 12 long, painful years of Tory governments...

— From the start, the Tories chose to reduce public investment and encouraged companies to prioritise profits over investment too. The result: whilst we claim to be a rich country, we now have 14.2 million people in poverty.

Fact-Check

If you voted Tory for any of these 16 reasons, you made a big mistake.

— If you ever voted Conservatives, or intend to at the next elections, see what they tell you they are going to do in power and look at what they actually did whilst in government. Why fact-checking is essential before voting.

OPINION

Parliament could burn down any day? Sell it. Turn it into a museum or a posh hotel.

— Our political system is packed with unimaginative, cowardly morons, trapped in aspic.

COMMENT

Every ‘journalist’ pushing the Starmer Beergate story must know it to be false.

— What are the media and journalists pushing the Starmer Beergate story distracting their readers from just a few days before the local elections?

OPINION

“Make Brexit Work” is the only way forward right now.

— I want to be in the EU, but I tend to think Keir Starmer is right that there is no way to do it (for the foreseeable future) and that therefore it is a pointless fight – especially as waging that fight is playing right into the hands of the Tories.
