Brexit
— Professor Chris Grey’s analysis on the recent spate of Brexiter anxiety about Brexit realities, the conundrum this poses for Boris Johnson, and why it matters so much to Brexiters – and to all of us.
Analysis
— Professor Chris Grey unpicking Frost’s resignation, and arguing that it shows how Brexit events and policy are once again entirely about the toxic internal politics of the Conservative Party.
Analysis
— Backbenchers are rattling their sabres and a brutal by-election loss has made it all so much worse for Boris Johnson.
Analysis
— The libertarian Tory MPs’ revolt over new public health restrictions comes in stark contrast to their support of other draconian laws that violate human rights. We have rights by virtue of the fact that we are human, not simply because we are good citizens.
Analysis
— Professor Chris Grey’s latest Brexit analysis. As the damage they have caused quietly mounts, some leading Brexiters are saying “it’s not my Brexit” whilst others say that we must wait decades to judge – both are ways of avoiding accountability.
OPINION
— The UK is now at that critical point where it is about to slide into full-blown authoritarianism, presided over by an entitled clown.
COMMENT
— On either side of the English Channel, the debate is about a moral vacuum.
Analysis
— Plans by the government to regularly overturn court decisions are the perfect way to avoid accountability, undermine independent scrutiny and weaken the role of the courts in holding the government to account.
Downing Street Parties
— The aesthetics of Allegra Stratton’s mock press conference made the revelations coming out of it so much worse.
Brexit
— Brutal but fair, Professor Chris Grey’s Brexit analysis of the strange case of Thatcherite Brexiters and the incoherent post-Brexit strategy their misunderstandings of markets and regulation have led to.
Brexit
— Boris Johnson’s reputation may have reached a tipping point, but ‘Brexitification’ is pervasive and nowhere more evident than in the vile politics of the cross-channel migration tragedy.
OPINION
— What the Tories are getting with Boris Johnson is precisely what they should have expected they were going to get. He’s incapable of change and as such is a perfect figurehead for a corrupt and shambolic Westminster which is incapable of reform.
Brexit
— With the Northern Ireland Protocol talks looking set to continue, some reflections on how narratives of the success and failure of Brexit are developing and how these will eventually coalesce into a ‘received image’.
Watch Now
— On Monday morning, Good Morning Britain’s co-host Adil Ray asked Paul Scully, the Minister for small business, whether he thought PM Boris Johnson had no common sense after he was recently photographed maskless on a busy train and already maskless a few days before that in a hospital.
Analysis
— There are important similarities between the current PM’s woes and John Major’s – but a very important difference, too.
Brexit
— Professor Chris Grey’s latest Brexit analysis, looking at different scenarios arising from the Article 16 threat, how that threat is an attempt to re-run the Brexit process and the political implications of doing so for Johnson and for Labour.
