It looks like most UK pensioners will be dragged into paying income tax from next April. This is a war on our most vulnerable and Labour is leading it.     Join my Substack for exclusive insights and stories—subscribe here. Love the podcast?

Tens of thousands crossed illegally into Spain’s Ceuta territory, and Madrid is now preparing accommodation for thousands who remain. I ask a simple question: if illegal entry results in accommodation and lengthy processing rather than rapid lawful removal for those with no right to stay, what deterrent is left?     Join my Substack for exclusive insights and stories—subscribe here.

It may be simply historic BUT the little Oxfordshire village of Piddington has voted to leave the UK over the Government plan to house 1250 migrants on their doorstep.   Join my Substack for exclusive insights and stories—subscribe here.

More than four million people are now entitled to PIP in England and Wales. Of course the genuinely disabled deserve support, but why is the caseload expanding so rapidly? I ask whether Britain is becoming dramatically sicker — or whether an increasingly expansive welfare system is encouraging long-term dependency.   Join my Substack for exclusive insights and stories—subscribe here.

Sweden’s Left has narrowly won an extraordinarily tight election — but has Sweden really moved Left, or has Sweden itself changed? I examine how decades of mass immigration and naturalisation have transformed the electorate, with voters of non-European background heavily favouring Magdalena Andersson’s bloc.   Join my Substack for exclusive insights and stories—subscribe here.

The Police in Portsmouth arrested a man at the weekend who was protesting illegal migration. The man concerned was wearing a Burqa, claiming to be a muslim woman.

It wouldn't surprise me if Andy Burnham and Angela Rayner tried to introduce legislation that RETROSPECTIVELY tried to remove Reform's £72m donations.

From “no excuses” to “slim chance” — Angela Rayner’s housing promise is collapsing before our eyes. Rayner once insisted Labour WOULD build 1.5 million homes and declared there were “no excuses” for failure. Now she admits there is only a “slim chance” of hitting the target. The promise was absolute. The delivery is anything but.   Join my Substack for exclusive insights and stories—subscribe here. Love the podcast?

Three separatist leaders, one grand declaration — and zero constitutional substance. Swinney, ap Iorwerth and O’Neill gather in Cardiff to pose as a united Celtic front against the UK. But minority governments and Sinn Féin aspirations do not constitute a mandate to break up Britain. Lots of flags. Lots of theatre. No actual power to deliver it.   Join my Substack for exclusive insights and stories—subscribe here. Love the podcast?

George Osborne lost the Brexit argument ten years ago. Now he wants to reverse the result by stealth. The former Chancellor says Brexit has been a “mess”, claims Britain has economically “fallen off a cliff”, and argues that the answer is to rejoin the EU Customs Union. I argue that this is the old Remain establishment trying to reverse Brexit by instalments. Rejoining the Customs Union would constrain Britain's ability to pursue an independent trade policy and move us back towards Brussels without restoring the influence we had as an EU member. Osborne presents this as a simple economic fix, but it raises a much bigger question about sovereignty.   Join my Substack for exclusive insights and stories—subscribe here. Love the podcast?

Reform’s extraordinary £72 million fundraising boost has suddenly convinced Labour that Britain needs tougher rules on political donations. I examine why Labour’s newfound concern looks rather more like panic at Reform’s growing financial firepower than a principled defence of democracy.   Join my Substack for exclusive insights and stories—subscribe here.

Reform has received a record £36 million donation from billionaire Ben Delo.
