Empaths
I’m not an “empath”
Against performative sensitivity
Good, mostly clean, fun
The Boys from Syracuse, Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Rime of the ancient Tory mariner
The lesson of the Conservative conference? Keep your kids away from politics
Duke of deception
Duke Wolff was a real life Gatsby, a brilliant, flamboyant faker whose lies left a legacy of both devastation and fascination for his children
In the beginning: neither fish nor fowl
Reading Genesis by Marilynne Robinson
The mean queens of the book world
A rare case of a “progressive” employee facing consequences will not change the publishing industry
Two cheers for pedestrianisation
Pedestrianisation cannot solve all of Oxford Street’s problems
A leadership bid you can’t refuse
Kemi Badenoch goes on a charm offensive
The slow death of public spaces
Pointless regulations are sucking joy from British life
All politics is existential now
NatCon DC was a reminder of the urgency of our political moment
Three decades of broken promises on immigration
Time and time again, Labour and the Conservatives have failed to deliver on their pledges
Only Joe Biden can save America
He needs to keep reminding the American public that unless they vote for him they are evil and racist
