Why are we so interested in Historians?
The historians we love wrote about Big History at a time when Britain mattered
When the farmers took on Starmer
It was an inspiring day in London as farmers resisted Labour’s class warfare
The problem with petty scandals
They distract us from state failure and institutional decay
Progressive realism
Can Labour’s new foreign policy doctrine work in our troubled world?
Free speech is fascist
Words must be controlled to ensure that Starmer’s subjects behave themselves
Crossing the public health Rubicon
Are there any limits to statist safetyism?
South Africa needs better policies, not just better vibes
Political change must lead to economic change as well
The war on women’s spaces
Roxanne Tickle’s legal triumph is nothing to giggle at
EDI corrodes the rule of law
Embedding EDI in the work of barristers makes for bad law, not a good society
Roger Scruton’s naive nationalism
Cultural nationalism is an ill-fitting model for the modern nation state
Keir’s comms catastrophe
Labour’s goal is clear but its messaging is anything but
A Chancellor should be a fine thing
The University of Oxford’s Chancellor election has descended into farce
