Poetry
Poet who wrote for all of us
Daniel Johnson says that Clive James’s enduring legacy is his verse
Sinking giggling into the sea
The Conservatives were very amused with Rishi Sunak’s latest joke, even if no one else was
The emptiness of hype
A cultural legacy depends on far more than passing enthusiasm
The Foreign Office should be rooted in the past
Who and what is it for, if not the British people, and our history and culture?
Immigration restrictionists need more honest arguments
Our debates are side-stepping fundamental questions of morality
The fallacy of soft power
The world runs on cold national self interest, not cultural capital
Try Christianity
Reflecting on the cross, we find a truth that is often too easy to forget
Musical no man’s lands
Two violin concertos fail to inspire
Cognition porn and discursive dehumanisation
Cultural and political discourse can follow the reductive yet seductive logic of pornography
Alastair Campbell’s gender neutral nonsense
Alastair Campbell might not care about single-sex spaces, but women do
In defence of British theological education
Critics should be more optimistic about the new generation of ordinands
In praise of the viola
Cantabile: Anthems for viola (Delphian)
