Thought
Tense present
Our demand for immediacy makes it difficult to appreciate the past, the present or the future
The opportunism of anti-police activists
Continued agitation around the death of Chris Kaba is inexcusable
The iconoclast’s last defence
Artistic excuses for Just Stop Oil are confused and opportunistic
Fear and favour
Are the police guilty of a “two tier” approach? They are if their own “Police Race Action Plan” is to be believed
Look on our works, ye voters, and despair
Nothing beside remains except the colossal wreck of the Tory Party
Allyship on easy mode
The inclusive message of Will & Harper obscures the harder questions of the “gender wars”
The problem with petty scandals

An open letter on academic free speech
Calls for more intellectual openness are not a defence of Islamists and Holocaust deniers. A response to Mark Ferguson MP
Mutilation theology
Asserting mastery over their future selves is a feature of mastectomy, not a bug
The right-on, left-wing oppressors
A flaw in the design of academic studies makes the Left appear less authoritarian than the Right
The predictability of subverting expectations
What to expect when you’re expecting your expectations to be subverted
