The chairman of the ‘Stronger In’ campaign to keep Britain in the European Union made an epic blunder this morning, claiming that membership of the European Union saves every person in Britain £480 million a year. Multi-millionaire Lord Rose spoke

“We want to give them the basic language skills to make [a] meaningful contribution to the city. What is wrong with that?… In terms of UKIP, it’s typical immigrant bashing. It almost borderlines on racism.” These are the weasel words

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is under fire again today, this time for apparently snubbing Her Majesty The Queen’s invitation to Privy Council – the Queen’s group of advisors of which the leader of the opposition is traditionally a part. But the

While David Cameron’s Conservative Party conference speech contained nods to the “UKIP right” – his rhetoric on extremism, segregation, and radical Islam for instance – the majority of it could have been plucked from any Tony Blair, or indeed Bill Clinton

The rule of law is one of the most, if not the most fundamental concept in Western civilisation, and therefore in conservatism too. I am not a left-leaning, socially liberal, caution-to-the-wind type “libertarian”. I do not believe that by acting

Another media watchdog story for you today, though this time it’s not the Telegraph but Sky News telling porkie pies about the ongoing immigration debate in the United Kingdom. I’ve spent some time going over the raw data (for you) since

The short-sighted mainstream press has become very excited over the fact that the European Court of Justice has rejected a French prisoner’s claim over his right to vote. Even the very left-wing Mirror newspaper claims this is a “major boost” for
