Farming wannabe and recovering broadcaster. Assistant editor, The Salisbury Review.
40 years after my first article (for the Bradford Star), I’m pursuing a dream friends & family have grown tired of me yapping about. Next month I join other farming students at the Royal Agricultural University. It’s been a joy and a privilege to end my time in broadcasting @LBC
Spending millions of £’s of taxpayers cash on an event 41 years ago is not about ‘learning lessons’ (none of the officers who policed these strikes still serve; many are dead). It’s about Labour buying off the hard-left and installing Orgreave in the canon of activist mythology.
On 18 June 1984, the violent clashes at Orgreave and the discredited evidence that followed left lasting scars on the community. This autumn, a public inquiry will begin to uncover the truth, holding those responsible to account and helping to restore confidence in policing.
It’s time to cull universities: they are factories of indoctrination and life-limiting student debt. My piece today @GBNEWS gbnews.com/opinion/univer…
Food delivery firms act as a magnet for undocumented male migrants whose e-bikes have almost come to symbolise urban decay. But the indolence of parts of the indigenous population is also at fault. If you won’t cook, you have fewer grounds for complaint. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
The Salisbury Review is a quarterly magazine founded 40 years ago by the conservative philosopher Roger Scruton. It is run by volunteers - myself included - who think ideas still matter, even in a world of online trivia. salisburyreview.com/bradford-the-u…
When George becomes King his kingdom is likely to be more fractured and internally-wriven than at any time since the 17th Century. God help him.
Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George! 🎂 📸Josh Shinner
This is quite a moment. Time was when warning the country faces ‘civil disobedience’ because of migrants would mark someone out for political oblivion. Now, such is simmering public anger, that it is more likely to enhance Nigel Farage’s bid to become PM. thesun.co.uk/news/35945350/…
Afghans who were flown to Britain as part of a secret evacuation scheme devised after a data-leak brought an average of 8 family members with them. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/1…
Last night, I went for a drink with a close family member who - unlike me - still lives in Bradford. She was in tears, describing the arc of decline traced by a once great city that became Britain’s pre-eminent laboratory for the failed policies of multiculturalism.
A principled Christian MP delivers a crie de coeur for his faith’s marginalisation in modern Britain. The empty benches all around him put me in mind of another principled Christian, the late Queen, sitting alone at Prince Phillip’s funeral; a defining image of lockdown’s lunacy.
I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.
Britain is become a cautionary tale. A 67 million people warning to the rest of the Western world on how not to handle an excess of migration and multiculturalism, identity politics and Islamism.
A scheme resettling hundreds of Afghans in the UK could see 100,000 come. The British state has a poor record of rooting out those who come seeking clemency while secretly meaning us harm. Not just terror. By nationality, Afghans top too many crime tables telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/1…
Those who do not want children must not be pressured or shamed into having them. But those who do want children must be seen for what they are; the incarnation of hope for the future, with all the financial encouragement that entails. The State can no longer be neutral on this.
Either Europe starts having large families or it will keep dying
The failed assassination of Donald Trump was a year ago today. Flawed he may be. But I still can’t escape the sense that his survival felt like a kind of deliverance.
We live in times of such crashing cowardice, cant and hypocrisy, that satire has rarely been needed more. There is no better practitioner than Rod Liddle. Here he is in this week’s Spectator, musing on coverage of 7/7.
Blair's expansion of universities has made Britain a world leader. In making it almost impossible for millions of young people to start a family. Student debt is a stunningly effective contraceptive. It's time to write-off the tuition loans of young graduates who have a child.
In Newcastle for the first time in years. A city in the process of rapid demographic change. It’s not unreasonable, xenophobic or backward-looking to ask: how has this happened so quickly; who authorised it; and where does it end?
The majority of our political class somehow contrived to commemorate 7/7 as if it were a crime without perpetrators. Like a freak weather event or act of random misfortune. Being unspecific is partly how we ended up ignoring rape gangs. Ignoring Islamism will not make it go away.
Today, we mark 20 years since the horrendous 7 July terror attacks shook our city. We remember the 52 people whose lives were cruelly stolen, and pay tribute to those who ran towards danger. London’s determination to stand together is stronger than ever.
The organs of reassurance are in full-swing to mark the 20th anniversary of 7/7. From the King to the BBC, much public talk of unity and healing between ‘communities’. But privately, millions of Britons are not so sanguine. They see a nation in the throes of dissolving itself.
