When Did Normal Politics Become Far Right?
The term “far right” is increasingly used to describe political positions that were considered ordinary, and held by people across the political spectrum, until relatively recently. Its overuse has blurred the line between normal democratic disagreement and genuine extremism, making the label less precise, less credible and less useful. When did it become far right…

When Government Decides What We Should Hear
The UK government is currently consulting on plans, set out in the Watch This Space green paper, media literacy strategy and a linked evidence review, that would give “trusted” and public service sources greater prominence on platforms and search results. Backers call it protecting people from misinformation. Critics call it a quiet way to shape which voices…

William Clouston and the SDP – Is This Real Politics?
I watched an interview recently between Andrew Gold and William Clouston – the leader of the SDP – and it was a rare moment of actual clarity in a political scene that usually feels like a race to the bottom. Despite Andrew’s clickbait video title and thumbnail, I’m pleased I listened. Clouston talks about a…

The British State Has Become the Enemy of the People
I’ve just finished watching Rupert Lowe’s latest sit-down, and frankly, it’s a bloody disgrace that we’ve let things get this far. Lowe is one of the few people in that God-forsaken building in Westminster actually telling the truth: the British state has become a parasitic tumour on the back of the hard-working public. This video…

Tough But Fair? Britain’s Cost of Living Reality
Britain is being sold a story about “tough but fair” governance while millions watch their living standards collapse in real time. Inflation may have technically cooled, but food, energy and housing costs have locked in at punishing levels that feel permanent. Meanwhile, a government focused on climate targets, migration policy and centralised control appears tone-deaf…

Are New Companies House Rules A Trap For Directors?
If you’re a company director in the UK and you’ve been ignoring those emails from Companies House about identity verification, it’s time to stop. As of 18 November 2025, every director and Person with Significant Control (PSC) must verify their identity using biometric data – and the consequences of non-compliance aren’t just annoying, they’re potentially…

They’ll Tell You VAT Isn’t Rising. They’re Lying.
In Summary: UPDATE: This didn’t happen (yet) but I’ll leave this here as a reminder of what could still happen one day when Rachel Reeves (or a future holder of the red briefcase) fumbles with the budget calculator. The November 2025 budget could see the VAT registration threshold slashed from £90,000 to around £30,000, forcing…

Politics and the Circus That Never Ends
Party manifestos are rolled out every election with bold declarations about tax cuts, public spending, and cleaning up government. Anyone with a few elections under their belt has learned to treat these glossy brochures as the opening bid in a negotiation, not an actual blueprint for governance. The Manifesto Mirage: What’s Actually Delivered? According to…
