What was the reason you gave up watching the BBC’s Late Review (or Newsnight Review as it then became) or the BBC Review Show as it now is? For me it was the regular guest called Ekow Eshun. He used to spout such unutterable drivel with such fluent and uninterruptable conviction that it made me [...]

Last week Ed Miliband stood up at the Progress annual conference and delivered what was easily the worst speech of his leadership. Indeed, in the view of several commentators, one of the worst speeches ever delivered by a major British political leader. It was rambling, incoherent and devoid of even the most basic intellectual consistency. [...]

My Sunday Telegraph column: “There was a bit of banter which went too far,”said a Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council employee last week. What was the banter?

Tom has written a blog of despair at the reluctance of the public to accept the evidence of statistical surveys when determining what to believe. Ironically, his evidence for this comes from a statistical survey. Only 9 per cent of the sample declared themselves swayed by such data. To such sceptics I’d offer half a [...]

From Saturday’s Daily Telegraph The results of the 2011 Census, published last year, were pretty devastating for Christianity, indicating that it will be a minority religion in Britain by 2018. This week we were given a more detailed breakdown of the figures. I took one look at them and thought: OMG. That’s short for “Oh [...]

Nigel Farage has been discovering the hard way that politics in Scotland is often a rough business. He put the phone down on the BBC Good Morning Scotland programme on Friday morning, believing the reporter’s line of questioning displayed the xenophobia that had led to him being barricaded in an Edinburgh pub just around the [...]

It takes a considerable effort to cut through the fog of claim and counterclaim by Europhiles and Eurosceptics to get a clear view of just what is now happening in the House of Commons over the question of whether and when we should have a referendum on the issues (and I use the plural deliberately) [...]
