Articles: 2009

 * If this charter for corruption is the answer, MPs are asking themselves the wrong question - 1st June 2009
 * MPs bleating. Brown and Cameron using the crisis for their own cynical ends. What none of them gets is...It's the morality stupid - There has never been anything like it. The political class is disgraced. Public fury is unassuaged. Revolution is in the air. Yet our MPs are still obdurately behaving true to discredited form - 24th May 2009
 * No wonder our MPs turned to crime. They gave up their real job long ago - As is becoming more obvious by the day, the scale of public fury aroused by the parliamentary expenses scandal exceeds anything in living memory - 18th May 2009
 * Our democracy's going down the plughole with the Home Secretary's dirty bathwater - 10th May 2009
 * Child victims SHOULD have a voice in court but the grilling of the Baby P rape girl was an unnecessary abuse - 4th May 2009
 * The BBC won’t show the Gaza appeal to protect its impartiality. But does anyone really believe it’s impartial? - What an extraordinary crisis the BBC has provoked by its decision not to broadcast an appeal by various aid agencies for humanitarian relief for Gaza - 25th January 2009
 * Arrogant, ignorant and out of his depth, is Banana Boy Miliband our worst Foreign Secretary ever? - The most startling thing about David Miliband is that he has been taken as seriously as he has for so long - 22nd January 2009
 * Sorry to be a party pooper, but I can't share this swooning Obama hysteria - Has everyone lost their marbles? The inauguration of President Obama is being treated like the Second Coming - 20th January 2009
 * No, Brown can’t save the world - but nor can his rivals. Our entire political class is bankrupt of ideas - Stop, I feel dizzy! British politics is bouncing up and down like a yo-yo. Only five minutes ago, it seems, Gordon Brown was hailed as the saviour of not just the British economy but the planet - 18th January 2009
 * Harman's latest men-bashing policy is not just odious - it turns morality inside out - Having given us class war yesterday with her ‘equality’ proposals the Minister for Women, Harriet Harman, returns today to her signature battleground of the sex war to promote yet another policy that springs from the desire to give men a bashing - 14th January 2009
 * The politics of envy and a new Labour czar gunning for the middle class - There is much excitement over the fact that former Cabinet minister Alan Milburn is being brought in from the cold by Gordon Brown to head a review of social mobility - 11th January 2009
 * Violent Gaza protests reveal how gentle civilised Britain has changed into something very ugly indeed - People who have been at the pro-and anti-Israel demonstrations in London have been producing some absolutely horrifying descriptions and images - 9th January 2009
 * Bigger prizes and bets for slot machines...how can a Labour government be so recklessly irresponsible with the lives of the poor? - If ever one needed proof that this government has ripped up the moral rule book of the original Labour movement, it is surely provided by its apparent obsession with liberalising Britain’s gambling culture - 5th January 2009
 * Yes, the war in Gaza is terrible. But the alternative was worse - for all of us - War is always terrible and to be avoided if humanly possible. War in Gaza, where Hamas terrorists are embedded within densely crowded areas, is particularly awful - 4th January 2009
