'Starmer's EU sell-out is Gordon Brown's gold scandal on steroids'

3 weeks ago | telegraph.co.uk | Allister Heath

What happens when you put an eternally optimistic ex-Cabinet minister in a room with the interviewer he calls the 'declinist'? I've visited plenty of poky parliamentary offices in my time, some little larger than cubby holes and designed without any interest in ergonomics. Jeremy Hunt's digs are something else. They are palatial, as befits a former holder of two of the greatest offices of state, and a runner-up in the contest to become Tory leader.
Starmer has brought Labour to the brink of extinction. This makes him even more dangerous

Every stupid idea in the collectivist arsenal - wealth taxes, the revaluation of council tax bands to hammer expensive homes, a cap on pension pots, the removal of pension tax relief, a war on Isas, steeper inheritance tax - is bound to make a comeback to fill his self-inflicted fiscal black hole. The "rich" will be asked to pay more for water and broadband via "social tariffs". Ed Miliband will be emboldened in his rush to net zero, minus the occasional tactical delay.
Nigel Farage is on course to be PM. This is what the establishment will do to destroy him

Britain has crossed the Rubicon. Nigel Farage is no longer the leader of a protest party. At the age of 61, he has graduated to being prime minister-in-waiting. His announcements are setting the agenda. He is ahead in the polls. He is winning by-elections. He controls his party with an iron fist. He boasts a huge following on social media.

Desperate Starmer is in retreat, and scorching everything in his wake

Like a retreating horde of marauders determined to bequeath a wasteland to the liberators, Labour is resorting to the vilest of scorched earth tactics. The more his popularity collapses, the less Sir Keir Starmer has to lose, and the more dangerous he becomes in his desperation to force through progressive shibboleths. His Government’s frenetic intensity is terrifying.

Our deluded elites are still lying to us about the mass migration disaster

1 month ago | yahoo.com | Allister Heath

For thirty years, at every election, Labour and the Conservatives pledged to reduce immigration, and then did the opposite. Far from feeling any contrition, let alone apologising, many of these politicians, convinced of their superior morality and grasp of economics, seemed proud to defy a “bigoted” electorate. This was the foundational lie at the heart of modern politics, an unforgivable breach of trust.
I was wrong before. Only net zero immigration can now save Britain

The world is a powder keg waiting to explode

Progress, what progress? On the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the world is edging ever closer to another apocalyptic conflagration, with India-Pakistan the latest terrifying escalation. Pax Americana has been shattered, never to return, and with it the delusions of Western modernity. In eerie parallels to the 1930s, rogue actors are initiating a series of interlinked conflicts around the world that, thanks to a web of alliances, risk joining up into one hideous global war.
