It’s countdown to Corbyn. We shall not be kept waiting for long before we find ourselves living – if “living” is the right word here – under the most extreme left wing government Britain has ever seen. Corbyn’s plans make Michael Foot’s 1983 manifesto – called at the time “the longest suicide note in history” – read like a discussion paper produced by The Monday … [Read on]
If Corbyn wins the next election – it might come sooner than you think if Theresa May bungles the Bombardier crisis and the DUP pulls the rug from under her feet – we will have Corbyn and his rent controls. As the Adam Smith Institute reminds us. ‘Putting a price ceiling on any product below the market rate causes shortages: … [Read on]

Meanwhile in Holland, the second largest party has said the same. Even the most cursory examination of social trends in the European nations helps explain this antipathy. Brussels has become the jihadist capital of Europe, a city where … [Read on]
You would not normally expect pointed social commentary in cartoon form in the Bahraini English-language daily newspaper, but I was pleasantly surprised to find precisely such a cartoon when, on a recent visit to that small kingdom, I opened the newspaper (the Gulf Daily News).
