The British working class are politically homeless. Their traditional party, founded by the trade unions, has turned its back on the people who built this country, and without whom it could not operate. In its place have emerged a string of opportunists claiming to be the voice of the average punter, but whose credentials just […]

As Corbyn-Sultana tensions explode into the public arena, a new group is mobilising members to demand a ‘genuine say’ in the new party's direction
This month’s Reform UK conference held in Birmingham revealed the bizarre nature of the party’s inner workings and policy message. From the surprise appearance of Lucy Connolly to Andrea Jenkyn’s Eurovision main character moment, the conference seemed more like a fever dream than an event led by a supposed government in waiting. Yet nothing was […]

The purported strength of New Classical macroeconomics lies in its firm anchorage in preference-based microeconomics, particularly the decisions made by inter-temporal utility-maximising, ‘forward-looking’ individuals. To some, however, this strength has come at too high a price. The quasi-religious insistence that macroeconomics must have microfoundations — without providing ontological or epistemological justification for this requirement — […]

I really like free speech. I love it, some might say. I love how I get to say anything I want and it’s totally fine, no problem. I don’t like when you do that though. I only like when I do it, or when people do it in a way I told them to do it. That’s when I really like free speech. In fact, I like free speech so much that I’ve decided it’s just mine now—not yours.
I like so many things about free speech. I like that my friends on TV can say they want to kill homeless people and then keep showing up for work like nothing happened.

The FCC has long held that “the public interest is best served by permitting free expression of views.” But given recent events, we recognize there may be some confusion about what is actually allowed. We have added these guidelines for late-night hosts and other members of the traitorous left-wing media.

Everyone says that this new crop of American Nazis is really mean, but I, a white journalist, went out to talk to them for this profile, and they were actually really nice. I mean, sure, when I first met George Nathan Bedford Forrest Wallace on his compound, I was a little thrown off by his swastika hat, Confederate-flag T-shirt, and his pants, which had a crossed-out trans flag on each leg. All those hateful clothes made him seem a little mean.
But when he opened the front door of his bunker for me, and I thought, See, this is a guy with manners. He knows how to treat a lady.
His wife, Davida “Duke” Wallace, was also very nice. She introduced me to her knitting circle, which was six pleasant middle-aged ladies who were just sitting down for sweet tea and cake before they went back to their latest group knitting project. I was a little nervous when I saw that they were knitting a very large blanket that read GO BACK TO AFRICA, but they also served me a scrumptious lemon cake with raspberry filling. They even gave me the recipe.
