BRIAN READE: 'Farage's only selling point - I'll drag us back to 1930s' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE 1980s Boudica once famously defined critics who accused her of running Britain into the ground as “moaning minnies”. So let’s hope that Margaret Thatcher is spinning in hell, sorry in her grave, as she hears incessant whines from those who once idolised her about how her country has gone to the dogs. The Right’s default position has become a hatred of all things good about Britain such as its rule of law, tolerance, free healthcare, strong communal spirit and creative talent. Nigel Farage ’s
'Unless you're born into wealth, the only way isn't up' (opens the original)

I’ve always felt a strong connection to the people in ITV’s long-running documentary series Seven Up! When it began, in 1964, they were seven and I was six. We’ve grown up together, had setbacks, successes, families, and lost friends and loved ones. The curtain comes down on Wednesday as they reach 70, and it feels emotional and sobering. It’s emotional because we’ve all become old in the blink of an eye, and sobering because the show’s aim back in 1964 was to gauge the rigidity of the British c
'Andy Burnham set fire to Thatcherism and Brexit – I punched the air in delight' (opens the original)

Call me a nerdy sad sack but I get most of my laughs these days from opening right-wing newspapers. The gags are unintentional but often belters.

Even though Larry the Downing Street cat is a bigger, and far more accomplished, political beast. Then there was the appointment of Andrew Griffiths as shadow chancellor, which they hailed as “astute” despite Griffiths

BRIAN READE: 'Moaning MPs are pocketing a fortune from fame - voters deserve a promise' - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Restore leader Rupert Lowe is the latest wealthy right-wing politician to play a familiar card. Not the race one, the benefits one or the patriotic one – although he’s a card shark at all three – but the martyr one. As in, I only chose to become a political messiah who leads his followers out of the broken-bordered wilderness, for love not for money. “If I wanted to make money I would not be in politics,” he harrumphed after a newspaper revealed he was on course to earn as much from posting an
