The death of left-wing punk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Want to be anti-establishment? Then don’t be progressive. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. Punk’s appeal has long existed beyond music. It’s always been about the lifestyle and the mood that goes with it: it’s always been about deliberate transgression, about saying and doing whatever respectable society tells us is beyond the pale. It’s always been about rebellion. However, rebellion will always be relative. Early punks were leftists, in the main, because the establish
Why Labour’s puritans hate the disposable barbecue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Associated with meaty, boozy, spontaneous fun, it represents everything our political elites disdain. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter.

The images of tens of thousands of migrants crossing into Ceuta have understandably shocked much of Europe. It’s hard not to feel sorry for both the locals and the clearly desperate people breaking across the border from Morocco into the Spanish exclave. We’ve seen some pretty harrowing footage, too, of exhausted families and frightened
Too ‘triggered’ to run the country? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Natalie Fleet's resignation shows how therapy culture has eroded our leaders’ sense of duty. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. Though Presidents Xi and Putin might be slightly ambivalent about what is, in the grand scheme of things, a bit of a small ministerial role, imagine the briefing crossing the desks in Beijing or Moscow: Britain’s safeguarding minister has just resigned because, in her words, the job was too ‘triggering’, as Natalie Fleet did this week. They would
