    The death of left-wing punk (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Associated with meaty, boozy, spontaneous fun, it represents everything our political elites disdain. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. Disposable barbecues, of all things, have found themselves in the firing line after Andy Burnham’s government temporarily banned their sale over wildfire fears. Fair enough, you might think.

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Hundreds of thousands of existing buildings are being allowed to fall into disrepair. Want unlimited, ad-free access? Become a spiked supporter. Let me open with an obvious point: Britain doesn’t have enough homes for its ever-growing population. Houses are in such demand that prices remain completely detached from average wages across most of the country; young adults are postponing family formation; and plenty of 20- and 30-year-olds are forced to live a sort of forever adolescence as they sta

    How ‘progressive’ empathy fuelled the Ceuta crisis (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Emotions have overwhelmed rational concerns about immigration and national integrity for far too long. 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)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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.
