Esther Rantzen was utterly unique... the entire nation will miss her energy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was typical of Esther Rantzen’s fighting spirit that she should use her terminal illness, not as a cue for self-pity but as a platform for one last heroic campaign. She went out in the style that had characterized her life: determined, compassionate, energetic and infused with a sense of mission. Having announced in January 2023 that she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, she devoted her final years to her crusade for the legalisation of assisted dying in this country. As she faced her
'Labour's claims of poverty are a myth designed to snatch your cash' (opens the original)

As the Chancellor John Healey prepares for his Budget at the end of October, there is a continual barrage of grim warnings about the toughness of his task. Only yesterday it was revealed that the Government had to borrow £18.5billion in August, up a fifth from the total in the same month last year. Against an economic backdrop of sluggish growth and soaring debts, Healey is said to be facing a hellish choice between spending cuts and tax increases to balance the books. But such arguments are bas
'Burnham's UN speech reeked of hypocrisy – people like him damage UK' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If in doubt, blame the Russians. That seems to be the strategy of Britain’s rulers as they try to evade responsibility for the colossal damage caused by their policies. This week, in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the Prime Minister savagely condemned the “insidious campaign” by the Kremlin to undermine Britain, using “poisonous disinformation” and manipulative online propaganda. Russia is undoubtedly a serious threat to western democracy. As the cruel war in Ukra
'Heading for repeat of 1976 crisis - but Andy Burnham clinging to failed creed' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Margaret Thatcher once said: “The problem with socialism is that you always run out of other people’s money.” That is the scenario Andy Burnham’s Labour Government now faces. As reported this week, inflation is now 3.1%. Our national debt is more than £3trillion, which means the Treasury is now spending more than £100billion-a-year on interest payments alone, while the state’s borrowing costs are among the highest in the world and the bond markets are increasingly jittery. Their nerves are becom
'Andy Burnham's condescending complacency over Piddington will haunt him' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The idyllic Oxfordshire village of Piddington is an unlikely hotbed of political rebellion. But this week residents heroically defied Britain’s arrogant and blinkered ruling class by voting overwhelmingly to secede from the United Kingdom if the Labour Government presses ahead with plans to open a huge asylum hostel with a capacity for 1,250 migrants – more than four times the population of the village. Secession will not happen. The Piddington referendum has no legal status. It has, however, tr
