Lost In Space (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Little Wes Streeting had a trainwreck interview with Nick Ferrari on LBC on Wednesday. He had turned up to trumpet the creation of the UK’s third Space Squadron but was unable to recall the cost. As the interview ended, Ferrari returned to it, suggesting a figure of £7.8 billion, which Streeting said sounded about right. He then, absurdly, asked Ferrari why he had asked the question if he already had the answer and launched a self-justifying w
Reserve Judgement on The Thin Grey Line (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t think that I’m one of the veterans in the bracket that the MOD intends to bring back into the reserves, as I passed 60 a while ago. That said, with this government’s propensity to backdate legislation and trample on convention, I might yet be as an officer’s obligation to serve is lifelong. In any case I swore an oath to the late Queen and that explicitly extended to her heirs and successors; if King Charles requires me to take up arms and defend his Realm that is what I shall do.

Spend Wisely Nigel! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Reform has just raised £72 million, an astonishing amount of money (in British political terms, at least).

But if that existed or worked, surely the UK (or any other country) would not need a foreign policy, let alone a government organisation to administer it. We would simply follow the rules and processes set out in RBIO. Occasionally we might opine on some rule or other, but national diplomacy and foreign
Losing Touch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are sometimes days when I wonder if leaving Reform was the right thing to do. Then some Reform idiocy reminds me that leaving was the right decision. Last week’s events mean that I will no longer be asking myself that question.The Reform conference was the first one that I haven’t been to – I spoke on the idiocy of net zero at the first one, in Manchester, with about 300 attendees. Since then it has pretty much doubled in size every year. Until last year, it was pretty chilled, leadership
