A compelling example here of how quickly arguments against compulsory voting descend into arguments against democracy: "we don't want those people voting, they'll just vote for goodies for themselves"

What on earth?

I remain amazed some would rather gamble everything than impose a 10% tax on death.

In 2023 the right forced NatWest, owner of Coutts, to apologise for closing Farage's account. Its chief executive, Dame Alison Rose, had to resign. Given what we know know about Farage, she should ask for her job back Piece from me

When I look at the title of the substack article below I can't help but hear the XTC hit, "Making Plans For Nigel". If only there was a talented, musical family who could satirise it into "Writing Cheques For Nigel"... @marshfamilysongs.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/nick...

Rishi Sunak - clearly a talented and hard-working man - went from brand-new backbencher to former prime minister in nine years. At the same stage in Margaret Thatcher's career, she was Shadow Minister for Fuel and Power. And we wonder why our leaders struggle in the job...

Don't you get it? Hitler started in a beer hall too!

Never understood why commentators who vociferously profess to care about Israel's safety have failed to see how damaging Netanyahu's strategy is.
