Inside Britain’s two-tier justice system
It might not induce quite the same moral nausea as the Pakistani rape gangs cover-up, but the ongoing sentencing guidelines scandal is another hard-hitting episode in a promising new series in which public disgust is suddenly and belatedly directed towards …
Reform is coming for Dagenham
The best place to watch the drama of Britain’s fastest changing postcode is next to Rainham’s 12th-century Norman church. At quarter past six, a tube-carriage haul of glum commuters is dumped at the station, where Essex meets the London sprawl. …
Why Starmer shouldn’t trust Trump
“Everything has changed,” Keir Starmer warned us only a few weeks ago, noting how Donald Trump’s re-election is reordering the globe. And yet somehow, even after “Liberation Day”, everything in Britain has stayed the same. Austerity is back, just with …
The invasion of America’s cringe academics
Many of us born post-1945 have wondered at some point how we might deal with an approaching fascist threat. Luckily, we have three preeminent American scholars of fascism to help advise us. And the answer from Professors Jason Stanley, Timothy …
Why the MAGA-DOGE coalition will hold
As we approach the 100th day of the second Trump administration, the apparent division between MAGA populism and DOGE libertarianism remains one of the major stories of this new era. The MAGA firebrand Steve Bannon and the DOGE impresario Elon …
Welcome to the age of Otaku

The conservatism of Sylvanian Families
What does a feral dachshund have to do with a famous lioness? In Born Free, Joy Adamson told the story of Elsa, an orphaned lion cub, whom she raised and eventually returned to the wild as an adult. Just recently, …
Surrey cokeheads are lining up chaos
Some ex-detectives get an allotment. Liam investigates barbershops. He isn’t a policeman anymore, but old habits apparently die hard. For eight years, he worked undercover, posing as a junkie to score 20 quid deals of crack and heroin. The baggies …

With Marine Le Pen’s conviction for embezzlement on Monday, France has become the latest country to have a national political campaign take a detour into the law courts. In the USA, the first phase of last year’s presidential election centred …
Daniel Defoe: the original Anglofuturist
He noticed, first, the neatness, the way sails and cannons and half pikes all had their own set place. The timberyards and mastyards did too, guarded by watchmen and storekeepers, each in “the utmost hurry” yet unerring in his work. …
