During PMQS this week Shadow Minister Tom Watson executed a sick dab in Parliament sending shockwaves through the chamber and the country. It is believed the dab comes as part of an attempt to make Labour more appealing to young people. Which has been sorely missing since the days of Blair who’s penchant for war …
Emma Goldman, also known during her lifetime as “the most dangerous woman in America” – a pretty cool epithet if you ask me – is a key figure in the history of anarchism, particularly in the United States. Born in the Russian Empire in 1869, Goldman emigrated to the United States at the age of …
Since hijacking office and testing the patience of the US last Friday Trump has now signed yet another audacious Executive Order which will see a wall also built across the Canadian border in order to cut off escape routes for Americans to flee the country. The White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer assured the media, …
A new song by Father John Misty dropped on the 23rd of January. ‘Pure Comedy’ – also the title of an upcoming album – has attracted a lot of attention in few days since, with its odd and beguiling video currently trending 7th top on YouTube. Once you’ve heard it, this will come as …
On Thursday, President Donald Trump authorised a military strike on a Syrian government base, with the firing of 59 Tomahawk missiles from US naval boats in the Mediterranean Sea marking the official entry of the United States into yet another quite likely intractable war with a Middle Eastern state. The response of the American mainstream … Continue reading
John Lydon, the once-rebellious ex-singer of the once-subversive punk band the Sex Pistols, appeared on the breakfast show Good Morning Britain on Monday.

John Gallagher, an IT consultant from Livingston, has brazenly declared to his work colleagues that if Scotland goes independent he is “out of here pal!”. He made the empty promise shortly after Nicola Sturgeon, first minister of Scotland, announced her commitment to a second Scottish Independence referendum following the UK’s vote to leave the EU … Continue reading
As I write this, my fifteen-year-old and somewhat curmudgeonly cat Marlon is perched comfortably on my lap, purring loudly and contentedly. Yet even in this moment of relative relaxation he retains an alert poise; I know that if I were to move too suddenly, or accidentally stroke him in a discomfiting way, he would be … Continue reading
Ordinary people from every corner of the country flocked to ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair’s comeback speech last Friday morning at Bloomberg in London. Though a diverse bunch, the gathered crowd were united in their fervent admiration for Blair’s inspiring political vision, as well as in their awe of the Blair government’s monumental and era-defining accomplishments. … Continue reading
I’ve not got many specific aspirations in life, but one thing I’d love to do is go on Desert Island Discs, the Radio 4 show on which you get to have your eight favourite pieces of music become the basis of an amiable conversation with Kirsty Young. Other people aside, music is the thing in … Continue reading
In the summer of 2016, myself and a few friends spent a month travelling around Mexico, beginning in the Yucatán Peninsula and making our way towards Mexico City. Our point of arrival and departure for the trip was the airport in Cancún, meaning we spent a couple of nights at the beginning and end of … Continue reading
The train clattered along the track, steaming towards Pyongyang. We had chosen this rather cumbersome journey to the nation’s capital under good reason. Air Koryo (the nation’s only airline) had a notoriously bad safety record. It was one of the few airlines banned from operating within the European Union, and recent sanctions made spare parts … Continue reading
When it was suggested that I write about the January transfer window the obvious approach was to do some sort of top 10 list or best/worst signing list. I have chosen to avoid this and instead focus on two teams who I believe have made the most of the January transfer window. As a result … Continue reading
Already White House Chief Strategist and Senior Counsellor to President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon’s recent appointment to the United States National Security Council cements his position as one of the most powerful people on Earth.
