  • Westminster Week: Open season

    Wednesday

    The Prime Minister brings out Tommy Robinson as if he’s a Punch. The question is where’s the Judy?

    The Leader of the Opposition says the Prime Minister is a “weak man” and a “strong woman” should lead his party. A few would think that’s a good idea…

    Thursday

    Mike Kane MP (Wythenshawe and Sale East/Labour) chooses to blame “English law, through the City of London” for high levels of international development debt. If the shoe fits.

  • Win: Margot Frank

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, it’s believed Margot Frank – elder sister of famed Jewish WW2 diarist Anne Frank – has been recovered in London.

    A reported sighting of Margot Frank, elder sister of Anne, at the alleged age of 99 years.

    Her sighting is recorded at Paddington Station, a multi-network transport hub. It’s believed Frank has been able to live in London and travel Europe in safety since rescue from a Nazi camp.

  • The Prince Harry buzz is fading

    After a while, the star appeal around certain individuals begins to wane.

    It’s because we get to know their ins and outs, their wiles and foes, and their ups and downs.

    The truth is Prince Harry has shown enough of this by far.

    The serious work of a statesman-like Royal is afoot if anything is going to be meaningful – and make sense.

    The fallout of a charity row hasn’t dented his repute – but may lower expectations for any collaborations that are to come.

    His forward mission is his own.

  • A lack of identity is a religious problem

    The societal breakdown caused by some criminals is not helped by a confusion in peopling churches that evangelicals have.

    In America, and increasingly here, there’s a growth zone for unidentifiable religion, and likewise, for those without ID who turn up without justification.

    The possibilities for the crooked are endless, but this is how our malaise sets in. The lack of clarity – even in a normal year – tells us a lot is amiss we cannot understand.

    There is no greater sign that the UK needs to reign itself in than the sprawling yet amateur enthusiasm for community-centred new expressions in religion.

    It’s not likely, but some criminals even find their home in it. However, it’s more of a neighbourhood in which to live than find a permanent place for our adversaries.
