Tom Batten / News / 20 October 2023 / England, Opinion

It seems the Torys can’t help themselves. Given their catastrophic loss in popularity over the last few years, restoring public faith in the floundering party would take nothing short of a miracle.

Remembering the Ukraine

Simon Crane / News / 16 October 2023 / England, Opinion

Public support for our ongoing involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has waned. The people of this nation are war-weary; given the current financial climate, priorities are elsewhere.

Dave Gardner / News / 15 October 2023 / England, Opinion, Scotland

We have seen every excuse under the sun for why we can’t ever remove any foreign national from our nation. No matter what the crime.

The future is ours for the taking (AGM speech 2023)

Ant Burrows / Activism / 30 September 2023 / Community Politics, Opinion

I’m deeply sceptical of those who say there is no political solution, especially as they almost never tell you what theirs is.

India has become the first nation to land on the moon’s south pole successfully. Until now, only China, Russia and the USA have touched down an earth satellite.
