As I wrote recently for Insight, only a fool would deny that there is a lingering anti-Semitism problem on the extreme fringe of the right. That’s something the centre-right must confront if it’s to provide a safe space for Jews fleeing the left. And they are

Even in the death throes of their fibs, still the lying goes on, and on, just as a fly dying in a trap manages a defiant buzz or three. Bzzzzzzzz, writes Glenn McConnell on Stuff yesterday morning, bzzzzzzzz, it wasn’t a bribe: “baseless claims”, bzzzzzzzz, “false allegations”. “As part

It seems to have escaped the notice of Ayesha Verrall that Labour has lost the election. She has been throwing a paddy, stamping her feet and huffing on about changes to smoking legislation. As a result of her hyperbolic ranting, she has made a very, very bold claim: that decisions
