Trump is Abandoning Social Conservatives

In recent months, Trump has blamed social conservatives for Republicans’ weak performance in the 2022 midterm elections. Why should they continue to support him?

Britain Poised to Unite the Right?

Farage has officially gone public with his intention to re-enter the fray. Whatever else might be said about him, his track record of leading insurgencies is second to none.

DEMOCRACY WATCH
The EU’s War on Democracy in Europe

It might seem a stretch for the EU to claim to be defending democracy by denying the right of sovereign nations to decide their own policies. But in Brussels doublespeak, ‘democracy’ can now mean its opposite.

Renewing Foundations

Those of us who believe that England was built on Christian foundations must look at the current situation with a ruthless honesty. With faith and hope, yes, but certainly not with optimism.

The America Report: Biden, Ukraine, and Diversion Politics

There is a practice in the affairs of government as old as government itself: diversion politics. When a political leader is under scrutiny for missteps or failed leadership, it is a good time to create a distraction.

Believe in Believers

Those of us committed to fighting back against the ‘woke’ must come to terms with the fact that only Christianity is potent enough to defeat the cult of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Non-believers need not convert, but it is time for us to get out of the way.

Putin and the End of History

Putin and the End of History

What Putin has seen is this collapse of courage in the West, an inability to protect itself from external existential threats and a peculiar, weak slavishness to liberal culture, whilst it erodes the values of traditional societies.

Farmers Fighting the Green Revolution

Farmers Fighting the Green Revolution

For the last seventy years, agricultural policy in Europe and elsewhere has been driving efficiency and increased production, much to the detriment of societal and environmental health. But not all the blame rests on the shoulders of the technocrats. They weren’t the ones who started the revolution that made Spanish farmer Artero cry.

The Tories are the First Turkeys to Vote for Christmas

The Tories are the First Turkeys to Vote for Christmas

Truss was ridiculed for wearing furs in Moscow during a thaw. It’s an apt metaphor for her—no matter the weather, she’ll wear furs to Moscow because Thatcher did, and no matter the economic forecast, she’ll cut taxes because Thatcher did.

Sweden: No More Christian Schools

Sweden: No More Christian Schools

The Swedish government is aiming to put a blanket ban in place where there will be no new schools of any faith. This restriction is reminiscent of the educational oppression that Christians face in Cuba, Libya, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia.

The Race to Replace Boris: Destined for a War of Policy-Wonks?

Liz Truss should be able to build up enough support from MPs to carry her, beyond Mordaunt, into second place.

The English are Demoralised

The English are Demoralised

At every turn the British people vote for parties and provisions which purport to stand in their interests. But no referenda or election halts the displacement and radical deconstruction of our culture.

The Race to Replace Boris: All To Play For

The Race to Replace Boris: All To Play For

Bringing Europe’s Rural Villages Back to Life

Bringing Europe’s Rural Villages Back to Life

As lovely as it is to see far-flung hamlets of stone houses reinhabited, it is also sometimes difficult to find in their tenuous revival a genuine re-founding of the traditional Europe of which they were originally a part.

Tax Cartel Targets Hungary

Tax Cartel Targets Hungary

Let us call a spade a spade: ending the tax treaty with Hungary is an act of punishment by Washington. If a country refuses to play by their rules, the U.S. administration will exclude, sanction, banish, and publicly flog the incalcitrant nation.

U.S. Supreme Court Decision on Abortion:
An Inspiring Verdict That Deserves Rational Attention

We are alarmed by the interference into the domestic politics of our democratic ally, as well as the anti-democratic excesses of EU politicians who continue to divide our society and question fundamental rights and freedoms.

Ten Principles of Conservative Activism

Remember, you are not trying to establish an environment of tolerance and mutual-understanding. Like Isabella and Ferdinand, you are trying to recover the territory. Treat the new Left like people who hate you, because they do.
