Imaginary UK Government (Patriots’ Edition)
A tongue-in-cheek “Patriots’ Cabinet” and 100-day plan: borders made credible, energy made affordable, NHS backlogs blitzed, planning and red tape reset, and free-speech protected. It’s a thought experiment and a provocation—what might a delivery-first government look like if we stopped playing to the SW1 gallery?

OPINION: The Myth of a Peaceful Trade Bloc: How the EU Became a Power-Hungry Beast
The EU began as a promising trade bloc but morphed into a power-hungry bureaucracy that eroded national sovereignty. While the UK’s decision to leave was right, political betrayal undermined Brexit. Now, we must stay vigilant against both EU overreach and a political class willing to ignore the people’s voice.
Balancing Belief and Freedom: Rethinking the Equality Act 2010
The Equality Act 2010 seeks to protect against discrimination, but does it go too far in shielding religion from critique?
