Speaking in Lisbon on Tuesday, Frost said that in upcoming talks the UK would be calling for a light-touch scheme which allowed British traders to freely move goods to Northern Ireland. “We know we are getting the Commission proposals tomorrow,” he stated, adding that he thought the EU’s suggestions were …

Britain’s on-screen portrayals of race have always been loaded. Be it the abject brown-faced cretinism of Spike Milligan or the creepy sexualised coonery of Little Britain, representations of minorities on film and TV have typically reflected the nation’s eternal neuroses and mediocrity. But while in the past such depictions were …

Now I would never begrudge anyone a nice holiday, especially after the past 18 months, but should the PM really be sunning himself in Marbella on the Costa del Sol when the country could be on the brink of another ‘winter of discontent’? There can be no doubt that the …

Read More »Three things lie behind Britain’s cultish obsession with James Bond: nostalgia for Empire, its national insecurity, and xenophobia
Why does the Bond cult endure? Why does 007 remain iconic despite an ageing Daniel Craig looking a bit like Lord of the Ring’s freak Gollum, all huge head and short legs – dig it? – or perhaps like a Prince Charles-visaged teddy bear, not to mention ‘No Time To …

Poor old ‘Uncle’ Jim Callaghan was castigated – and paid a heavy political price – for Britain’s relatively short ‘Winter of Discontent’ in 1979, yet Boris Johnson’s premiership has been calamitous almost from the day he was gifted a large parliamentary majority by the voting public in order to ‘Get …
