By Steven George-Hilley More than 800 athletes from around the world have suspicious blood-test results, which are at best highly unusual, at worst evidence of widespread doping, according to leaked data obtained by The Sunday Times. The not-fit-for-purpose IAAF should be ashamed, and clean and honourable athletes like our Jessica Ennis-Hill (pictured) are right to be outraged. So now we […]
Cast your mind back 40 years, if you can, to a completely different political time. Shortly after becoming Conservative Leader Margaret Thatcher urged party conference to: “Go out and join in the work of your Union. Go to its meetings, and stay to the end. Learn the Union’s rules as well as the Far Left know them.” Three years ago […]
By Steven George-Hilley The Sun’s footage of a 7 year old Princess Elizabeth, apparently being taught the ‘Nazi Salute’ by her uncle, was filmed at an age when she could have no knowledge of the meaning of her actions. The headline, “Their Royal Heilnesses” is one of the nastiest pieces of insinuation ever published against the monarchy. At 89 years […]

He is the Leader of Fine Gael in the European Parliament and was appointed to this role by An Taoiseach Enda Kenny on August 4th, 2014. Q. How did the election of President Rouhani facilitate […]
If I were a Labour voter, I would be worried. Worried that it is unclear what we even stand for anymore. Worried that we no longer have a safety blanket of fifty Scottish MPs, worried that our once safe seats in the North are becoming Ukip hotspots. Worried that maybe we’re not tough enuss. But more than anything else, worried […]
It goes without saying that the North East is a Labour stronghold, and it has been this way for as long as anyone can remember. Up north the party is very much a religion; it is respected, celebrated and adored… but never questioned. Due to this of this it has become apparent over the years that the North East electorate […]
With Greece having thrown down the gauntlet to its creditors at the tail end of last week, the stage is set for a default on their IMF debts. Whether they default on payments due to other creditors remains to be seen, and whether or not they will remain a part of the Euro is also unclear. Indeed, a departure from the […]
Buried among the videos of being abused by his audience, Russell Brand’s speech at Saturday’s anti-austerity protests contained a bizarre quote. During a diatribe about out-of-touch elites, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star practically boasted: “I am personally a product of the welfare state, not least because I signed on for eight years while I learned to be a comedian, so […]
Today’s Israel is a vibrant, cosmopolitan and forward-thinking democracy. As the forces of Islamic extremism wreak havoc on its neighbours, Israel deserves, and needs, our support. Two weeks ago, dozens of rainbow flags fluttered along Tel Aviv’s spectacular sea front. On 12 June, over 100,000 people gathered in the city to celebrate Asia’s largest gay pride event. It would be […]
In 2004 the Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah declared “If Jews all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide.” Gaza based Hamas soon went on to suggest homosexuality should be punishable by death. Not a particularly nice bunch, eh? You’d think that. Unless of course you were the veteran Labour MP for Islington […]
