How bizarre that the keystone of a supposedly conservative budget is a plan to help women abandon their children and go out to work. Anti-family socialists and dogmatic hard-line feminists – often the same people – have long sought to turn women into wage-slaves.The old Communist East Germany managed to cram 90 per cent of its women into factories and offices in the 1980s, and counted it a great triumph. Some modern feminists admire this to this day.For them, the only good life is the life of paid work. The only ‘working women’ are those who work outside the home.…

Gary Lineker’s history of outspoken comments stretches years, but the furore surrounding his recent likening of an asylum policy to Nazi Germany may have reached new heights.The Match of the Day host was forced by the BBC to ‘step back’ from the flagshiup sports show, sparking a row that engulfed the corporation’s sport department and hit its scheduled programming hard.After being taken off air by the Beeb for several days, the organisation was later forced into a humiliating step back as one of its biggest names, aided and abetted by colleagues and pundits, refused to back down.It has now announced…

Section 4 of the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines – on the importance of impartiality – leaves little to the imagination.  ‘The BBC is committed to achieving due impartiality in all its output,’ it reads, adding that the principle is ‘fundamental to our reputation, our values and the trust of audiences’. Yet it appears the news hasn’t yet reached Gary Lineker, whose comments comparing Suella Braverman’s clampdown on Channel migrants to Nazi Germany is just the latest in a long list of divisive political interventions.The football pundit, who is currently locked in a £4.9m tax battle with HMRC, regularly lectures his 8.7million Twitter followers on…

The Home Secretary put it best herself. Britain has been ‘taken for a ride’ by illegal migration. For too long, our woeful asylum system has been cynically exploited — and the public has had enough.As Suella Braverman presented the Government’s new Illegal Immigration Bill to the Commons yesterday, and as Rishi Sunak briefed its details to the press last night, I finally sensed a turning point.Braverman rightly told MPs our asylum system is not ‘fit for purpose’. Thousands of migrants are committing ‘flagrant’ breaches of the law as they land on our shores in small boats.For years, politicians have promised…

Plans to tackle the Channel migrants crisis today ran into opposition from the Whitehall establishment ‘Blob’.The Government is preparing a major immigration bill to deliver on Rishi Sunak’s pledge to ‘stop the boats’.But it has been attacked by senior civil service figures even before details have even been unveiled.A former mandarin said it was ‘highly doubtful’ the proposals would lead to a fall in crossings. Charities also criticised the plans.The new legislation is expected to strengthen measures that allow asylum applications to be declared ‘inadmissible’. A group of migrants are brought in to Dover on a Border Force vessel today…

Rishi Sunak warned Tory hardliners tonight that failing to back his Brexit deal could see the party take a massive hammering at the next election.The Prime Minister faced his MPs tonight and told them failing to settle the long-running saga over Northern Ireland would mean ‘voters will begin to doubt our ability to deliver’ any political change.After a trip to Northern Ireland this morning, the PM ran the gauntlet of his own MPs at a meeting of the backbench 1922 committee.He received the traditional rousing welcome of banging on desks as he entered the private session deep in the House…

Carol Vorderman has taken yet another swipe at Michelle Mone and her businessman husband as the bitter feud between the former friends rumbles on. Vorderman has repeatedly attacked the Tory peer over claims she and her billionaire husband Doug Barrowman made £200million after ‘aggressively lobbying’ for a government PPE contract during the pandemic. In her latest salvo, the former Countdown star shared a newspaper story about Monthly Advance Loans (MAL), a company linked to Mr Barrowman that is charging borrowers up to 92% APR on small loans, according to the Sunday Post. Tweeting the article last night, Vorderman wrote: ‘MICHELLE MONE’S HUSBAND A new…
