  • Our productivity is a problem to be solved by the slackers in the workforce

    There are few things politicians seem to like more than hard work, but it might be laziness to get us out of our rut.

  • Can the Conservatives ever win back London?

    John oxley

    The Conservatives hung onto a leafy, traditionally blue seat with less than 500 votes, if they can’t convince the suburbs of London, can they ever win its heart? John Oxley on the Tories’ London problem.

  • Spreadsheet Sunak won’t win an election if he can’t meet his own scorecards

    John oxley

    From stopping the boats to driving down inflation and cutting NHS waiting lists, Sunak has failed to meet his own targets and voters won’t keep believing him writes John Oxley

  • The UK should care about workers who emigrate to avoid a painful brain drain

    June 1, 2023

    Our government worries so much about immigration, and yet doesn't consider how many Brits might be thinking about leaving our shores. It could lead to a dangerous brain drain, writes John Oxley

  • I’m a celebrity, get me to City Hall! Our stars should take a pop at local politics

    May 4, 2023

    With Sadiq Khan faring quite badly, and the Tory brand rubbished in London, perhaps a celebrity should give City Hall a shot and run for the London Mayoralty next year, writes John Oxley

The Prime Minister would return to the Commons with 364 MPs backing him and his oven-ready Brexit deal.  He had vanquished his own party rivals, outplayed a divided Commons, [...]

  • DEBATE: Is a virtual office Christmas party a disastrous idea?

    December 4, 2020

    Is a virtual office Christmas party a disastrous idea? John Oxley, a Conservative commentator, says YES. The only thing worse than enforced fun is enforced virtual fun. Real office parties are barely enjoyable. Spending an evening with colleagues you are largely indifferent to is an obligation you endure, because if you don’t they put “Poor [...]

  • What next for one-term President Donald Trump?

    November 11, 2020

    There perhaps nothing that will hurt Donald Trump more than being a one-term wonder.  Politics is a cruel game, there is no second place, and falling short is both brutal and public. For a man with an ego that the world has come to know, the last six weeks as a caretaker President will rankle. [...]

  • How the Democrats threw away their shot to topple Trumpism

    November 4, 2020

    The US election has not delivered the Joe Biden landslide that many were anticipating.  Instead, the Democratic candidate appears to be limping towards a narrow Electoral College victory, which may well end up in the courts.  Even if The Donald is beaten, he is hardly vanquished, and the Democrats also look like they’ve failed to [...]
