The West London Free School Trust received some good news this morning. Our proposal to open a new primary school in Earls Court has been approved by the Department for Education, one of 102 free school proposal given the green light today. If you add that to the new primary were opening in September and [...]David Cameron is having a total shocker

I like David Cameron. Anyone who has read anything I have written in the last four or five years might be astonished to see me write that. There was the signing up to Brownonomics, the failure to win the election, the coalition and the calamitous mismanagement of his party. This morning he was still at [...]Seventeen-year-olds are too young to die for their country

In Britain, 17-year-olds are deemed to be too young to drive a car, buy a drink in the pub, or place a bet. They are too young to vote, nor are they deemed sufficiently adult toenter intocivil contracts. Yet, as we have learned today,it seems that in certain circumstances they are deemed to be old [...]David Cameron’s polished charm conceals political concessions, and weakness

David Cameron has been on the wireless this morning. Three thoughts: 1. Mr Cameron has offered Westminster a gentle reminder that whatever his limitation as either political strategist or tactician, hes really a very good media spokesman. Its hard to think of anyone else in the game today who could offer such polish and self-assurance [...]Congratulations, gay marriage campaigners – you have completely destroyed the meaning of social progress

I know the only thing youre allowed to say about gay marriage is Yay! and that if you say anything else youre a weirdo hateful bigot. But permit to make just one non-yay-based observation about it. Which is this: gay marriage has utterly transformed, for the worse, the meaning of social progress. Throughout modern history, [...]David Cameron has shown why he will fight the next election as Tory leader, and why he will probably win

David Cameron has just completed an interview on the Today programme in which he demonstrated why despite the swivel-eyed lunacy of the past week he is likely to still be Prime Minister after 2015. He was proud, he said, of his decision to push forward with gay marriage. Young gay boys (and girls) [...]The EU talks of limiting tax avoidance, but its true agenda is tax harmonisation

In a few hours time, MEPs will divide on a motion that was supposed to be about deterring aggressive tax avoidance, but is really about tax harmonisation. The British Governments reasonable proposals for better exchange of information on what multi-nationals are paying proposals that were supposed to be global rather than European in their [...]House prices quadrupled during the typical mortgage term

House prices quadupled during the last quarter century and soared by more than 60pc in real terms after inflation is taken into account. No wonder bricks and mortar remain the biggest asset owned by many members of my generation. But home ownership has fallen by almost a tenth since it peaked more than a decade [...]
