Very proud to have my first article published in the Spectator today! Even more pleased that I get to talk about why the Bible is still essential for understanding our political and cultural life

Tweet card media

Why the West still needs the Bible

If you look to our schools and universities, you will not see a serious engagement with the Bible as part of the study of politics, of philosophy, or even of literature and culture more generally,...

Student Loans are intended to be a 30-year tax on graduates. The farcical RPI uplift is just to make it near-impossible to pay them off earlier. A way of hiding the fact a young grad on £30k is paying a 42% tax rate, while an older pensioner on £50k is paying 20%.

CPI will be the bigger story today, but this means the interest rate on student loans is now 14%. My total loans are £60k+, which means that's £700 in interest accrued just this month. That's more than I paid off last tax year despite holding down a decent job.

I do not share the view that this war shows Putin to be an irrational actor. He planned a war last summer, initiated the build-up in November and pulled the trigger in February. It shows that he is willing to take huge risks and incur massive costs to recast the map of Europe.

Lucy Letby’s crimes were heinous. One of her victims was a baby born at just 23 weeks. It’s worth noting that ending the life of a 23-week-old baby in the womb is legal in this country via abortion. At 23 weeks the baby is able to feel pain and to survive outside of the womb.

So Corbyn threatened a Vote of No Confidence, pulled it two hrs later, tabled a fake vote of no confidence, threatened to upgrade it to a real one, then backed down again. All in one day. Have I missed anything out?😂😂😂

Having read Paradise Lost I've always been baffled by how morally shallow Pullman's take is. Satan in Paradise Lost is charismatic and brash, but he's also consumed by self-obssessed bitterness, and desires only to hurt others in revenge for his own pathetic failure.

Well, it's 8th March and I think the current data does make the Govt's position clearly absurd. But I may be a minority. Full Lockdown is an extreme policy that can only be justified in the most serious conditions. 22+ million vaccinations mean those conditions no longer exist.

@BethMooreLPM This is very true. Anyone anathematising 'Critical Race Theory' needs to be very specific about what exactly that means. The prophets are very clear that justice must exist at the level of entire societies, or they will be accursed by God.

A 30 year old graduate on £30k will now face a 42.25% tax rate. A 70 year old graduate on £50k will face a 20% tax rate. This is to pay for the health and social care needs of the elderly.

When real, 'adult', 'serious' academics are threatening to deprive hundreds of students of their educations because of a statue is perhaps the point at which we maybe acknowledge that the culture war isn't just some figment of the right-wing imagination

Inspired by my Grandma, I've decided to vote Lib Dem. I disagree with a number of their policies, but I don't feel I can vote for either Labour or the Conservatives. So they're the alternative.

Spoke to my 93 year old Grandma last weekend. Lifelong Labour voter, said she's "voting liberal" (as she still calls it) because she doesn't trust Corbyn or Boris. Utterly sound.

Distracted by Covid, the West whistled by as Azerbaijan launched a war of aggression against the Armenians. They're now erasing historic Armenian artifacts to destroy evidence of the Armenian presence in the region.

As I predicted in November, Azerbaijan is moving now to polish out medieval Armenian inscriptions on captured churches. Earlier today, Dr. Ilham Aliyev (yup, the man who wiped out 28,000 medieval monuments in Nakhichevan has a PhD in history!), proclaimed the inscriptions “fake”

The term 'Judeo-Christian' was invented in the 1930s as a deliberate attempt to include Jews and Judaism in the shared community of the West at a time of rising Anti-Semitism.

I have a theory that large-scale charitable giving, tithing and more, is an artifact of historic Christian culture that will decline steadily.

This is an astonishing cock-up. The narrative around Scottish Independence in Jan-Mar 2021 was based on a polling error! Comres forgot to weight their polls and so were overstating Nationalist support.

Well well, this is quite a significant correction. Three months' worth of independence polling from Savanta/ComRes came out unweighted instead of weighted. Actual support for independence was lower than quoted.

The South-West is a region of 5 million people and 9,000 sq miles. They now have 260 confirmed cases of Covid and 6 deaths a day. For this, 5 million people are to be imprisoned in their homes for another month, and prevented from sitting with family for 2 months.
