What Is The Truth About Boris Johnson In Intensive Care
The rumours started a week after Boris Johnson went into self-isolation in the top floor flat of No 11 Downing Street. The story, spread by the PM and his ministers, had so far been convincing.

The Plot That Killed Governor William Goebel
"Politics have never been this divided," people declare about the current state of American politics. Bipartisanship does seem to be a thing of the past, as both parties dig their heels in on certain issues. However, one needs only to look at the 1899 Governor's race in Kentucky to see how bad it could be.

Life is a Carnival
About two years ago I started writing a series of connected pieces meant to describe the fall of Trump. Two years, that’s a long fall. Still, he’s far from fallen. People have to train themselves, try hard NOT to think or talk about him.

Former Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, Sir Keir Starmer emerged as the victor in the Labour Leadership Contest, defeating Rebecca Long-Bailey and Lisa Nandy. Starmer replaces the former leader, Jeremy Corbyn who proved to be rather controversial for his far left ideology, branded by his supporters as 'Corbynism'. However, Starmer aims to bring the party in a more soft-left direction.

Stop Abbott
If there is no such thing as bad publicity then can someone please explain the glaring exception to the rule - Abbott. Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott is the human embodiment of the Labour Party's missteps. If ever an MP rolls their eyes, expect to see Abbott giving a nonsensical rant about ten subjects at once. Abbott is the political version of turning up to PE at secondary school and for some reason the substitute geography teacher is in charge. You know that they were hired in the first place, they must know something. So why are they hunched in the corner of the gym, fumbling to find their words, whilst being pummelled by basketballs?

Reason First: Stop Joe Biden Before it’s Too Late
This is serious. Former Vice President Joe Biden’s verbal slip ups are not gaffes. They are signs of a man unfit for being the leader of the semi-free world. His mind is too cluttered with nonsense that he has no clue as to what he is saying. Over the past few years, pundits have quipped and late night show hosts have jabbed at Biden’s inability to complete a sentence or worse. He attempts to form a coherent string of words but like an old car low on fuel sputters to an awkward, grinding halt.
