BREXIT PARTY ELECTION CANDIDACY | ISLAM & THE BRITISH WAY OF LIFE
Earlier this month I was informed that I’d been selected as The Brexit Party Prospective Parliamentary Candidate (PPC) for a constituency in Scotland. No prizes for guessing which constituency. On the day that my candidacy was to be announced I received an email from a journalist. He told me that he had seen this blog […]
BREXIT | I’M ENTERING POLITICS
I’ve Been Selected as a Brexit Party Election Candidate This post is unusual because it’s aimed specifically at people who know me personally.

BREXIT | STANDING AS A GENERAL ELECTION CANDIDATE

BREXIT | THERESA MAY MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE

His nickname is ‘Olly’ and his role is to negotiate with his fellow bureaucrats in the European Union ostensibly to extricate the UK from the EU. In fact, Olly’s heart is in […]
BREXIT IN NAME ONLY | DEATH THROES OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY

BREXIT | A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT GETS IT RIGHT (FOR A CHANGE)
