I’m a Conservative. And I’m furious.

Fourteen years of sleaze, cowardice, broken promises, and national embarrassment.

From Cameron’s arrogance to Boris’s disgrace, Truss’s delusion, and Sunak’s defeatism, this party has betrayed every principle it once stood for.

We’ve failed on immigration. Failed on housing. Failed on integrity.
Partygate, small boats, D-Day veterans abandoned, peerages for crooks — it’s not just collapse. It’s moral rot.

I’ve written the most honest, brutal takedown of the Conservative Party you’ll read anywhere.
No spin. No loyalty nonsense.
I name names. I demand consequences. I offer a way back — if anyone in the party has the guts to take it.

If Reform UK ever dared write something half as honest about themselves, I might take them seriously. But they won’t. Because they can’t.

🚨 The Conservative Party is in crisis like never before. 🚨

Insider James Price pulls back the curtain on the scandals, failures, and broken promises tearing the Tories apart—from Boris Johnson’s downfall and Kemi Badenoch’s rise, to Rishi Sunak’s inability to deliver real reform.

Stop the Boats? Immigration chaos? That’s just the surface. The truth is far darker, and the Conservatives can’t keep hiding from it.

Nigel Farage isn’t leading Reform UK – he’s holding it hostage.
Big promises, no delivery: £17 billion crime plan with no costings,

10,000 members gone in a month, and even his own supporters are turning on him.This isn’t leadership.

It’s a mascot clinging to a party that’s still just a protest vote.

Soho isn’t an office. It’s a flat white and a prayer.

This is where the real work happens now — laptops glowing, coffee steaming, no networking, no hustle culture, just quiet, caffeinated progress.

The unwritten rule? Do not talk to anyone. Ever. (I asked for a teaspoon once — I think the poor man is still running, he's somewhere near Cumbria.

In a city obsessed with glass towers and LinkedIn pep talks, this is the one corner still holding it together — silently, one flat white at a time.

Labour isn’t “modernising democracy” – it’s RIGGING it.

The Muslim-vote pandering failed. The numbers didn’t move. So now Starmer & Rayner are chasing 16-year-olds like they’re just points in a spreadsheet.

This isn’t leadership – it’s desperation. And it’s straight out of the Democrats’ anti-Trump playbook: rewrite the rules, demonise the opponent, call it “saving democracy.”

It didn’t work in America. It won’t work here. Farage will thank them for it.

This was supposed to be a quiet weekend.

A hotel in Waterloo. A night that turned into panic, bruises, and 20 minutes of sleep.

Then I sat in a TV chair and threw out the script — live on air.

Raw. Emotional. The wildest 24 hours of my life.

“You are the most repulsive person I’ve ever spoken to in British politics.”

When a Glastonbury performer shouted “Death to the IDF,” the UK didn’t reckon with what it meant — it retreated into performance, tribalism, and silence.

This wasn’t a mistake. It was the system working as designed.

Outrage is now virtue. Noise is now meaning. And truth? Optional.

My latest piece — first published by Wolves of Westminster — tackles the hypocrisy, the collapse of responsibility, and why nothing changes.

We used to throw bricks. Now we applaud sandwiches.

Pride was born in protest. It stood for struggle, dignity, and defiance.

Now? It’s sponsored by gin companies, fronted by banks, and ends with an award for visibility.

This isn’t a takedown—it’s a challenge.7

To the movement. To the community. To myself.
If Pride is going to mean something again, we don’t need more glitter.

We need courage. We need standards.

📣 INTERVIEW DROP: Peter C. Barnes on politics, power, and the pointlessness of lazy thinking.

I sat down with Hinton for a candid interview on the state of British politics — from the myths of centrism to the circus of culture wars.

🗣️ “We’re not governed by ideology anymore — just vibes, polls, and whatever makes it to the 6 o’clock news.”

🗣️ “The left is moralistic, the right is performative, and both are allergic to accountability.”

🙏 Thanks to Hinton for the chat — sharp questions, sharper editing.

Strategist, presenter, operator — he’s moved through the machinery of Westminster and emerged with his sharpness intact. At TalkTV, he’s the youngest face on the roster, but don’t mistake that for naivety. Whether he’s dismantling lazy narratives on Breaking Embargo, skewering orthodoxy on...

🎭 Waiting for Starmer: A Matinee Government in a Failing State

“Britain isn’t falling. It’s fading.”

From Starmer’s welfare collapse and Britain’s silence on Gaza and Ukraine, to Reform UK’s chaotic rise — June proved we’re being governed by theatre, not leadership.

🔥 “Parliament meets, but it no longer matters.”
🔥 “The Assisted Su***de Bill passed with a shrug. That should terrify us.”
🔥 “The curtain hasn’t fallen. But it’s twitching.”

This is my first piece as a guest contributor to Wolves of Westminster — a fiercely independent political commentary site doing what few others will.

I’ll be writing with them regularly — monthly roundups, sharp analysis, and the sort of takes that should make you uncomfortable.
