‘The intifada has come to London’ | Lorin Bell-Cross on the Golders Green attack
2026/03/23
Four ambulances run by a Jewish community group in London’s Golders Green were set on fire in the early hours of Monday morning. Iran-linked terrorists have claimed responsibility.

‘I tried to save them’ | Grooming-gangs whistleblower Maggie Oliver
2026/03/19
Victims of the grooming gangs are being let down – again. The UK’s Labour government is stalling a public inquiry into the industrial-scale abuse of Britain’s working class girls by mainly Pakistani Muslim men. Speaking to spiked’s Georgina Mumford, former police constable Maggie Oliver – who blew the whistle on the Rochdale child-abuse ring – reveals how these crimes were covered up by the authorities, and how the victims were neglected, blamed and even criminalised. She is currently suing the UK government over its failures to protect young girls.  Buy Maggie’s book, Survivors: One Brave Detective's Battle to Expose the Rochdale Child Abuse Scandal here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Survivors-Detectives-Battle-Rochdale-Scandal/dp/1789460859  For more information about Maggie’s work, visit her charity, the Maggie Oliver Foundation: https://www.themaggieoliverfoundation.com/ Get tickets for the spiked summit – a brand-new flagship live event bringing spiked’s writers and high-profile friends together for a day of bold debate, live Q&As and on-stage exchanges in Westminster, London.

Why Ed Miliband – not Iran – is to blame for the UK’s energy crisis | David Turver
2026/03/14
As the Iran War sends oil and gas prices spiralling, Labour’s Ed Miliband has doubled down on his Net Zero zealotry. Switching from fossil fuels to renewables, the UK energy minister claims, will drive costs down, reduce volatility and protect British consumers from external shocks. Here, David Turver – energy analyst and author of the Eigen Values Substack – demolishes Miliband’s green-energy delusions. Labour’s crusade against fossil fuels, Turver says, has proven far more damaging than the war in Iran. Britain has been lumbered with an energy system that is needlessly expensive, overly reliant on imports and that carries the risks of widespread blackouts.

‘Islamists will exploit Labour’s “Islamophobia” ban’ | UK terror tsar Jonathan Hall
2026/03/11
Jonathan Hall KC – the UK government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation – warns that Labour’s new definition of ‘anti-Muslim hostility’ is not fit for purpose. Here he tells spiked’s Georgina Mumford that it will not only fail in its aim of tackling prejudice against Muslims – it will also censor vital discussion on Islamism, terrorism and immigration, potentially emboldening religious hardliners and extremists.

‘The woke Foreign Office doesn’t stand for Britain’ | Ameer Kotecha
2026/03/10
On the day Kabul fell to the Taliban, UK Foreign Office diplomats were invited to take part in a panel discussion on World Afro Day. As the Iran War broke out, and a British air base in Cyprus came under attack from Hezbollah, the civil-service intranet was urging mandarins to ‘take charge of their development’. Such woke excesses and HR distractions are merely the tip of the iceberg, according to former diplomat Ameer Kotecha. Here, he explains why he quit the Foreign Office, how it fails to put Britain’s national interest first, and how foreign policy is being swayed by sectarian voting blocs.

‘Gorton and Denton was a nightmare for Labour’ | James Johnson
2026/02/27
What does the Gorton and Denton by-election spell for the future of British politics? Top pollster James Johnson – co-founder of JL Partners – spoke to spiked’s Georgina Mumford to pore over the results. Labour is crumbling in its heartlands. The Greens are riding sectarian grievance to victory. Reform has been humbled in Greater Manchester, but remains strong across the country. The old politics is gone and it isn’t coming back.

Japan’s iron lady? | Philip Patrick
2026/02/24
Sanae Takaichi is hailed by supporters as Japan’s ‘rockstar’ prime minister and derided by critics as a far-right ultra-nationalist. What everyone agrees is that her recent landslide snap-election victory is a revolutionary moment in Japanese politics. Here, Philip Patrick – journalist and lecturer at Tokyo’s Sophia University – talks to spiked’s Georgina Mumford about Takaichi’s radical plans for immigration and the economy, her hawkishness towards China, and what Western leaders might learn from her stunning electoral success.

Low level bad faith conversation
The level of conversation is unfortunately pretty low - a lot of bad faith interpretations, hysteria and catastrophizing - Fox News-ish and shallow.
