    I have ADHD

    ByClarke Roberts 25th September 202525th September 2025

    Yesterday, after months of wondering and years of overthinking, I received news that’s left me feeling… well, a bit confused.

    I have ADHD.

    Labour’s U-turns aren’t the problem. They’re the symptom.

    ByClarke Roberts 29th June 202529th June 2025

    To say it’s been a rocky few weeks for Keir Starmer’s Labour government would be, at best, incredibly generous — and at worst, a gross simplification. In fairness, it’s probably more accurate to say that Labour’s first year in government has been far from what Starmer and his team might have imagined and hoped for…

    I genuinely think this could be the last election under our current system

    ByClarke Roberts 8th June 20248th June 2024

    Change. It’s a funny concept when it comes to politics, isn’t it? One of the questions in last night’s seven-way leaders’ debate on the BBC was all about politicians making promises they never keep once in office. It’s one of the tropes that plagues British politics – in fact, all politics probably. The common belief is that nothing ever really changes apart from the man or woman at the top. But this time feels different. I genuinely think this election could be the last fought under our current electoral system.

    Sunak goes to the country, and not a moment too soon – but the result ain’t a foregone conclusion.

    ByClarke Roberts 22nd May 202422nd May 2024

    He finally did it. Sunak succumbed to the reality that, unlike the D:Ream song that blared in the background throughout his announcement this afternoon, things really aren’t going to get much better than they are right now.

    There’s only one choice this year

    ByClarke Roberts 6th January 20246th January 2024

    This year is an election year. We now know this for certain, as Rishi Sunak confirmed as much in an interview the BBC on Thursday 4 January. Exactly when the election will take place is still yet to be seen, despite Sunak’s unconvincing line that his working assumption is that it will be in the second half of the year. With an election on the horizon, we are presented with an opportunity to choose. And for my money, there’s only one clear choice.
