The ITV Reform Exposé Makes Me Ask: Who Gets to Decide Where I Belong?

As sickening footage of prejudice hits the headlines, and as a British-born multicultural human, I wonder what happens when politicians try to unravel the fabric of the place we call home

If you’ve seen the news yesterday and today, you’ll know about the undercover ITV investigation into Reform UK. Elected councillors, candidates, and party activists caught on camera spouting blatant racism, misogyny, and Islamophobia. Dehumanising slurs. Calls for violence and expelling even legal immigrant citizens. Describing communities as “parasites.”

Paris Motor Show 2026: Can These Concepts Save Europe’s Car Industry?

What if Europe’s greatest weapon against China is not battery technology or lower prices? What if it is the ability to make people fall in love with cars?

Paris Motor Show 2026 feels like the beginning of Europe’s great automotive fightback. Then again, it could also be the automotive equivalent of rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. For the first time in years, a major motor show made me stop, stare and actually say: “Whoa, that is pretty cool.” Paris was overflowing with outrageous concepts, evocative names and European manufacturers that appeared to be rediscovering their personalities.

Amitabh Bachchan’s coolest movie cars!

Here’s a run down of the best motors featured with Big B on screen (originally published 15/08/20)

Now in the 80s and 90s I used to watch a LOT of Bollywood movies – not so much now, as frankly, they were better back then. Technically the newer movies are brilliant, but they can’t match the 70s/80s/90s for stories, script and acting, particularly when it came to Amitabh Bachchan.

Used EV Bargains Save Tens of Thousands on an Electric Car

Heavy EV depreciation can create spectacular used-car bargains, including the BMW i4 M50 from around £28,000

With petrol and diesel costs climbing, you may be wondering whether it is finally time to switch to an electric car. For drivers who can charge cheaply at home, the sums can be compelling. Anyone taking their first tentative steps into electric motoring can also avoid one of the biggest financial risks by letting the original owner absorb the steepest depreciation.

Fuel Prices Soaring: Should You Change Your Car to Save Money?

With diesel passing £2 a litre, swapping into something more economical sounds like an obvious money-saver. Before spending thousands to cut your fuel bill, work out whether the savings will ever recover the cost of changing cars with our Exclusive Calculator!

Diesel has reached £2 a litre. Filling a 55-litre tank now costs around £110. At this rate, the petrol station should be offering finance, counselling and a free vomit bag. Faced with a bill like that, the obvious thought is that you need a more economical car. Some drivers could save more than £1,000 a year by changing cars. Others could spend £5,000 to save £300 annually and still be waiting to recover the difference sixteen years later. Before panic-buying a replacement, you need to ask a more useful question: will changing your car actually leave you better off?

The Last Few Driver’s Cars Still Left on the Planet!

The last drivers cars left on the planet

The last proper driver’s cars still sold new worldwide in 2026 are getting fewer and fewer in number by the month – here’s what’s still out there.

Three pedals. A proper gearlever. An engine that responds directly to you, rather than semi-conductors trying to figure out what you desire. If you want a brand-new performance car with a manual gearbox, your window of opportunity is closing fast. Britain and Europe have already lost the Toyota GR86 and Honda Civic Type R. The current Toyota GR Supra has reached the end of the road, while several other great manual cars appear to be living on borrowed time.

Why 1960s James Bond Would Be Cancelled Today

Would Sean Connery’s 007 survive modern cinema? We analyse 1960s Bond tropes, modern hero flaws, and how to write a grounded secret agent today.

If Sean Connery’s James Bond walked into a modern cinema today in a brand-new release… what would actually happen? Would audiences swoon at the effortless charm, the tailored Savile Row suit, and the Walther PPK? Or would they recoil at a man who routinely uses physical coercion, exhibits ice-cold sociopathic detachment, and treats women with blatant predatory contempt? In short: Would a 1960s Bond be cancelled today?
