Bernard Ingham: The EU will blink first if we hold our nerve on Brexit – here’s why
FELLOW Brexiteers, be not alarmed about your fate. This is par for the EU course as we approach the last tee of Brexit. → Read More
Bernard Ingham: Given the Brexit mess, referenda, I trust, are like Monty Python’s parrot: deceased.
HOW on earth did we get ourselves into this mess? The short answer is we didn’t. David Cameron and his Old Etonians did. He asked the nation in a referendum whether we wanted to stay in the EU or leave it to try to unify his party. → Read More

Bernard Ingham: A definition of good sense in this world of nincompoops
AT last I have discovered my value to the nation. That troubadour of stage, screen and radio, Gyles Brandreth, reports that a Devon publisher has compiled a list of 600 English words that have either gone out of fashion or are fading fast. I am doing my best to keep them alive. → Read More
Bernard Ingham: All our troubles will still come from Europe if we don’t get Brexit right

Bernard Ingham: Brexit is the inevitable consequence of ignorning Margaret Thatcher’s speech at Bruges 30 years ago
IF you want to know where Brexit came from, go to Bruges in Belgium. There, 30 years ago this month, Margaret Thatcher bluntly told the European Community it was going wrong. → Read More
Bernard Ingham: If Commonwealth took on apartheid, why not Assad?
Kingdoms, courts and cats all perish, they say. So do empires. Indeed, General Glubb Pasha, commander of the Arab Legion, claimed that the past 3,000 years show that they last on average only 250 years. → Read More
Bernard Ingham: Festive cheer at Kremlin, but not for our Marxists
WHAT do you think the Russian security services – and that means principally Vladimir Putin – are doing this Christmas? Are they rubbing their hands with glee or moaning like Billy? → Read More
'Democracy's at risk from a lethal weapon
In his admirably frank memoirs, our former Prime Minister Gordon Brown says: “The lady’s not for tweeting but I should have been.” Oh no, he should not. Just think of President Donald Trump’s provocative habit. → Read More
Bernard Ingham: It may not be as she likes it, but it'll be a tragedy if the PM goes

BORIS Johnson, with his vision of post-Brexit Britain, has chucked a grenade not just into the Government but also into the Labour Party, in this conference season, writes Bernard Ingham. → Read More
Bernard Ingham: There’s an epidemic of greed in a nation that needs leadership
A VISITOR from outer space would readily identify Britain’s serious current deficiency. It is leadership. It is missing everywhere – in local and national politics, industry and commerce, the universities, the NHS, the BBC, the police and, of course, football. → Read More
Bernard Ingham: Theresa May, this is your chance to shine
It is good to be alive. The EU continues to demand the Crown Jewels for our having the cheek to want to leave its clutches and its negotiator, Michel Barnier, wants to teach us a lesson for our temerity. → Read More
Bernard Ingham: There's far too much hot air about global warming
I don't want to worry you, but we are living in a fool’s paradise. If you think life is going to carry on more or less as now, you could be in for an almighty shock. → Read More

THIS is confession time: As a member for 20 years until I joined the Civil Service, I am ashamed of what the Labour Party has become. → Read More
