“Politics will lead you down many paths, but a conservative and a patriot will never be far from the Bow Group. Against the tide of globalism, liberalism, and Marxism the Bow Group stands resolute.

“It is my honour to accept the role of Senior Patron of the Bow Group, one of the very few conservative institutions that has been there throughout my life, and is ever renewing its commitment to conservatism…rather than demuring from it.”

Sir Bill Cash MP, Bow Group Senior Patron

Crisis, crisis, oh the humanity, it's unprecedented I tell you, the roof is caving in, urgent care is broken...actually none of this is true. The NHS is doing its job as a state monopsony, reducing spending to the absolute minimum as defined by outrage that...
The government has waivered on letting EU nationals stay after we leave the European Union. Many believe they should stay on the basis they were already here and this is sound except for one small issue: many will not have been paying health insurance while...
