I am old enough to remember when President Trump promised to end this war on day 1. Sadly, rather than deliver on that promise he is instead misleading the world and the American people about what is happening. TRUMP: "[Zelensky] is always looking to purchase missiles. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles." 1. Patriots are not missiles, they are air DEFENSE systems. Why does Ukraine want air defense systems? Because Russia keeps slaughtering civilians with its missiles as it did in Sumy over the weekend killing 34 people and injuring over 100 on their way to church to mark Palm Sunday. 2. Zelensky didn't start the war. Putin did. 3. On this occasion, Zelensky hasn't asked to be given missiles, he has asked to buy them. We are, no doubt, going to be told that this is The Art of the Deal to get Zelensky to work for peace. The problem with this is that putting more pressure on Ukraine will not produce peace since Ukraine has already agreed to a ceasefire. The obstacle to peace is the side which hasn't: Russia. Secretary Rubio was right when he said when announcing the ceasefire negotiations that once Ukraine accepted a ceasefire proposal we would know "where the obstacle to peace is". We do. And the way to peace is to put pressure on Putin instead of criticising Zelensky for doing everything in his power to stop Ukrainian churchgoers from being blown up by Russian missiles. For some reason, instead of following through on his threats to apply further sanctions to Russia get *them* to the negotiating table, we are fed this nonsense instead. I worry that rather than playing some sort of 4D chess, President Trump has met his match when it comes to these negotiations, as his truly "special" envoy who knows nothing about the region, the conflict or, indeed, anything else of relevance to these negotiations is playing into Putin's hands.

Some people criticise me for calling it the Woke Right but I genuinely don't understand how they don't see it. The woke left claimed that America, one of the most racially tolerant countries in the world, was the most racist country ever. The woke right claims America, one of the best governed countries in the world, treats its citizens worse than any other. It is true that there are racists in America and it is true that America has problems when it comes to living up to its ideals on things like free speech. But this is just victimhood for clicks and it's frankly pathetic, unpatriotic and silly.

What if the west isn't the villain they told you it was? We’ve spent years accepting accusations about racism, intolerance, and slavery without challenging the bigger historical reality: The societies most condemned today are also the ones that led the world in ending slavery, expanding rights, and building the most tolerant nations on earth. That’s the conversation nobody wants to have.

Calling everyone you disagree with “far right” has destroyed the meaning of the term. I’m sick of seeing serious labels abused to smear ordinary people with legitimate concerns. In 2015, before Brexit, over 50% of the country was concerned about immigration. Does that make half the country “far right”? Throwing these labels around is reckless, dishonest, and damaging to public debate.

Strong allies are an asset. Since when did that become controversial? America should put America first. Europe should put Europe first. But the idea that America benefits from a weak, dependent, culturally insecure Europe is absurd. A strong Europe isn't just one that spends more on military defence. It's one that defends free speech, secures its borders, has the confidence to preserve the values that made the West worth defending in the first place, and doesn’t sabotage its own future with unrealistic net zero policies that hollow out its industry while competitors race ahead. There's no point being offended when Americans criticise us: when they're wrong, they're wrong and should be ignored and when they're right, they're right and we should change course accordingly.

The world is not a safe space. The liberal world order didn’t survive because everyone agreed with it. It survived because the West was strong enough to defend it. Meanwhile, the Europeans are busy debating whether free speech is too offensive while China, Russia and the rest of the world are playing for power. Weakness is not a virtue. It’s an invitation.

You can ignore reality, but you can’t ignore the consequences of ignoring reality. One of the biggest mistakes we’ve made in the West is treating immigration as a question of virtue instead of a question of governance. Of course our country can help people fleeing genuine persecution. But not against the wishes of its citizens! That isn’t extremism. It’s reality.

Every civilisation in history accepted slavery as normal. That's a fact. The British Empire was no different. What made it very different is that it then decided to abolish slavery and push others to follow, at great human, financial and political cost. So here’s the question: If one day we decide eating animals is morally equivalent to slavery, wouldn't we celebrate the first society to stop the practice instead of condemning that society as "evil"?

Victimhood has become a moral currency. We’ve built a culture that ranks people by oppression, then mistakes that ranking for understanding. But people aren’t categories. They’re individuals. And once you lose that, you stop seeing what actually drives success and better outcomes in the real world and instead promote mediocrity and grievance-mongering.

The world after Western dominance won’t be neutral. It will belong to someone else. The “multipolar world” is being sold as the end of Western hypocrisy and the solution to the failures of the current order. But power never disappears, it shifts. And an unstable multipolar world will eventually produce a new dominant civilisation, with its own values imposed on everyone else. The real question is: are those values better than ours? I don't think so.

Every ‘equal society’ in history ended the same way: with force. You cannot redistribute productivity without coercion. That’s the part radical socialism never admits. The more 'equality' you want, the more authoritarian it must become to enforce it.

Multiculturalism has failed. Even the politicians who pursued it now admit it. That's because diversity is not a strength, unity is. The solution to the failure of multiculturalism is monoculturalism, where all citizens subscribe to a shared national identity which is more important than their individual differences.

My speech at the Oxford Union is finally available. The debate was "This House Believes Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far". As promised, I didn't hold back 🤣

The faster you learn this lesson Jordan Peterson taught me, the better your life gets. Your reputation is your real wealth. Doing things that are hard or scary isn’t about being morally superior. It’s about understanding the cost of avoiding them. Like karma in a video game, your actions compound and shape how life responds to you. And the most reliable store of success is still the regard other people have for you. The fastest way to build that is to genuinely do things that help others.

Utopia is not the standard. Reality is. Every civilisation has sins if you judge it by today’s moral standards. You can build an entire career doing nothing but listing them. That is easy. The harder question and the only one that matters is this: compared to actual, existing alternatives, who has done better? I am not claiming the West is perfect. It is not. No society is. But if you are honest about measurable progress on rights, equality, and self-correction, it is still ahead of every other major system in the world today. So stop asking "is it perfect?" That is a childish question. Ask: "compared to what?"
