The short explanation for why I’ve launched a Substack is I’m bored of spending each day waiting for dinner. I’m hoping this will be a welcome distraction.
The slightly longer explanation is that there’s a need for political commentary and analysis that cuts through the braindead, ideologically driven rubbish we’re constantly having shoved down our throats. I can provide that imo (and my opinion is always the correct one, as you will learn).
This is where I’ll post longer-form content that (hopefully) won’t fall into the traps of tribalism and hysteria that characterise social media debate. If you want shorter, punchier (/more demented) quick takes, follow me on twitter (X) and Instagram.
About me
I’m a lawyer, with a background in political analysis. I set up and am the host of the E2 Review Podcast, a popular political show (you can check that out here). I’ve previously worked as an associate fellow at a British think tank, where I specialised in socio-cultural and political trends.
Back in the day, I read social and political sciences at Cambridge University. It was during this period that I truly came to appreciate how cult-like and low-level so much of what passes as Very Serious Progressive Thought actually is. I graduated with a first class degree, taking modules covering topics such as ‘critical theory’, ‘power structures in education’, ‘radical politics’… in other words, I can legitimately claim to have mastered the dogma that has since come to dominate our cultural life in the form of ‘Wokeness’. I became fluent in its idiocies and half-truths, so I’m pretty well placed to push back against them.
I’m not religious, but I am a Jew (yeah, yeah, ‘that doesn’t make sense!’ - it does - I’ll write a blog on it. But if you’re impatient, just ask almost any Jew what I mean). I’m also a wildly unappreciated sporting and musical genius (no debate), and live in London with my wife and two beautiful kids.

What to expect
I’ll be putting out articles as and when I can. No schedule as yet.
More posts coming soon. Obviously.
Thank you for the information that you share on here. I'm a pro-Israel supporter. I pray for Israel, and their safety every day.
