As of June 2020, I’m a columnist at The Sunday Times, so you can read me on British politics every week. Before that, as Director of the Centre for Policy Studies, I was writing regularly for a wide variety of publications. There’s no central repository but if you’re interested best to Google my name plus 'Politico', 'Telegraph', 'Times' etc for my author pages on those sites. There’s also quite a lot of articles from my time as Editor of CapX (which I still oversee with my CPS hat on, but can’t write for quite so much).

Before all that, however, I had a longish career as a journalist. Here’s a selection of pieces that may be of interest.

Long Reads

The A&E crisis – a special report (Telegraph)
This is probably the piece I'm proudest of: I spent a week on the front line of an NHS hospital in Birmingham, just as the fault lines within the health service cracked open. I spent 10,000 words trying to explain what's gone wrong, and how we can fix it.

The 'gay cure' experiments that were written out of history (Mosaic)
I could have written a book on this - and in fact, was offered a contract to do so when it came out. The astonishing story of Robert Heath, the Emperor of the Electrodes, and his attempts to cure homosexuality (and much much more) via direct brain stimulation.
