Allister Heath

“Politics still matters, as does leadership, vision and statecraft. By sheer will-power, Boris Johnson and his advisers have delivered a radically better deal for Britain, forcing the EU's technocratic juggernaut into a screeching u-turn. It can't be done, we were told, ad nauseam, and yet Johnson delivered, proving that he is, in fact, a statesman.”

Recorded in: Our time in the EU was a calamity for Britain and a disaster for Europe", The Telegraph (9 December 2020).
“This was the best Budget I have ever heard a British Chancellor deliver, by a massive margin. The tax cuts were so huge and bold, the language so extraordinary, that at times, listening to Kwasi Kwarteng, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, that I hadn’t been transported to a distant land that actually believed in the economics of Milton Friedman and FA Hayek. But Liz Truss and Kwarteng are very much for real, and in revolutionary mood.”

Recorded in: I have glimpsed the terrifying future of lazy, defenceless, near-bankrupt Britain", The Telegraph (21 February 2024).
“There is now a striking correlation between levels of education and holding stupid, destructive ideas, between being highly credentialled and falling for every fashionable conspiracy theory, every tribalistic affliction, every online fad.”

Recorded in: We are the West's last generation before the new Dark Age begins", The Telegraph (24 April 2024).
“He [Rishi Sunak] must eschew complex, technocratic schemes, and focus on clear retail policies aimed at his own voters. He needs to forget about appealing to those who have already made up their minds to vote for Left-wing parties, or who always back the Greens, the SNP, the Lib Dems or Labour. He must give floating voters concrete reasons why they would be better off if he is reelected.”

“The PM apparently believes that he has wrong-footed Nigel Farage by calling an election for July 4; he must now make a bold offer to Reform's crucial electorate. He needs to be firm on Brexit, and highlight how Labour is bound to begin a gradual sell-out.”

Recorded in: There are just 1,000 hours to save Britain", The Telegraph (22 May 2024).
“[For them, t]here can be no British dream, no assimilation, just an ever worsening nightmare. Such activists, in other words, are racists: horrible, disgusting racists. It is to describe these kinds of attitudes that the word was invented. They are not merely white nationalists, but specifically white British identitarians, obsessed with genetic background. They are the kind of people who wouldn't have been uncomfortable with the Nuremberg race laws and apartheid South Africa's Population Registration Act.”

Recorded in: Rupert Lowe’s racist cheerleaders can no longer hide their despicable extremism", The Telegraph (7 August 2026).
“There is a new nasty party, and it isn’t the Tories. Our declinist-Remainer class has outdone itself, demonising and dismissing Liz Truss, and working itself up into a frenzy of self-righteous rage and indignation at the supposed incompetence of her new Government. Even for those inured to the extreme tribalism and coarseness of modern political discourse, the insults, double-standards and prejudice have been something to behold. I'm optimistic about the Truss Government. Yes, of course, nobody can possibly know how well it will do – whether it will outwit the Blob to push through genuine improvements. But it is absurd to state, almost as self-evident fact, that it is bound to collapse, that it cannot last even two years [until the next general election.]”

Recorded in: Britain's declinist Remainer elite is about to be humiliated" The Telegraph (7 September 2022).
