The populist right has exactly the same tactics with migration/immigration that the populist right use with Gaza. Neither has any solutions, and both have a vested electoral interest in making the problem seem worse than it is. New article: open.substack.com/pub/mrandrew...
Reform weaponises migration. The Greens weaponise Gaza. Different tribes, same psychological playbook: shock, grievance and a permanent enemy. Neither party is fit for government. My latest: The Green-Reform Grievance Machine. open.substack.com/pub/mrandrew...
The Ceuta “invasion” is over already. How did a spat between Spain and Morocco over Spanish-Algerian relations turn into internet hysteria? Populist politicians have a lot to answer for. Find out the truth behind Ceuta, here: open.substack.com/pub/mrandrew...
Hysterical online reactions help nobody. The Ceuta crisis was a storm in a teacup, and almost all those who crossed the border last night are back home again. That did not stop populist politicians from inventing phantom consequences. Find out the truth for yourself open.substack.com/pub/mrandrew...

Readmitting to the Labour Party someone who said “Jews don't experience racism”, at the time of the highest ever level of antisemitism reports. The Corbyn days of antisemitic Labour are back. open.substack.com/pub/mrandrew...
There is a reason other Arab states will not accept refugees from the Palestinian territories. They remember what happened in Jordan and Lebanon: civil war. The UK importing Gazans is a suicidal step. Don't forget the images of Gazans cheering and spitting on the corpses of murdered Jews.

To clarify: Israel has been trying to wipe out every Gazan, whilst flooding the place with aid, vaccinating children, and killing almost no-one who wasn’t a combatant, in terms of a significant percentage of the whole? In nearly 3 years? So they’re both genocidal AND completely shit at it?
It is incredible. There is no aspect of the genocide allegation against Israel that has not collapsed. The media, NGOs, UN hangers on, fraudulent academics, and influencers should be apologising for 3 years of lies and false assumptions. This is a global scandal. open.substack.com/pub/mrandrew...
Collapse of the Blood Libels
Every pillar of the genocide accusation against Israel has crumbled. The institutions that built it have suddenly lost their voices.
open.substack.com
The genocide case against Israel is collapsing under the weight of evidence its loudest advocates ignored. From famine claims built on untested assumptions to casualty narratives now contradicted by the data, the story sold to the world is coming apart. My latest article examines the wreckage.
It is clear that Khan abused legal process as well as his employees. And so the ICC dies. The court is now exposed as corrupt and thus unsalvageable. It’ll be the same with the Genocide Convention in the ICJ. Destroyed by pandering to false allegations. Well done, everybody. What a shame.
My new Telegraph article: Streeting’s cynical smears against Israel prove he’s not fit for office www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/64f6ee2...
Read my new Jewish Chronicle article rebutting Wes Streeting's nonsense about the IDF. The Israelis aren't perfect, but no army is. Every military makes mistakes, but no military in recent times had to fight in an environment as challenging as Gaza. www.thejc.com/opinion/i-se...
I served in Afghanistan: Wes Streeting’s claim that the IDF fell short of British Army standards is slander - The Jewish Chronicle
Israeli soldiers had to fight house by house through a defensive system running through walls, floors and deep underground while protecting civilians at home from rocket fire. We faced nothing…

I’ve been to Gaza 3 times during the war, I’m writing my PhD on it, and I have a book coming out early next year. I did 16 years in the British Army, three tours of Afghanistan. The IDF operates to the same standards we do. Wes Streeting doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
The US is making the same mistake in Iran as Israel made in Gaza: no day after plan, no strategy. open.substack.com/pub/mrandrew...
America is winning every battle against Iran. It is still losing the war.
Gaza exposed the fatal gap between tactical supremacy and strategic victory. Trump is now repeating the same mistake on a far larger battlefield.

I called it on Day 3 of the Iran War: missile stocks would dictate the outcome of the war, and it was always a race against time. Now the numbers prove it. Latest article on my best-selling Substack. substack.com/@mrandrewfox...

Thrilled to see my words in a book for the very first time. It’s only a chapter, but it’s (quite literally!) a start! You can order it here: amzn.eu/d/e58qBlB
'This leak is symptomatic of the fact that the system that was put in place after Afghanistan wasn't really fit for purpose.' @mrandrewfox.bsky.social on the Afghan data leak exposing the identities of over 100 Britons—including MI6 officers and special forces. @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social
‘The last details we’ve had of any peace deal were hugely loaded in favour of Russia.’ @mrandrewfox.bsky.social on the US-Ukraine critical minerals deal and the latest Vatican peace talks between Trump and Zelensky.
‘Handing Putin a victory guarantees future conflict in Europe.’ @mrandrewfox.bsky.social speaks to LBC News on America’s role in ongoing peace negotiations and outlines how to put pressure on Putin to end the war, following Russia’s overnight strikes on Kyiv.
Here’s a picture of me, a European, security freeloading in Afghanistan as part of a US Army special forces task force. Look! They even gave me a special “freeloader” badge to wear above my medals. 12 close friends and colleagues killed when they were there freeloading too.
‘So much damage has now been done not only to Ukraine, not only to America’s reputation as a fair and supportive ally, but also to relations with European countries.’ @mrandrewfox.bsky.social discusses Ukraine’s agreement to a 30 day ceasefire with Russia on GB News.
‘When every smartphone is a battlefield, controlling the story is as crucial as controlling the ground.’ @mrandrewfox.bsky.social writes for @telegraphnews.bsky.social on how the British army can adapt the IDF’s strategies for the war in Ukraine. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03...

‘We are seeing a huge threat to global security. It sends a terrible message to China over Taiwan that we are not prepared to back up our allies as the West and as America, specifically.’ @mrandrewfox.bsky.social reacts to Zelensky’s statement today that Ukraine is ready to work with the US.
Zelenskyy is a ten times a man compared to the other two, put together. Two moral weakling, tyrant-fellating, cheap showmen for simpletons, barking at one of modern history’s great men. What an age we live in. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
‘Trump has decided to cozy up to one of the world’s worst dictators. In doing so, it utterly demeans Zelensky, who is an absolute hero.’ @mrandrewfox.bsky.social on TalkTV discusses the White House “nakedly parroting" Kremlin disinformation lines amid peace talks.
Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

‘History teaches us the consequences of appeasing dictators: more conflict further down the line.' @mrandrewfox.bsky.social writes for @lbc.co.uk on Trump's shift towards Ukraine, the risks of sidelining NATO, and standing firm against authoritarian aggression. www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...
