Hi, I'm Darren Thomas and I am Chief Editor of The Hawker Gazette, a blog focused on sharing opinions, views and topics for debate on the UK political environment.

Typically providing a traditionally Conservative, centre-right take on the goings-on in Westminster, and holding to account those charged with the governance of this country, we offer discussion that is intended encourage lively but respectful debate on the key areas of policy, conduct and scandal across the main parties operating out of SW1.

Often thought-provoking, sometimes unashamedly provocative, but never ever bland... we reject all aspects of fence-sitting and seek to share opinions which, whether you agree with them or not, will almost always get you engaged and contributing to the discussion.

​

So, welcome to our blog! Please read, enjoy, contribute, share, and get involved in the debate. And if you like what we do, then we would be very grateful for your support to enable us to keep going, with donations accepted through our Just-Giving page here:
