How the Political Right Plans to Square the Circle at Charing Cross Hospital (Spoiler: They Don’t) by Lawson Akhigbe
Charing Cross Hospital sits in that peculiar West London sweet spot where the average house price has long since waved goodbye to the million-pound mark and is now busy collecting gold medals in the “how high can we go” Olympics. The surrounding streets are a parade of desirable postcodes, glossy estate agent boards, and the quiet confidence of people who regard a £1.2 million two-bed as a “starter home” if you squint hard enough and ignore the service charge. -

How to Pay Less Tax Than Your Barista: A Billionaire’s Guide by Lawson Akhigbe
If you open your paycheck, you will notice a rather tragic recurring character named "Tax Deductions." Before you even get a chance to squander your earnings on overpriced oat milk or electricity, the government takes its slice right off the top. Forty percent, thirty percent, twenty percent, whatever bracket you land in, the tax collector behaves like an eager bouncer checking bags at the door. You earned a salary, so you pay up. Non-negotiable. -

The Curious Case of the Missing Shepherds by Lawson Akhigbe
There is a peculiar habit that appears with remarkable frequency in American and British political commentary.

Austerity: Britain’s Longest-Running Political Fancy Dress by Lawson Akhigbe
There is an old British habit that refuses to die. When the public finances look awkward, someone reaches for the national costume box, pulls out the Union Jack, and declares that the only patriotic course is to ask the people with the least to tighten their belts a little more. The word of the hour is always “austerity.” The justification is always necessity. The result is almost always the same. -

The British Right and the Great Social Sorting Experiment by Lawson Akhigbe
It wants to celebrate Britain as the greatest country in the world while simultaneously proposing policies that would make large parts of Britain less British. -

When “National Security” Becomes a Weapon Against Social Security by Lawson Akhigbe
There is an old British political habit which deserves rather more scrutiny than it usually receives: when governments want the public to accept an uncomfortable policy, they wrap it in the Union Jack and call it national security. -

Is David Cameron the Worst Thing to Happen to Modern Britain? By Lawson Akhigbe
Some political leaders leave office and quietly retreat into the background. Others spend their retirement writing memoirs that nobody reads and giving speeches that nobody remembers. -

The Safe Place for Bigotry and Crime by Lawson Akhigbe
It has no postcode. It does not appear on Google Maps. There are no street signs pointing towards it. Yet, whenever one of its inhabitants is caught saying something outrageous or doing something politically or legally questionable, suddenly we are told that the offending words or conduct belonged there.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/09/05/the-safe-place-for-bigotry-and-crime-by-lawson-akhigbe/
