Ollitics.com is a political and cultural commentary blog founded by Ollie Blackburn, offering sharp, original takes on the moments that shape nations.

Whether it’s politics in Westminster, chaos in Congress, the roar of the stadium, or seismic global shifts. Ollitics dives into the headlines that matter. With a clear voice and unapologetic perspective, I approach politics not merely as policy or power, but as a reflection of lived realities and national performance.

The site revolves around four central themes:

American Moments – Unpacking the drama, dysfunction, and democratic tensions of the U.S., from elections and activism to media influence and national mythology

British Moments – Charting the shifting landscape of the UK: from Conservative decline and Labour’s search for identity to questions of union, culture, and national direction.

Global Moments – Examining pivotal world events, wars, revolutions, diplomacy, climate struggles and the shifting balance of global power.

Sporting Moments – Covering the scorelines, the headlines, and the talking points. From decisive victories to political undercurrents, this section explores how sport reflects power, pride, and public emotion.

Whether it’s Trump’s legacy, Nigel Farage’s next move, or how a World Cup final reveals a nation’s soul, Ollitics offers perspective with personality.
