He attained a BA in War Studies from King's College London, an MSc in Middle Eastern Politics from the School of Oriental and African Studies,[1] and a Graduate Diploma in Law from The College of Law in London.[2]
Though he grew up in the United Kingdom, his political career began in the United States when he worked as an intern in Washington, D.C., during the 2004 US Presidential Campaign. He also had a short stint working for a British Member of Parliament, Humfrey Malins, during 2005.
His first television appearances were in the United Kingdom, as a commentator on US and international politics on news outlets such as BBC and Sky News during the 2012 US Presidential Election.[3] In 2012 he moved to Washington D.C.
He has contributed to news organisations, including The Week, The Spectator, The Weekly Standard, Reuters, The American Spectator, The Daily Caller, Fox News, The Washington Times, USA Today, CNN, The Christian Science Monitor, The Atlantic, The Commentator and Huffington Post.[4] He is a regular contributor to the National Review,[5] The Telegraph.[6] and The Guardian.[1] In 2014, he began making increasingly frequent TV appearances as a pundit/commentator on news outlets such as Fox News and CNN.[4] A specialist in Middle-Eastern politics and US foreign policy, he featured regularly as a commentator on various news outlets during the initial uprising of ISIS in 2014, occasionally making multiple TV appearances a day. He has appeared twice on the HBO show, Real Time with Bill Maher.
In August 2014 he was chosen as the inaugural chair of the ‘Tony Blankley Chair for Public Policy and American Exceptionalism’ award by the Steamboat Institute,[4] an educational and political group based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, in memory of political analyst Tony Blankley. In 2014 he was a frequent guest panellist on The McLaughlin Group,[3] becoming a regular panellist in 2015.[7]
