context_page_description: Peter Jonathan Hitchens is an English journalist and author. Hitchens writes for The Mail on Sunday and is a former foreign correspondent in Moscow and Washington. He has contributed to The Spectator, The American Conservative magazines, The Guardian, Prospect, and the New Statesman.
  Hitchens began his political career as a revolutionary socialist but now describes himself as a Burkean conservative. His confrontational and opinionated debating style often makes him a controversial figure.
  He is deeply critical of the modern UK Conservative Party and has opposed many of their policies, including the party's handling of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Hitchens has published nine books, including The Abolition of Britain, The Rage Against God, and The War We Never Fought. His latest book is The Phoney Victory.
