  • “Reports of child deaths in the VAERS” – HART reviews the 28 reports of deaths of children in the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System within six weeks of a Covid vaccine, arguing children have all of the risk and none of the benefit of vaccination.

  • “How Volatile Is Offshore Wind?” – It is commonly claimed that the wind is much more constant and reliable in the North Sea and around Britain’s coasts than it is inland – but it’s not true, says Paul Homewood in Not a Lot of People Know That.
  • “Net Zero? Let the people decide” – If the pandemic has taught us anything it is that the Government following ‘the Science’ cannot be relied upon on to tell the whole truth on Net Zero any more than it did on Covid, writes Chris Davies in Bournbrook.

  • “Why it was a mistake for Ofcom to remove Russia Today” – In conflicts, there is always a temptation to mirror the tactics of one’s opponents – which is why it’s depressing to see Ofcom do so by taking Russia Today (RT) off air, writes Fraser Nelson in the Spectator.
