17 July 2022 1:11 AM

  • “Would-Be British PM Rishi Sunak’s Family Runs A China-Linked, World Economic Forum Partner Company Pushing Digital ID and Social Credit Scores.” – Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak, a frontrunner to become Britain’s next Prime Minister, has family ties to a technology partner of the World Economic Forum that has advocated a Chinese Communist Party-style economy with digital identities and currency, the National Pulse reports.
  • “WHO may declare monkeypox outbreak a global health emergency” – The UN health agency is now aware of 9,200 cases in 63 countries in the last update issued on Tuesday, with the U.K. recording 1,735 cases between May 6t and July 11th this year, according to the Mail.
  • “Twitter reverses ban of epidemiologist after legal threat” – Reclaim the Net calls it another example of Twitter censoring posts under the guise of stopping ‘misinformation’.
  • “Workers finally return to the office to enjoy the air-conditioning” – Data show office occupancy across the country reached 42% on Tuesday, a record high this year so far as workers take advantage of air conditioning in the warm weather, according to the Mail.
  • “Nurses’ union threaten strikes over 5% pay offer and say they need 16%” – The RCN has set out a case for a 16% pay rise, five points above the current 11% level of inflation, as union leader Pat Cullen said nurses’ hard work “warrants better”.
  • “Beware the crisis crisis ” – We live in a crisis culture, says Tim Dawson in the Critic. “Everything, we are told, is in crisis. Climate crisis. Covid crisis. NHS crisis. Economic crisis, obesity crisis, housing crisis. Education crisis. Energy crisis, population crisis. Cost of living crisis. Prison crisis. Migration crisis. Constitutional crisis. No wonder there’s a mental health crisis. The alcohol crisis is just people trying to stay sane.”
  • “Heatwaves and the climate of fear” – No, a spell of hot weather is not a ‘national emergency’, says Tim Black in Spiked.
  • “Did BBC team convince seven anti-vaxxers to get Covid jab?” – Among the seven in the show “Unvaccinated” is Vicky, 43, who is convinced the jab is causing deaths and serious injuries that are underplayed by health officials, reports the Mail.
  • “Western companies face ‘existential crisis’ as fears grow of Chinese invasion of Taiwan” – A standoff over Taiwan threatens far more collateral damage than the conflict in Ukraine, says Matt Oliver in the Telegraph.
  • “Germany’s Energy Catastrophe” – If Russia permanently cuts off natural gas exports to Germany, it will likely send the country, the world’s fourth-largest economy, into a severe recession, writes Lea Booth in Quillette.
  • “The next Tory leader should commit to ditching Net Zero” – The Conservatives are either the party of Net Zero or the party of low taxes but they cannot be both, says Rupert Darwall in the Spectator.
  • “In The U.K., Some Political Movement on The Climate Scare” – Francis Menton in WUWT writes that it has long been his view that the whole climate scare thing will fade away and disappear once the costs and risks of the insane zero carbon agenda become clear to the voting public.
  • “BBC apologises after interviewing transgender athlete who boasted of violence against women” – Justin Webb, who led the interview, has insisted he had “no idea” the retired MMA fighter, Fallon Fox, had made such comments, according to the Telegraph.
  • “UPenn blasted for Lia Thomas for NCAA’s ‘woman of the year’ award ” – Each school can nominate two women for the award, as long as one of them is non-white or an international student, but UPenn decided to nominate a man, reports the Mail.
  • “Drag queen story time for primary school children prompts backlash from parents” – The sessions, for three to 11-year-olds, sparked concern about the “sexualised” appearance of men dressed as women, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Woke dance school drops ballet from auditions as it is ‘white’ and ‘elitist’” – Ballet has been dropped from auditions at the leading dance school Northern School of Contemporary Dance as staff say it is rooted in “white European ideas”, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Leaked documents call Penny Mordaunt’s gender self-ID claims into question” – Penny Mordaunt’s claims she has never supported gender self-identification have come under fresh scrutiny after leaked Government documents seemed to contradict her, the Times reports.

  • “Universities are in denial over the free-speech crisis” – Campus censorship is out of control, but too many academics have their heads in the sand, says Arif Ahmed in Spiked.
