  • “Why many Kiwis will ‘never forget’ Jacinda Ardern’s cruelty” – In her final speech as New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern said she wanted to be remembered as someone who always tried to be kind. However many Kiwis will remember her for her cruelty, writes Cameron Carpenter in the Mail.
  • “St Jacinda’s global cheerleaders can’t acknowledge the truth about her fall” – New Zealand’s outgoing PM is a case study in how a leader can be polarising at home, but revered abroad, writes Fraser Nelson in the Telegraph.
  • “Thousands at risk of heart attacks due to Covid disruption, experts warn” – The British Heart Foundation continues its efforts to blame lockdowns ‘Covid disruption’ for the wave of heart deaths owing to a lack of access to healthcare and drugs, according to the Guardian.
  • “Covid deaths soar among Japan’s elderly as omicron rips through nursing homes” – The Telegraph‘s Gates-funded Global Health Security Team tries to explain the vaccine failure.
  • “After four shots, Covid jabs sharply reduced immune function in mice” – Alex Berenson reports on a worrying finding from Chinese researchers published in a peer-reviewed paper last month that went oddly unnoticed at the time.
  • “Lockdowns Were Counterterrorism, Not Public Health” – Debbie Lerman in Brownstone on the evidence that the pandemic was treated as a matter of national security, and why it matters.
  • “Do the Mysterious Fibrous Clots Really Exist?” – The Midwestern Doctor reports the striking results of a survey of U.S. embalmers that found 70% have seen a sharp increase in the strange ‘fibrous clots’ since 2020, and especially since the vaccine rollout in 2021.
  • “Myocarditis began with vaccine rollout” – When unvaccinated people are looked at specifically, there is no evidence of an increase in incidence of myocarditis, says HART.
  • “Scottish cardiac ambulance data shows worrying increase in incidents” – Norman Fenton and Martin Neil look at the data and find the youngest age groups are the worst affected.
  • “The WHO: Our New Overlords” – John Mac Ghlionn in Brownstone outlines worries about what the WHO has in store with its new pandemic rules.
  • “Wyoming Lawmakers Propose Bill To Phase Out EVs By 2035” – A group of six Republican lawmakers in Wyoming is proposing to phase out the sale of new electric vehicles in the state by 2035 to protect its oil and gas industries and preserve critical resources, according to Bill Pan, courtesy of Zero Hedge.
  • “The unhinged environmentalism of Al Gore” – In a speech to the WEF in Davos, Gore angrily berated the world for failing to realise just how close we are to climate apocalypse – yet as well as his frequent flying, Gore’s Tennessee house was revealed in 2007 to be consuming 20 times as much as the average U.S. home, writes Ross Clark in the Spectator.
  • “Amazon customers rip up Prime subscriptions in disgust at axing of Jeremy Clarkson as ITV boss who forced out Piers Morgan over Meghan makes veiled warning over Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? host’s future” – The streaming service is set to ‘cut ties’ with the 62-year-old following his controversial column on the Duchess of Sussex, sources said, and some customers have had enough, reports the Mail.
  • “When did Steve Baker become a social justice warrior?” – Toby in the Spectator wonders whether if he’d become an MP he too would have gone woke.
  • “Gender bill lobbyists get millions from SNP” – Scottish charities and civic groups that criticised the Westminster Government’s decision to block Holyrood’s gender recognition laws receive millions in funding from the SNP-led administration, reports the Times.
  • “Labour’s Lisa Nandy suggests 13-year-olds should be able to change their gender” – The Wigan MP with more of the trans extremism that lurks in the Labour Party, according to a report in the Telegraph.
  • “Whitehall’s proposed ban on trans conversion therapy is doing the work of activists” – If ministers want to introduce legal safeguards they should do so against the promotion of potentially harmful gender-changing practices, says the Telegraph in a leading article.
  • “The Tories can’t be trusted” – As the Tories let down their supporters once again with the proposed trans ‘conversion therapy’ ban, Patrick O’Flynn in the Spectator says there are so many Tory MPs who cannot be trusted that voting Conservative again would represent the triumph of hope over experience.
  • “The Left-wing case for a free speech tsar” – Anvee Bhutani in UnHerd writes that Arif Ahmed can help students rediscover the core values of higher education.
  • “A harmful approach to harmful content” – The criminalisation of social media managers for ill-defined ‘legal but harmful’ speech is wrongheaded and will result in platforms proactively censoring everyone’s feeds down to what is appropriate for children by default, says Matthew Lesh in the Critic.
  • “Tony Blair wants an international system of tracking the vaccinated and the unvaccinated” – Aaron Ginn tweets a video of the former PM at Davos proposing a global vaccine passport system.
