by Will Jones
25 May 2023 1:01 AM

  • “Covid inquiry demands to see Boris Johnson’s unredacted WhatsApp messages” – Chairman Baroness Hallett says the material is needed for context, but the Cabinet Office warns that disclosure would be a “serious intrusion of privacy”, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Work from home experiment ‘risks destroying Britain’s growth engine’” – Sadiq Khan is urged to lower Tube fares on Mondays and Fridays to lure staff back to offices, according to the Telegraph.
  • “False COVID-19 Vaccine Claims by Lancet: A Call for Retraction” – PANDA calls on the Lancet to retract a major paper claiming the Covid vaccines prevented 14.4 million deaths globally as it is “demonstrably incorrect in its assumptions”.
  • “The Most Important Test You’ve Never Heard Of” – David Zweig reports on a test developed by Stanford scientists in May 2020 that was never rolled out but which distinguishes infectious from non-infectious infections and revealed that asymptomatic positives were infectious just 4% of the time.
  • “It’s the biggest stitch-up since the Bayeux Tapestry! Andrew Pierce explains how Boris Johnson was left fuming by civil servants who called the police over his diaries from the Covid pandemic – and warns the ex-PM ‘won’t let this go’” – Pierce takes an in-depth look at the fierce row that has erupted in Westminster between the former premier and the civil service blob in the Mail.
  • “The EU is deepening the energy crisis” – Brussels’ Net Zero obsession will make Europe poorer, colder and darker, says James Woudhuysen in Spiked.
  • “Another wheel has come off the great electric car con” – Regulations which fixate on one form of pollution and ignore others ultimately help no-one, says Ross Clark in the Telegraph.
  • “The inconvenient truth about heat pumps” – They’re expensive and impractical, so why is the Government obsessed with them, asks Ruth Bloomfield in the Spectator.
  • “The vegan bubble is bursting – and it’s about time” – It looks as though manufacturers bit off more than they could chew when estimating how many of us would continue to buy plant-based products, says Celia Walden in the Telegraph.
  • “Electric car owners ‘should be charged per-mile-driven tax as EVs damage roads more’” – The Centre for Policy Studies warns that battery powered car owners should start paying sooner rather than later to help plug a budget black hole, the Telegraph reports.
  • “GB News named Britain’s most loved news brand just two years after launch” – The ‘People’s Channel’ came out on top in a survey of 45,000 Britons, according to, er, GB News – though it was an independent survey.
  • “Black Lives Matter is headed for insolvency after plunging $8.5M into the red – but founder Patrisse Cullors’ brother was still paid $1.6M for ‘security services’ in 2022, while sister of board member earned $1.1M for ‘consulting’” – BLM’s Global Network Foundation, which officially emerged in November 2020, is in dire financial straits, according to its most recent financial disclosure, amid questions over where the money has been going, the Mail reports.
  • “Is this Calvin Klein’s ‘Bud light moment?’ Ad featuring trans ‘man’ who’s not had top surgery modelling a bra sparks backlash – as shoppers say it’s a ‘far cry’ from their usual snaps of chiseled models” – A Calvin Klein advert featuring a trans ‘man’ posing in a sports bra has sparked furious backlash after going viral online Twitter, the Mail reports.
  • “Gary Lineker: The Virtue-signallers’ Virtue-signaller” – Gary Lineker’s Amnesty International Human Rights award is a slap in the face for the working class, who suffer mass immigration without virtue signalling, says Roger Watson in the New Conservative.
  • “The woke blob is about to achieve its greatest triumph: its final takeover of Britain” – Writing in the Telegraph, Allister Heath argues the only hope is a Ron DeSantis inspired fightback against Left-wing institutional capture.
  • “Oxford and Cambridge are locked in death spiral of competitive intolerance” – For too long, our preeminent universities have effectively been outbidding each other over cancellations, but finally the tide may be turning, writes Charlie Bentley-Astor in the Telegraph.
  • “The NIH-published study that exposes the gulf between trans athletes and women in sports: Male-to-female transitioners are faster, stronger and fitter than most women even after taking hormone drugs” – A major review published by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) last August suggests early exposure to testosterone means trans women have physiological benefits over biological women, the Mail reports.
  • “I’m running for President to lead our Great American Comeback” – Anti-lockdown, anti-woke leader Ron DeSantis launches his Presidential bid on Twitter.
