News Round-Up

by Richard Eldred
13 January 2024 1:42 AM

  • “Iran-backed Houthi rebels threaten battle against U.S. and U.K.” – Furious Houthi forces have vowed to retaliate on a scale “beyond the imagination” of the West after heavy U.K. and U.S. air strikes pounded targets across rebel-held areas of Yemen last night, reports the Mail.
  • “Britain and America must be ready to bomb Houthi bases to rubble” – Missiles must pour into terrorist bases until they get the message: give up and go home, argues Hamish Bretton-Gordon in the Telegraph.
  • “This Yemen flashpoint could explode” – For weeks, the bloodthirsty Yemeni militia has been attacking Western shipping in the Red Sea, disrupting international supply chains and causing millions of dollars’ worth of damage to the global economy. Could the West’s retaliation plunge Britain and America into war? asks Mark Almond in the Mail.
  • “France refused to support British and U.S. airstrikes on Houthis” – Paris has ruled out joint action with its Western allies, reports the Telegraph.
  • “South African national cricket team removes Jewish captain” – Cricket South Africa had removed the Jewish captain of the under-19 side after pro-Palestinian activists threatened disruptive protests during the forthcoming world championships, reports the Jerusalem Post.
  • “Researcher who may have made Covid still receiving $50million from US” – Records show that the EcoHealth Alliance will continue to be funded to capture and test bats, pangolins and other animals for viruses in countries including Myanmar and Thailand until August 2027, reports the Mail.
  • “Smokescreens – Part 10” – Part 10 of Dr. Tom Jefferson and Prof. Carl Heneghan’s deep dive into the way death statistics are compiled in the U.K.
  • “How Net Zero fuelled Germany’s devastating house price crash” – Mortgage applications in Germany dropped 40% between January and October last year thanks, in part, to the raft of new ‘energy conserving’ regulations that have been imposed on houses, says the Telegraph.
  • “The climate scaremongers: Gerrit and Henk, storms in a teacup” – Storms Gerrit and Henk are nothing to worry about, says Paul Homewood in TCW: Defending Freedom.
  • “The EV fiasco has descended into farce. Just ask Hertz” – Whether it’s heat pumps or electric cars, the Government’s efforts to reach Net Zero by 2050 are becoming farcical, says Ross Clark in the Telegraph.
  • “Women deserve better than Munroe Bergdorf” – Why does this mediocre, scandal-prone man keep being called upon to represent women? asks Jo Bartosch in Spiked.
  • “Three cheers for Camilla (no, the other one)” – Camilla Tominey eviscerates an uncomfortable Bridget Phillipson, says Mr Chips on his Substack.
  • “Prosecutor appeals Bible-tweet case to Finnish Supreme Court” – The state prosecution against Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen and Bishop Pohjola continues, despite the Finish Appellate Court confirming the ‘not guilty’ verdicts, according to ADF International.
  • “Khan’s Brexit BS” – Why is the Mayor of London pretending Brexit is unmentionable? asks Will Dunn in the New Statesman‘s Substack.
  • “Jan Latham-Koenig charged with child sex offence” – A 70-year-old British conductor, who was appointed OBE in 2020, was arrested at Victoria railway station on Wednesday and charged with a child sex offence, reports the Times.
  • “How German taxpayer-funded fact-checkers conducted covert surveillance of a private meeting for the purpose of smearing Alternative für Deutschland and justifying calls to ban the party” – The dirty tricks to make the AfD go away have now begun, reports Eugyppius.
  • “How Nazis invaded Silicon Valley’s writer utopia” – Substack is under pressure over its light-touch editorial approach, reports the Telegraph, with users divided over whether ‘Nazi’ accounts should be banned or not.
  • “Sir Ed Davey has refused to apologise over his position in the Post Office scandal” – The leader of the Liberal Democrats is repeatedly asked by an ITV interviewer whether he’d like to apologise to the victims of the Post Office/Horizon scandal and repeatedly refuses. Now only a matter of days before he falls on his sword, surely?

Sir Ed Davey has refused to apologise over his position in the Post Office scandal, despite being asked to more than ten times in an interview with ITV News' @PaulBrandITV https://t.co/iC6gR2m0KG pic.twitter.com/hhgPQuXIHE
