  • “Amsterdam shows the limits of liberalism” – Stephen Daisley in the Spectator blames mass immigration for meaning the “wake up calls” following antisemitic violence never seem to be heeded.

  • “Democrats lost the election because they misunderstood the truth of the culture war” – Harris had bet on a blue landslide on abortion rights, but forgot that voters care most about guarantees over basic needs, says Charles Moore in the Telegraph.
  • “America has abandoned student politics and got serious again. Will Britain follow?” – The real issues were not race and abortion but illegal migration, the cost of living and government overreach, says Douglas Murray in the Telegraph.
  • “Nigel Farage is clearly the best choice to woo Donald Trump – and that’s a problem for Labour” – The Reform U.K. leader’s special bond with the returning U.S. President could be fruitful for Britain – but Keir Starmer won’t let it happen, says the Telegraph‘s Gordon Rayner.
  • “National conservatism has won its first great victory” – The lesson the Tories must take from Trump’s landslide is that there’s nothing wrong with patriotism, says David Frost in the Telegraph.
  • “Smiling, winking, Biden looked delighted that Kamala Harris lost” – At least he beat Donald Trump once: that was more than any of his Democrat critics managed, says Poppy Coburn in the Telegraph.
  • “It’s not racism that cost Kamala the election” – The Clinton campaign was right about what wins votes – “It’s the economy, stupid” – and it’s still true today, says Andrew Roberts in the Telegraph.
  • “Is California turning red?” – A staggering 40% of Californians voted for Donald Trump, with Republicans leading in several of the most competitive House districts, and in San Francisco the uber-progressive Mayor London Breed has been voted out, says Soledad Ursúa in UnHerd.
  • “Trump-deranged David Lammy is a liability for Britain” – The Foreign Secretary’s unhinged outbursts about the U.S. President-Elect reveal a mind broken by populism, says Fraser Myers in Spiked.
  • “Trump ‘will go easy on Britain because of Brexit’” – The President-Elect’s “sympathy” for the U.K. may save it from sweeping trade tariffs, a U.S. state Governor has suggested, according to the Telegraph.
  • “2028” – On Substack, Thomas Buckley takes a look ahead to the 2028 U.S. Presidential race <groan>.
  • “In which insane German delusions about the near-certainty of a Harris Presidency are dashed on the rocks of Trump’s decisive victory” – “Every now and then,” writes Eugyppius, “reality emerges from the shadows to crush the hollow propaganda of the press and the hallucinations of our politicians. We must enjoy these times.”
  • “‘What should I do if I’m scared because of Donald Trump?’ – Spiegel consults a behavioural therapist on how to deal with the mental health consequences of Trump’s victory” – In a German newspaper’s interview with psychotherapist Maren Vogel, Eugyppius discovers a nation apparently suffering quite literally from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
  • “Farmers plan breakaway protest after union declines to back mass demonstration” – Farmers are planning a breakaway inheritance tax protest after the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) declined to back a mass demonstration, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Labour paves the way for four-day working week” – Labour is paving the way for the introduction of a four-day week in the public sector by scrapping Whitehall opposition to shorter working hours for the same pay at South Cambridgeshire council, days after imposing a £25 billion tax rise on businesses, says the Telegraph.
  • “Council tax could rise to pay for Rachel Reeves’s NI raid, policing chiefs warn” – Several forces say they are facing budget “black holes” due to the National Insurance hike that can only be filled by raising local taxes or cutting front-line officers, reports the Telegraph.

  • “Military families told to find cheaper schools after VAT raid on fees” – The Government has helpfully advised military families on how to find cheaper private schools if they are priced out by its VAT raid, reports the Telegraph. Meanwhile, the Armed Forces are suffering a recruitment crisis…
  • “Labour appoints Chagos chief to run national security” – The guy who just bartered away the Chagos Islands, Jonathan Powell, has been announced as the new National Security Adviser in No.10, says ‘Steerpike’ in the Spectator. Safe pair of hands…
  • “The Bank has fluffed its chance to stop a new inflationary storm” – Threadneedle Street went ahead with its pre-programmed cut just when the warning signs were flashing red, says the Telegraph‘s Matthew Lynn.
  • “Ed Miliband’s £296 billion clean energy bill doesn’t add up” – In UnHerd, David Rose dismantles Mad Miliband’s latest implausible Net Zero plans.

  • “Senior Labour figures voice concern over assisted dying bill” – Growing numbers of senior Labour MPs are concerned about whether to vote in favour of legalising assisted dying, with Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones the latest to warn that a fortnight is not enough time for debate, reports the Mail.
  • “Farage: ‘I won’t vote for assisted dying’” – Reform leader Nigel Farage says the way the issue has been dealt with in Canada gives him the “shivers” ahead of a free vote later this month, reports the Telegraph.
  • “‘God is not a white man’ declare Church of England clergy in Jesus diversity drive” – Church of England clergy have declared that “God is not a white man” and are working to make images of Jesus more diverse in the name of “racial justice”, reports the Telegraph. Somehow I doubt giving the Bible the Bridgerton treatment will get the masses flocking back to the pews.
  • “Oxford University to spend more than £3.3 million ‘decolonising’ the curriculum and encouraging reporting of microaggressions” – Under the programme, EDI officers at Oxford will spearhead an £841,000 campaign to prevent “racial harassment and bullying”, reports the Mail. Sounds like another university to be avoided by the sane.
  • “Why do so many private school students get extra time in exams?” – With data showing that approaching half (42%) of private school pupils qualify for extra time in exams due to a “learning disability”, compared to (a still considerable) 27% in state schools, the Spectator‘s Simon Cook wonders if independent schools have worked out how to game the system.

  • “President Trump superb in taking on the Net Zero climate nonsense” – Change is coming, says Richard Tice on X as he posts a video of Trump declaring that “one of the most urgent tasks for our country is to decisively defeat the climate hysteria hoax”.

President Trump superb in taking on the Net Zero climate nonsense……

“No TV tonight darling, the wind isn’t blowing”

Change is coming….

Outlandish fraud. All Totalitarian theologies enage in massive fraud. Rona fascism was a case in point. The Climate tards have been doing it for 140 years. When I was young I was told an Ice Age cometh, and New York City would be under water by 1995 and all raw materials would be used up by 1990. Massive famines, most would die and peak oil was pronounced every day. All rubbish and anti-science crap.

Where I am in Sussex, March-April-early May has been one of the coldest wettest ugliest springs in recent memory. But. I am waiting for these idiots to tell me that April was the hottest April evah in the UK! Records everywhere no doubt.

Maybe they will put their temp reading units in the oven at the BBC office and regale us with the boiling temps.

Agree, wettest coldest April I can remember in my 50 years. Yet I heard either BBC or Independent not sure that April had the hottest day on record. I genuinely think people believe this s**t ahead of their own experience.

But it is getting hotter. Climate scientists’ models show that all 12 months were warmer than normal this year, making 2024 the hottest year ever.

I heard that too. I had to light the wood stove a few weeks ago after a break from having to do so. some people need a permanent warm house, I just vent where I can and keep the living room warm enough!

Germany saw record levels of snowfall last winter and – this certainly hasn’t ever happened during my conscious lifetime – heavy snowfall as late as late April. However, as some climate guru declared on TV, due to global boiling this was unsually warm snow.

According to my personal experiences, since 2000, when snow reappeared after years without it, it’s generally getting colder and not hotter and that’s why the global boilists have to resort to ever more elaborate fakery to keep the 1990s narrative of climate change driven by global warming alive.

Wealthy individuals throughout history have made attempts to ‘corner’ certain markets. States do the same thing. China, for example, controls a huge proportion of global copper production. Copper is the foundation stone for electricity powered systems.

The Chinese Communist Party, as we have seen on our streets, can deploy a lavishly funded lobby at any given moment, in support of its own interests.

That is as true of the nut zero ‘green’ lobby as it is of the rabid faux ethnic clothed pro Palestine paid claque infesting the streets of London.

That is the reason, pure and simple venality, that so much poorly evidenced nut zero tripe finds its way into Britain’s public discourse.

Some wise poster on here said something like it’s not the cause it’s the revolution, they were right. This is a great example, they don’t give 2 turds about the environment, in fact they love filth and ugliness, they just seek control.

Collection of data from ‘non standardised’ data collection stations is a scientific waste of time!
…… unless of course, you’re collecting ‘data’ for non-scientific purposes.

Their data collection has the same meaning and veracity as the ‘89% of 57 wimmin swear on their granny’s grave that X face cream makes them look 100% younger’ adverts. And should be treated with equal distain.

As well of the national joke record at RAF Coningsby in 2022 there was the notorious joke record at Heathrow Airport when three passenger jets turned off on to the taxiway and blew their exhausts directly over the temperature monitoring sensor. The Met Office said it was due to a “break in the clouds” for a few minutes. Obviously, having temperature sensors at airports, close to runways, is exactly what is need for the intended purpose: to measure actual air temperature needed to ensure safety margins for take-off and landing of aircraft. However, such sensors are useless for originating climatic data, as the readings have to be “adjusted” to allow for the micrometeorology of tarmac, concrete, building and aircraft movements, such “adjustments” being extremely prone to inaccurate modelling, poor estimation and fraud. Even worse, if the climatic “data” is to be used to claim instantaneous temperature records (rather than deriving mean values over decades) then obviously people are going to scrutinize the precise circumstances under which the figures were obtained, which tends to show up anomalies such as aircraft movements.
A somewhat different “adjustment” should have been applied to the figures at Cambridge University Botanic Gardens, which not only showed a record but a general upward trend over decades. More likely than not this trend should be attributable to the way that the Botanic Gardens were originally in open countryside but have gradually been overrun by development of Cambridge city and are now surrounded by office block sun-traps.

Has anyone ever seen an elephant? How about a Zebra? How about a Pillar box? —-I know that Daily Sceptic subscribers are very observant so I am presuming most of them will have seen those things and will know they exist. They would not likely have to say something like “Elephants are real and happening now” though would they? —–But has anyone ever seen “climate change”? Where did you see it? What does it look like? Did you look out of your living room window one day say to your wife “Hey come and see all the climate change”?.—————- Ok so very smart climate hysteria people will laugh at me and say “But I have never seen a molecule and I know they exist, and I have never seen the planet Uranus but I know that exists, so you are simply a climate change denier. ——Oh dear what a fool I am. But hold on a second let’s take a look at some data. If this “climate change is real and happening now” we should see storms, floods, droughts, wild fires getting more frequent and worse and rate of sea level rise increasing. ——But in the real world there is no increase in the frequency or intensity of any type of weather event and no evidence that the rate of sea level rise is increasing, and remember sea level has been rising for 12,000 years, long before we burned any coal, because we are in a warmer Interglacial period. ———So the statement “Climate Change is real and happening now” is not a scientific statement, it is a political one. It is a statement that seeks to imply that climate change as a result of human activity is as plain as the nose on your face and anyone who says it isn’t must have some kind of agenda and are likely funded in some way by fossil fuel companies. —–But actually the people with the agenda are the people making unvalidated claims about a climate crisis they have no evidence for and who convince themselves that computer models full of speculations and assumptions are evidence of something. ———-They ARE NOT.

“Global temperature” ???? What is that exactly? Do the government funded data adjusters just stick a thermometer under the earths armpit and take a reading? ——The earth doesn’t have a temperature. All temperature is local. You can record a temperature anywhere you put a thermometer.

“Tucker is said to be “particularly interested in intersectional approaches to urban poverty and inequality”. No doubt these are his areas of expertise, but in collating measurements next to the exhausts of multiple jet aircraft for the purpose of making predictions of Thermogeddon, he would appear to be operating outside his comfort zone.”

Wow!

“intersectional approaches to urban poverty and inequality”.

Heady stuff – whatever this shyte is. No use to man nor beast but he’s an ex spurt.

Put him back in his pram and start again.

I don’t think the Climate Industrial Complex will be too worried that their scam is under any kind of threat and the public are going to see it for what a fraud it is if the response here is anything to go by. ——-Climate Change Eco Socialism pretending to be science is the greatest threat to our freedom and prosperity, and we are all just letting them get away with it, except for a few exceptions like some DS subscribers, they are getting carte blanche to do as they please.
