  • “‘We won’t stop pro-trans plotters’” – Keir Starmer has refused to stop a plot by ministers to thwart last week’s Supreme Court ruling that trans women are not legally women, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Labour must not undermine the Supreme Court’s trans judgment” – Trans people who want to get on quietly with their lives must be appalled by the poison being spread in their name, says the Telegraph in a leading article.
  • “A trans-activist temper tantrum” – Saturday’s London trans demo was a carnival of misogyny and public urination, writes Jo Bartosch in Spiked.
  • “Trans NHS patients can access every women-only space in London” – All NHS hospitals in London are refusing to comply with single-sex laws to stop transgender people using women-only spaces, reveals the Telegraph.
  • “The tide has not turned against woke. The backlash is the mirror of what it dislikes” – The kind of people who make a point of calling the Tory leader Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke are louder and more visible than ever, warns Daniel Hannan in the Telegraph, taking aim at the woke Right.
  • “Reform would now beat Labour to be largest party” – A new poll suggests that if an election were to be held today, Reform UK would be on track to win the most seats, with no party achieving a clear majority, according to Wales Online.
  • “It’s going wrong for the Right in the Anglosphere” – What is it about English speaking Conservatives in Britain, Canada and Australia that appears to render them incapable of running competent election campaigns? wonders Iain Dale in the Telegraph.
  • “Over £10 million handed to prison guards after violent inmate attacks” – Around 202 injured prison officers have received payouts from the Ministry of Justice since 2019/20, averaging £51,000 per person, reports the Mail.
  • “Shameless Chinese firms advertise ‘inflatable boats for refugees’” – Chinese companies have been openly selling “inflatable boats for refugees” online and advertising them directly to people smugglers, says GB News.
  • “Thug who beat man with cricket stump cannot be deported as he’s ‘not a threat’” – A thug who drove 100 miles to beat a man with a cricket stump cannot be deported as a judge ruled he is not a threat to the public, reports the Sun.
  • “ECHR has veered into politics, warns leading UK judge” – Lord Burnett warns that the European Court of Human Rights is overstepping its role, with human rights laws increasingly used to block UK deportations, according to the Telegraph.
  • “We don’t know if non-crime hate incidents help fight crime, police admit” – Police forces admit that they don’t know if non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) help tackle crime, reveals the Telegraph, having done little or no research on the subject.
  • “Two-tier policing row over Palestine march during Passover” – Essex Police has been accused of a “disastrous failure” and “two-tier policing” after allowing a pro-Palestinian march to proceed through a Jewish area in Southend during Passover, reports the Telegraph.
  • “On Israel, the BBC seems incapable of getting the simplest thing right” – The BBC has been mistranslating Yahud – the Arabic word for Jew – as Israeli for many years, writes Danny Cohen in the Telegraph.
  • “BBC drama has become pure liberal-elite poison” – BBC television has ceased to be relevant to its customers, says Simon Heffer in the Telegraph. If the licence fee is abolished in 2027, it will not be a second too soon.
  • “Labour seems to be forgetting Britain is still a Christian country” – Our liberal elites seem willing to celebrate every culture other than our own, writes Robert Jenrick in the Telegraph.
  • “Don’t turn Renaud Camus into a martyr” – The British state’s ban on the ‘great replacement’ philosopher has backfired, says Fraser Myers in Spiked.
  • “Miliband in blistering attack on Farage’s UK Net Zero ‘nonsense and lies’” – Ed Miliband has torn into Nigel Farage and the Tories for peddling dangerous “nonsense and lies” by suggesting the UK’s Net Zero target is responsible for destroying lots of Britain’s businesses, reports the Guardian.
  • “The great Hornsea Project Three cover-up” – Hornsea Project Three, an offshore windfarm, has been awarded extra contracts at higher prices than allowed under AR6, prompting serious concerns over transparency and accountability, warns David Turver on his Eigen Values Substack.
  • ‘Analysis of ‘renewable’ power Germany – the UK – France in the European context: 2024’ – Europe’s push for weather-dependent ‘renewables’ is a costly and inefficient gamble, with productivity plummeting and costs soaring, writes Ed Hoskins on his blog.
  • “Analysis of the approved raft of the Pandemic Treaty” – The WHO’s Pandemic Treaty is vague, non-binding and leaves little of substance for nations to object to, says Dr Meryl Nass on her Substack – what a relief!
  • ‘Trump proposes massive NIH budget cut and reorganisation’ – Will a Republican-led Congress really support Trump’s proposed 44% decrease for the world’s largest medical research funder? wonders Meredith Wadman in Science.
  • “‘‘Woke’ is the best thing that has happened to me’” – In the Telegraph, Mick Brown talks to comedian and former king of prime-time Jim Davidson about racism, Russell Brand and how the woke culture that once ruined him became his salvation.
  • ‘Panic glutton’ – In Takimag, Theodore Dalrymple considers the preparation required for various potential crises and disasters.
  • ‘What really makes us British?’ – There is more to our national identity than warm beer and fish and chips, says Sam Bidwell in the Critic.
  • “Does it not occur to them why sex is a protected characteristic?” – Connie Shaw on GB News expresses her astonishment at young women who describe themselves as feminists not understanding why it’s in their interests to champion the Supreme Court judgement on the Equality Act.
