You can always tell when it’s Eldred’s day for picking “skeptical” articles…
Could you please explain that to me – I don’t pay that much attention to who is the editor of the day.
Sure.
When Eldred is doing the page we get a slew of BS articles trying to help Israel smokescreen its genocide by some pretty tenuous antisemitism claims, some wind-up junk to try snd inflame the xenophobic elements here expecting an imminent Jihadi takeover of the UK, or some straight from the central Israel propaganda factory on fake horror stories from October 7th (40 beheaded babies, ripped out babies, raped and tortured women…etc).
Never a whisper of the horror show reality of Gaza. Look over here!

Something tells me Ms Truss might be slightly adrift of the WEF bubble. Her defenestration always seemed corrupted.

“Is Corbyn poised to set up rival party….” A similar story on GBN, but also one on the theme that Reform might let Labour in (by splitting Tory votes). Any new party will split the traditional support for one or another, but if Corbyn does split Labour he might let the Tories in, even if they are cut back a bit by another group. Perhaps there will be a Liberal/<whatever> coalition for a while?
The concept of splitting votes implies the old parties own the voters who have supported them in the past. It goes further as Labour think they own the votes of all immigrants and their descendants while Tories assume they own all voters in small business.
we have seen similar attitudes in the economy when smaller firms were said to be inefficient or confusing to customers when they offered better cheaper services and products.
The best plan is to vote for the party and candidate you feel best represents your values and opinions. For me that is not the Tory Party nor any Westminster party.
Reform for me.
It’s outrageous that these men simply have to say “I am a woman “ to allow them to be in a women’s prison.
The women in prison is punishment enough and do not deserve this.
Who has let this happen? Heads need to roll
“Horizon scandal deepens as PM says convicted staff could be exonerated” – The Horizon scandal deepened today as Rishi Sunak admitted all sub-postmasters convicted of fraud or theft in the affair could be exonerated, says the Mail.
Why does it take a docu-drama on TV to get people to engage with this scandal? Are we going to have to wait for a docu-drama about the creation and emergence of the bug and the corruption of pharma and the regulators before people will engage in that scandal too?
“Imagining how a public health professor in 2040 will explain the pandemic, Prof. Eyal Shahar reflects on the lessons gleaned from COVID-19 on Substack.”
There was no pandemic.
I do not believe there is any such thing as a public health professor. There are “public health” “professors” but that’s not the same thing at all. I see little evidence that people in the “public health” industry are at all interested in the health of the public.
“Liz Truss in drive to put anti-woke agenda at heart of Tory manifesto”
I would applaud this if there was any real effort to deliver on manifesto promises, rather than get elected and do what the hell you like.
I think week 52 of 2023 might have even more excess deaths – I’m attending two funerals of people who died that week and heard of another, that’s quite unusual. But just to put this in perspective, the excess deaths have been racking up for a while now so this is more unusual than it first appears (since presumably some people who might have been expected to die around now died last year).
