News Round-Up

by Will Jones
9 March 2025 12:00 AM

  • “Inside the battle engulfing Reform” – The dispute between leader Nigel Farage and little-known MP Rupert Lowe reveals the true scale of the division within the party, says the Telegraph.
  • “Nigel Farage is the Messiah” – And Rupert Lowe is a very naughty boy, says J’Accuse as the blog sets out why Lowe’s judgement was spectacularly poor in effectively declaring against Farage last week.
  • “Reform has acted responsibly over Rupert Lowe” – In the Telegraph, Nigel Farage gives his take on the Rupert Lowe debacle: “The stakes are too high: my party has an election to win in 2029.”
  • “If anyone deserves to be removed from Reform, it’s Zia Yusuf” – Reform cannot win a General Election without accepting democratisation, argues Ben Habib in the Telegraph.
  • “Rupert Lowe blasts Lee Anderson as a ‘pathetic, vindictive’ liar after chief whip said ‘no man is bigger than our party’ as Reform UK’s civil war explodes” – Reform UK’s chief whip Lee Anderson has been branded a “pathetic, vindictive” liar after wading into a spat with Rupert Lowe who claims he was “knifed” after questioning Nigel Farage’s leadership, the Mail reports.
  • “No one liked what happened in the White House – and I can assure you it wasn’t meant to happen. But Trump’s peace plan is now becoming clear. Next step: A brutal squeeze on Putin…” – In the Mail, Boris backs Trump: “His plan is one that I believe will help deliver the interests of Ukraine and of the US.”
  • “Why Russia has shrugged off Trump’s sanctions threat” – While Donald Trump may be threatening Moscow with major new sanctions, as it continues to hammer Ukraine, the Russians seem unfazed, says Mark Galeotti in the Spectator.
  • “Blaming the Victim: Trump’s Ukraine Démarche” – What does Trump’s overt tilt in favour of Putin portend for Ukraine, NATO and the world, asks Peter Baldwin on the Politics and Civilisation Substack.
  • “How Russia turned immigrants into weapons” – Russia uses migration like “a tap”, which it can turn on and off to influence European leaders, experts have said, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Labour is finally waking up to the benefits crisis” – The welfare bill currently stands at an unsustainable £314 billion and is forecast to reach nearly £380 billion by the end of the decade. Little wonder Labour is finally seeing a need to tackle it, says Michael Simmons in the Spectator.
  • “Streeting refuses to intervene in NHS puberty blocker trial” – Wes Streeting has refused to intervene in an NHS puberty blocker trial despite concerns about children’s safety, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Keir Starmer’s EU reset risks £1 billion blow to farmers” – Tory MPs have warned Starmer not to throw home growers “under the bus” by agreeing to Europe’s restrictive agricultural terms, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Tory Minister backed ‘two-tier justice’ guidelines” – Gareth Bacon, a Tory Minister at the time, backed a draft of the Sentencing Council’s ‘two-tier justice’ rules in February 2024 despite his party now leading the backlash against them, documents obtained by the Telegraph reveal.
  • “Integration is a futile delusion when people cannot speak our language” – Migrant communities need to stop self-segregating and learn English, says Rakib Ehsan in the Telegraph.
  • “The ECHR is to blame for absurd immigration tribunals” – Leaving the court would allow us to reform our immigration law without judicial meddling, argues Guy Dampier in the Telegraph.
  • “The English city where a staggeringly high percentage of women are married to their cousins – and how it can have terrible consequences for their children, as Keir Starmer signals he will block laws seeking to ban the practice” – In Bradford nearly half (46%) of the female Pakistani community were in a ‘consanguineous relationship’ meaning they have a common ancestor, a 2024 study found, according to the Mail.
  • “A new era of science and dissent: Dr Jay Bhattacharya’s promise” – In TCW, Kathy Gyngell looks forward to the (likely) incoming NIH head clearing the swamp that the agency became in the Fauci years.
  • “The vindication of a heretic” – Jay Bhattacharya is right, says Brendan O’Neill in Spiked: ‘scientism’ is a menace to truth and liberty.
  • “Never forget that making Britain into a broke, repressive dystopia was a deliberate choice” – Just five years ago, our leaders doomed us to a spiral of decline by failing to stand up to lockdown fanatics, says Daniel Hannan in the Telegraph.
  • “A Democrat finally dared to tell the truth about trans women – and the Left are furious” – Trump’s liberal opponents will remain in the political wilderness until they accept that Gavin Newsom is not a bigot, he’s right, says the Telegraph‘s Michael Deacon.
  • “Welcomed to the UK: Palestinian asylum seeker gunman who called on God to ‘kill all Jews’, boasted about terrorising Israel and posed proudly with cache of weapons” – The Mail reports on a Gaza militant who has turned up in the UK on a small boat and is claiming asylum.
  • “Ozzy Osbourne among 200 stars accusing BBC of anti-Israel bias” – Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are among more than 200 entertainment industry figures who have accused the BBC of bias over its Gaza coverage, the Telegraph reports.
  • “Friends legend David Schwimmer turns on Hollywood pals over silence” – Friends star David Schwimmer has slammed Hollywood stars refusing to speak out against antisemitism, reports the Mail.
  • “Avoid ‘Eurocentric’ prayers to boost inclusion, says ‘anti-racist’ guide” – Christians should avoid “Eurocentric” prayers in order to be more inclusive, according to guidance from a Church of England diocese, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Britain blocks launch of Elon Musk’s self-driving Tesla” – Britain has thwarted the launch of Tesla’s self-driving car software, limiting key features and further risking the ire of Elon Musk, says the Telegraph.
  • “This Lent I will turn atheism to ashes” – In the Times, Giles Coren says that after growing up a godless Jew he is now surprised to be finding belief in a Christian church.
  • “The Allison Pearson scandal is more sinister than you think” – The police genuinely believe it’s their job to police our tweets, thoughts and feelings, says Fraser Myers in Spiked.
  • “How safe is the Letby verdict?” – New omissions have come to light, say David Rose and Cleuci de Oliveira in UnHerd.
