News Round-Up

by Toby Young
13 April 2025 12:57 AM

  • “We need to wake up to the tragedy of British Steel” – The Labour Government’s Net Zero absolutism is undermining our national security and economic self-sufficiency, writes Suella Braverman in the Telegraph.
  • “British Steel exposes the madness of Net Zero” – The sooner British Steel returns to the private sector, the better for its employees and the taxpayer, says the Telegraph in a leader column.
  • “Decline of coal raised electricity costs – and shattered our steel industry” – Port Talbot, Redcar, the dramatic attempt to rescue Scunthorpe: it can all be traced back to energy prices, says Jim Armitage in the Times.
  • “Royal Navy on alert to escort shipment in steel crisis” – The Royal Navy may be mobilised after parliament voted to seize control of Scunthorpe plant, according to the Times.
  • “British strength was built on steel, Net Zero is emasculating us” – Continuing to pursue unrealistic climate change targets will impoverish the UK to little benefit, writes Robert Tombs in the Telegraph.
  • “A US trade deal is within Starmer’s grasp, and it won’t mean chlorinated chicken” – When it comes to trade, our Prime Minister has not put a foot wrong – and Tories should not be afraid to admit it, writes Dan Hannan in the Telegraph.
  • “Huge Trump tariff U-turn will exempt iPhone and laptops” – An update from customs officials quietly published last night reveals that Trump has decided to exempt Apple’s products from his Chinese tariffs, reports the Mail.
  • “Trump is giving Britain the chance to take back control” – The UK can be the global superpower we once were – but first we need to expunge the country’s ‘declinist’ mentality, writes David Ross in the Times.
  • “If ‘white privilege’ is real, answer me this” – Stop forcing our police to parrot Left-wing rubbish on race, says Michael Deacon in the Telegraph.
  • “Kemi Badenoch accuses police forces of ‘social engineering’” – The Tory leader says she believes in “meritocracy, not race-based quotas” after a police force has been exposed for prioritising ethnic minority candidates, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Police chief wants to ‘discriminate against white job applicants’” – Chief Constable John Robins of West Yorkshire Police has consistently pushed to reform laws across the country to boost the number of ethnic minorities in his force, reports the Mail.
  • “Diversity drive increases police force’s ethnicity pay gap” – The policy of West Yorkshire Police to prioritise the recruitment of black officers means its racial pay gap is increasing, according to the Telegraph.
  • “How ‘positive action’ in police recruitment became anti-white discrimination” – Diversity schemes like the one exposed this week by the Telegraph threaten to create division among an already demoralised force, writes Ian Acheson.
  • “Expect rampant ‘white flight’ from our urban areas as the state turns against us” – A never-ending stream of reports about state-sanctioned, anti-white racism have become a wrecking ball against the prospect of a harmonious society, says Patrick O’Flynn on his Substack.
  • “It is beyond time to end anti-white racism” – The colour of one’s skin should have no relevance in a job application. Sadly that is not the case in today’s Britain, writes Robert Jenrick in the Telegraph.
  • “Manchester Arena terrorist ‘attacks prison officers with cooking oil’” – Hashem Abedi, the brother of the Manchester Arena bomber, “threw hot cooking oil then started stabbing with makeshift weapons”, says the Mail.
  • “Our broken immigration system is endangering our high streets” – Too many barber shops in the country are used as “fronts” for illegal activity, according to Rakib Ehsan in the Telegraph.
  • “Illegal migrants used to repair EDF solar farm” – Immigration officers have arrested 16 people for working without permits on an Anglesey solar form, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Home Office staff sent on Swedish dog massage course” – The Home Office is spending taxpayers’ money on ridiculous perks for its staff, including puzzles and play pits for dogs, according to the Telegraph.
  • “Hamas lawyers must be struck off, says Robert Jenrick” – The Shadow justice secretary has called for “a thorough and transparent investigation” of Riverway Law, which is representing Hamas in a case against the British Government, reports the Telegraph.
  • “Women’s rights to be prioritised in equality law revamp” – Radical overhaul follows concerns about trans people using single-sex spaces, says the Telegraph. Take with pinch of salt.
  • “‘Ed Miliband’s solar blitz has ruined my life’” – ‘Wild west’ planning rules threaten to turn countryside cottages into solar islands, according to Jonathan Leake in the Telegraph.
  • “Ed Miliband has carbon footprint 12 times the size of average Briton’s” – “Do as I say, not as I do” appears to be the motto of Ed Miliband, reports the Mail.
  • “Net zero ‘is destroying the Church of England’” – A Telegraph investigation reveals that the CofE’s commitment to cut carbon emissions is leaving rural churches out in the cold.
  • “Is there no humiliation too great for Ed Miliband?” – The Energy Secretary keeps having his net zero aspirations scuppered by reality, says Stephen Pollard in the Telegraph.
  • “Hidden email casts doubt on Lucy Letby verdict” – The case against nurse Lucy Letby is collapsing, according to UnHerd.
  • “Kemi Badenoch: I didn’t become Tory leader to hand it to Reform” – Pinned in by Nigel Farage and overshadowed by the chaos of Donald Trump, the Conservative leader doesn’t assume voters will come back to her party, reports the Times.
  • “The UK’s once-great universities are now in a race to the bottom” – As any Cambridge mathematics professor will surely attest, grade inflation plus scrapped rankings equals lower attainment, writes Camilla Tominey in the Telegraph.
  • “‘I taught 16-year-olds. Starmer is wrong to give them the vote’” – Teachers, parents and even many teenagers themselves think the voting age shouldn’t be lowered, says a former teacher in the Telegraph.
  • “Transport minister sparks police probe for ‘texting at wheel’” – Lord Hendy is said to have reported himself to the Met over using his phone while driving his routemaster during a charity event, says the Mail.
  • “Nigel Farage helps a protestor fill a pothole with flowers” – The always funny Accidental Partridge account on X highlights a recent publicity stunt in which the leader of Reform UK helped an anti-pothole protestor.

“The first case of the viral disease in the U.S. was diagnosed in a traveler who returned to Massachusetts from Canada last month.”

This is the final statement in the Breitbart article.

“The first case…”

One bloody case. ONE!

For crying out loud!

My GP has confirmed that I have a case of Monkey Pox. Asked me if I can swing by on Monday to collect a prescription.

(this is a joke, btw. I haven’t seen a GP at my GP’s surgery since 2017)

It’s ‘funny’ that illustrations for negative issues are allowed to feature white heterosexuals (ok, one female looks brownish), despite this particular one reported as being connected to alphabet people activity.

It is all part of the depopulation narrative. No to families, yes to full term abortions, and plenty of encouragement for ‘Up the bum, no babies’. Our young are being indoctrinated to think having children is a selfish act that will kill us all. Its evil propaganda.

If this appeared in a satirical comic strip it would be absolutely hilarious. Equally amusing would be the emergence of this on April 1st. Unfortunately neither are true.
I do hope there is a toilet roll made with this graphic printed on it.

I thought it was a spoof until I read the article. As someone said this is the Age of Stupid and the clowns are in control.

Why is the couple in the ‘cartoon’ white and heterosexual when the disease seems to be found in a very different population? Is the blame for the spread of monkey pox being shifted onto white heterosexuals?
