Taxing the rich at a higher rate than the poor to pay for public services is entirely appropriate and most governments around the world do it. But fretting endlessly about inequality doesn’t make much sense.

Britain’s leading scientific journal, Nature, has published an article declaring that public health "has not been politicised nearly enough" and must therefore be "aggressively" politicised. Yes, you read that right.

Macron claims that Russia is an “existential threat” to Europe. Yet his actions belie this. France has given Ukraine 12 times less aid than Denmark. And it's still importing billions of euros of Russian energy.

A paper documenting the association between Left-wing views and poor mental health has been retracted on trumped-up grounds. One of the complaints is that the authors used "judgemental language".

Young men are increasingly voting for the Right, while young women are increasingly voting for the Left. What explains this? A Norwegian study finds that its largely due to shifting attitudes to "gender equality".

A new survey has found that conservative academics are still much more likely to self-censor. More than half said they "hide their political beliefs from other faculty in an attempt to keep their jobs".

European gas prices recently went above €58 per megawatt hour – the equivalent of $100 per barrel of oil. This is "absolutely destructive for energy-intensive manufacturing", in the words of one industry analyst.

A new study shows that Germans substantially underestimate the number of asylum seekers in Germany. This contradicts the Left-wing narrative according to which people oppose immigration because they're misinformed.

Does the psychology literature reflect reality? Thousands of studies have been published claiming this effects that and that affects this, and so on. But how many of these effects are actually real?

Are people who eat organic food really as virtuous as they think? A new academic paper has found that, in fact, they score higher on the 'dark triad' traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy.

One figure that has been repeatedly cited in the grooming gangs debate is that 1 in 73 Muslim men in the town of Rotherham has been prosecuted for grooming gang offences. However, this figure is slightly misleading.

Science, nominally the most prestigious scientific journal in the world, is at it again. In November, they published an editorial saying that scientists need to be even more political than they already are.
