Reform U.K. has overtaken the Tories among over-55s, a new poll shows, as former Minister Nadine Dorries says the Conservative Party will "probably disappear" at the General Election.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast the talking points are whether Donald Trump was right to skip the debate, the presidential mugshot that broke the internet and Luis Rubiales vs the feminists.
In a major victory for free speech, the Online Safety Bill has been put on hold until the Autumn and may well never see the light of day again. This is, by some distance, the best news of the year.
The Government considered tearing “mothers and fathers and families and children” from their homes if they tested positive for Covid during lockdowns to be sent to isolation centres, a minister has admitted.
A group of senior Conservative figures, including Lord Frost, have written to Nadine Dorries urging her to ditch the 'legal but harmful' clause from the Online Safety Bill.
The concept of 'Legal but harmful' is a sneaky way of trying to restrict free speech and a departure from the fundamental principle of English law, which is that unless something is explicitly prohibited it is permitted.
The Online Safety Bill is a gold-embossed invitation to woke activists to censor their opponents in the name of protecting vulnerable people from 'harm'. Why is a Tory Government handing this weapon to its enemies?
The Government is launching a major review into whether the BBC is complying with 'impartiality requirements' after accusations of 'Islingtonian Left-wing bias'.
Watch my interview with Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster about the risks to free speech posed by the Online Safety Bill. We need to wake up to this threat before it's too late.
The Online Safety Bill is a missed opportunity. It's not that it will make social media companies even more likely to ban dissenters. It's that it doesn’t do enough to check the already rampant censoriousness of Big Tech.
