A remarkable report commissioned by the Scottish Covid Inquiry goes off-narrative and savages lockdowns and vaccines, saying there is no evidence they helped.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast the talking points are Boris Johnson quitting Parliament, Trump being indicted on federal charges and the BBC's war on 'disinformation'.
In this week's London Calling, the main topic is the extraordinary coincidence of three figures who’ve dominated politics for a decade suffering reversals of fortune in one week: Trump, Boris and Sturgeon.
Police Scotland has confirmed that a 52 year-old woman has been arrested as part of its ongoing investigations into the SNP's finances. Who on earth could it be?
Nicola Sturgeon has denied the SNP is in crisis as the party was forced to admit that more than 40% of its members have quit and her self-ID gender reforms were blamed for a recent mass exodus.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast the talking points are the ruination of Roald Dahl, the lampooning of Harry and Meghan and the chilling growth of woke AI.
Nicola Sturgeon was one of the West's most authoritarian leaders, an enemy of free speech and someone who had no qualms about turning her country into a temporary dictatorship during the pandemic. Thank God she's going.
