After our great successes in dealing with the Covid crisis, why not deal with the pothole crisis in the same way? Here's what that could look like.

Boris Johnson was secretly nudged into wearing a mask, according to the head of the Government's 'nudge unit', who says he turned his powers of persuasion on the PM after "it became clear he was not leading by example".

SAGE and the UKHSA have decided to stop publishing projections of deaths and hospitalisations from COIVID-19 in an attempt to treat it the same way as other viruses.

In our supposedly liberal and transparent democratic country, it seems that it was a group of remote and unnamed scientists, outside of SAGE, who effectively imposed masks on British citizens, writes Dr Gary Sidley.

Grant Shapps has claimed he had to do his own research and bring his spreadsheets to Cabinet meetings to counter the skewed information being supplied by SAGE and block plans for a Covid lockdown last Christmas.

Rishi Sunak has given an interview to the Spectator in which he claims to have been the only true lockdown sceptic in the Cabinet. “We shouldn’t have empowered the scientists the way he did,” he says.

Sir Patrick Vallance is stepping down as the Govt's Chief Scientific Officer. The Daily Sceptic looks back at his record over the past two-and-a-half years and it’s not great. If only we'd had Anders Tegnell instead.

Susan Michie, a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain and a leading participant in SAGE's SP-1 group, has been promoted to Chair of the WHO’s nudge unit.

Communist SAGE advisor Susan Michie has warned that the leaderless Tories will 'sit on their hands' and 'let Covid rip'. If by that she means another lockdown won't be imposed in the near future, then thank God for that.

The UK relied too much on "very scary" SAGE models to decide on lockdowns, according to the man behind some of those very projections who repeatedly called for longer lockdowns.
