Trans actvists really need to read the room. A group called ‘Pissed Off Trannies’ staged a urine-soaked protest yesterday outside the Equality and Human Rights Commission. This was a new low for the trans lobby, says

Forget the caricature of the ‘racist’ Tories. Truss’s cabinet doesn’t have a single white man in the great offices of state. And it’s only the woke left – smearing these politicians as coconuts – who seem to be bothered by this, says

When was the last time you saw a bobby on the beat? Police have given up on patrolling our streets. They now take days to turn up at scenes of violent crimes. They are too busy fighting the culture wars to fight crime, says

Composer Christian Henson tweeted his support for JK Rowling on Monday. Less than 24 hours later, Spitfire Audio, the company he co-founded, denounced him and said he was ‘taking a break’. In other news, cancel culture is still definitely a myth.

I feel sick to the stomach for the poor souls in China continuing to live through the dystopian hell of Zero Covid.
Shame on Jeremy Hunt, Jacinda Ardern, Devi Sridhar, Nicola Sturgeon and every other western leader who championed such an insane philosophy.

One tweet in support of JK Rowling. That is all it took for composer Christian Henson to be ostracised by his own company. It took less than a day for mob justice to be meted out. And still we’re told that cancel culture doesn’t exist, says

Enoch Burke's case is complex. His refusal to use a pupil's preferred pronouns wasn't what landed him in jail. But as points out, matters only escalated to that point "because adherence to trans ideology is now entirely non-negotiable".

Meghan’s self-obsession knows no bounds. She used a speech yesterday to describe herself as the ‘present and the future’. Her speech was supposed to be about gender equality. But it was all about her, says Tim Black

Remember Britain’s Zero Covid lobby? These were the experts and politicians who said we should stay locked down until Covid is eliminated. Well, they’re doing that in China and it is an Orwellian nightmare. Covid fanaticism is lethal, says Brendan O’Neill

Unboxed, or the invisible “Festival of Brexit” has been getting loads of stick for wokery. That’s true, but it isn’t the worst thing about it.
It’s the complete cop-out from making art.
You have to bring your own🤦♂️

“Liz Truss will lead a government in which none of the great offices of state will be occupied by a white man. Those who say the Tories are covert white nationalists need to stop. They are poisoning public life with this unhinged racial politics”

We are far too dismissive of children’s need for fathers. Dads are often viewed as an irrelevance at best or a toxic influence at worst. The nuclear family is dying. To save it, we’ll need to start valuing fathers again, says

George Orwell was right. England’s intelligentsia would rather steal from the poor box than show any sign of patriotism. No wonder the ‘Festival of Brexit’ has been so dire. The events have no connection whatsoever to Britain, writes

A row over preferred pronouns has landed an Irish teacher in prison. First, he was suspended for refusing to use trans pronouns. When he refused to accept the suspension, he was sent to prison. This is where trans ideology has taken us, says

Millions of Chinese people are still in lockdown. Some are imprisoned in their homes. Kids with Covid have been removed from their parents. People are running out of food. The ideology of lockdown is insane. Why did we ever do it?, asks Brendan O’Neill

The war in Ukraine has no end in sight. For Russia and Ukraine, it is an existential fight. Meanwhile, many in the West are exploiting it for their own ends. The US wants to use the war to revive its global dominance. This is dangerous, says

The ‘Festival of Brexit’ has been an almighty flop. Its events have encouraged Britons to grow vegetables, to communicate with the moon and to enjoy drag artists. Our arts establishment has screwed us once again, says @AndrewOrlowski

Another Eurozone crisis is looming. Inflation is rocketing and the Euro’s value is at rock bottom. And Germany is in far too much trouble to come to the rescue. Make no mistake, the collapse of the Eurozone is a real possibility, says Sabine Beppler-Spahl

Dads have been demonised for decades. They're seen as irrelevant and easily replaceable. Or worse, they’re viewed as a toxic influence or even a threat to children. No wonder the nuclear family is in trouble, says
