    When the White House announces that there is an “epidemic of violence against trans people” what does that even mean? It’s language used to signal virtue rather than describe anything with precision — and it’s coming from the most powerful office in the world.

    Quite amazing how the Omicron wave surged and then turned around at almost the same time across so many countries — almost as if it paid no attention to their divergent policies...

    Suddenly the @guardian is all over the lockdown harms stories. Where were you at the time? Your unthinking moralistic enforcement of lockdowns helped create the very problems that you are now reporting as news 😡

    The best way for Boris to turn his polls around is to make a big ‘time of living in fear is over’ speech, immediately end remaining Covid restrictions, require every covid related sign to be removed and announce that England is open for business and back to life.

    Here is the full length video report into the mysterious 'Global Disinformation Index' and how it censors political speech across Europe and the US. Please share widely, more people need to know.

    Prof Sir John Curtice lays out some brutal facts to put this Labour landslide into perspective: — Labour’s vote share in England has *stayed the same* since the last election — Most of the Tory losses are explained by former Tory voters choosing Reform — Keir Starmer has won

    Literally in the same speech from the PM: "It is now clear that two doses of the vaccine are simply not enough to give the level of protection we all need" Then: vaccine passports for nightclubs and large events, with double-vaccinated exempt from requirement to test 🤔

    This exchange shows how close to a propaganda state we got during Covid. The media taking direct orders from their chums in government to stoke fear and “demand” for virus services that wasn’t there. #lockdownfiles

    WTAF. @YouTube has taken down our interview with @ProfKarolSikora - Professor of Medicine at @UniOfBuckingham, former advisor to WHO - presumably for sounding too optimistic about Covid-19. This really is getting sinister.

    "Judge me in a year," he told me in summer 2020. One year on, Swedish Covid chief Anders Tegnell returned to @UnHerd to look back at lessons of the pandemic. He was modest and cautious, but his overall message was clear: Sweden got it right. 👇👇👇

    What a calamity that he can say this and be entirely correct
    The Taliban spokesman got a question about freedom of speech and he said the question should be asked to US companies like Facebook who claim to promote it while still censoring

    However sympathetic you are to the populist cause, however “realist” on Ukraine, it is impossible to defend the head of the world’s most powerful nation putting out reckless semi-literate screeds like this

    Wowses. Ex Greek finance minister @yanisvaroufakis tells me Suella Braverman should be "expelled" from the UK for starting this "misanthropic, stupid debate" about immigration — that she is a "ridiculous idiot" and a "poor excuse for human nature"😳 unherd.com/thepost/yanis-…

    Latest from Neil Ferguson and Imperial estimates Omicron as intrinsically 70% less severe than Delta. Quite a difference from their 16th Dec report to SAGE: "We find no evidence of Omicron having different severity from Delta." No mention of why they got it so wrong before.
