Children who started school during the pandemic will have worse exam results well into the next decade after losing six crucial months of learning, a new report from the London School of Economics has found. dailysceptic.org/2024/04/25/loc…
Last Sunday, Chris Packham made a false and defamatory allegation on the BBC about the team behind the Daily Sceptic, claiming they had "close affiliations to the fossil fuel industry". The BBC then signal-boosted it. 😡 dailysceptic.org/2024/04/25/my-…
LOCKDOWN HARMS: “They terrorised us… My sister was dying, because of the fear of God everyone put into her (over Covid), I couldn’t say my goodbyes” Lockdowns were a huge policy failure, which must be acknowledged and never repeated @cristo_radio @DrHoenderkamp #Covid
Headline in the Guardian - "Pupils in England ‘facing worst exam results in decades’ after Covid closures" And who cheered on these horrifically damaging restrictions at every turn, @guardian? Millions of children were utterly failed by lockdowns. Not projections, reality.
Alcohol-related deaths surging is a consequence of lockdown, not COVID. We trapped people in their homes, took away so much of what they loved and cut off support networks. Lockdown poisoned this country - we will suffer the effects for many more years. dailymail.co.uk/health/article…
All of us called “Covid deniers” warned what the cost of closing schools for prolonged periods would be. Most of the media cheered on those ruinous policies with the tragic results we are now seeing. A generation of kids will be suffering for years to come.

There is, sadly, no Big Oil money sloshing around to handsomely remunerate climate sceptical journalism. But on the other side, the green prophets of doom are doing very well out of the whole thing, says Ben Pile. dailysceptic.org/2024/04/23/pro…
The Church of England announced £100m in reparations for profiting from the slave trade. But now a historian has shown this is a mistake: the church never profited from slavery. Will the woke ever get their history right? dailysceptic.org/2024/04/23/chu…

Hear, hear for suspended food tariffs The tariff suspensions are definitely a step in the right direction. My main criticism would be why is this only a temporary suspension and why aren’t the many other foods not produced in the UK also on the list? briefingsforbritain.co.uk/hear-hear-for-…
"Chris Stark: Rishi Sunak has set us back, head of climate change watchdog says." Time to close down the Climate Change Committee. Pathetic posturing. The UK accounts for less than 1% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Does China (for example) care? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
COVID: "Boris Johnson breaking the rules shows the rules were absurd in the first place" We say #NeverAgain to Lockdowns This was a disaster, which must be acknowledged and never repeated
With @covidinquiryuk dragging on for years, and only asking 'why they should have locked us down earlier'... Let's not forget what they did to us! We say #NeverAgain to inhumane, daft restrictions on every aspect of our lives No future overreach in the name of ‘safety’
Good point made..

Conservative backbenchers have accused the government of being “out of touch” with the country on Net Zero policy. @andreajenkyns branded it “economic madness” and said “we must put the British taxpayer first”, while @AndrewRosindell said “a lot of people simply cannot afford…
It would be nice to think that pointing to the actual scientific data would put an end to all the climate chaos nonsense. But it won’t, because this ain’t about science: it's class warfare, says Martin Durkin. dailysceptic.org/2024/04/18/cli…
Depriving young boys of what they love, trapping them inside, starving them of social contact? We don't need academic studies to outline the horrendous effect that lockdown had on millions of children. This was obvious then and many of us said exactly so at the time.
Do you think that the constant catastrophising of weather and climate in science and the media has just appeared by accident? In fact, a few fanatical billionaires are bankrolling the propaganda, says Chris Morrison. dailysceptic.org/2024/04/16/the…

At last the Energy authorities see the dangers of making us dependent on imports. So why didn’t they listen when some of us warned them to keep more back up power available, to produce more UK gas and be self sufficient?
Study: "The U.S. would be producing between 2 and 3 million more barrels of oil a day and between 20 and 25 more billion cubic feet of natural gas under the Trump policies." justthenews.com/politics-polic… via @JustTheNews
It's hard to keep up with all this! Apparently, #KwasiKwarteng's #miniBudget was both reckless in cutting income tax and irresponsible for not reversing the increases in income tax (via #fiscaldrag) implemented by (*checks notes*) #RishiSunak... 🤷♂️
NEW: For every £1 given to households through the high-profile cuts to taxes, £2 is being taken away in the stealthy freezes to tax and benefit thresholds. Read @TomWatersEcon and Tom Wernham’s @NuffieldFound-funded #IFSGreenBudget chapter> ifs.org.uk/publications/r… THREAD: [1/8]

How have the markets reacted to the recent news about Covid-19 vaccinations? What are the UK’s economic prospects as Brexit approaches? Co-CIO Gregory Perdon is answering these questions and more tomorrow on Bloomberg Radio: 6.50am-7.00am and Bloomberg TV: 7.10am-7.30am.

A full 101 days after Brexit, a commemorative 50p has finally turned up in the change. I had started to think the “Brexit 50ps” - which I personally saw being struck at the Royal Mint - were an elaborate hoax. Anyone else still scouring their change for their first one?
Tomorrow is VE Day! We won't be able to mark it in the way we would have liked, but we'll still come together to remember, commemorate and celebrate. A major milestone & thank you to all those who gave so much for our freedoms. #VEDAY75 🇬🇧
Five years ago today was #GE2015 when I was first elected #MP for #SouthThanet. Two further elections, three Prime Ministers & #Brexit referendum. Painful court case & acquittal, new baby. It’s been a journey! My thanks to my wife @MadiKatiuk who’s been my rock throughout.
So true. What entreprenuers need is a free market. One sign that big firms are trying to create barriers to entry is hiring ex-politicians to lobby for them....
The EU have agreed to a Brexit extension as expected, but if anything this now just adds to the current market uncertainty. Read this week's Treasury Market Commentary bit.ly/2KvVcTK
