Nonsense from William Hague, sorry. The arguments against digital ID are very serious and go to the heart of what a free society is. I set some of this out in June šŸ‘‡ but many others have too at much greater length. https://t.co/v6RQbLTMwH

Arguments against digital ID are paper thin. The reality is most voters now back them. The Prime Minister should have the courage to embrace them in full.

Porsche is the latest car company to delay the switch over to all battery cars. Government needs to catch up. Individual car buyers by a big majority are not going to buy a battery car anytime soon.

Rather than roll the pitch for the Chancellor to break her promises, Labour’s ā€˜house elves’ at the Resolution Foundation should apply themselves to cuts to government spending - starting with the bloated bill for working age welfare.

So 90% of Britons reject the idea of recognising Palestine. Yet Keir Starmer is only interested in the tiny majority of Muslim and hard-left voters who are threatening to abandon Labour. Weak and shameful. Totally unfit to lead our great country. https://t.co/yaVnG97Pbz

Indeed. Hopefully this marks the beginning of the end of the British Labour Party as a party of government. The day it put Muslim & Pakistani sectarianism above basic political morality & the national interest. The British population are rightly repulsed.

The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland has changed its foreign policy today, in an attempt to desperately cling onto sectarian votes. Rewarding a proscribed terrorist organisation for murder, rape and abduction. A sordid day in our history.

The shocking thing is that the President-Elect is not an aberration. Extreme wokeness is normal. There is an unwritten rule that you should have protected characteristics to be an officer - a rule that reflects the shifting demographics of the electorate.

Promote and hire only on merit. Treat staff and suppliers as you would wish to be treated. Delight customers and be fair to your shareholders. 😱The countries out-competing Britain don’t tie their businesses up in ESG red tape. šŸŖ“Time for the chainsaw.

@afneil You’re a bit behind Andrew. They’ve already built the extension and now bought a bigger villa beside Lake Como all on the back of the Covid enquiry and HS2. Also some barristers have left the profession to become tube drivers.

And I see it at school level. Those of us paying attention in education are not surprised by the moral degeneracy that is now on display for us all to see. We have been warning about this for decades. But even now, so many still aren’t listening.

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, many were shocked to see people celebrate killing someone for mainstream conservative views. I’m not. As a professor, I saw the ideology that taught ā€œdisagreement = harmā€ take over higher ed. This is the endgame of that lesson. 🧵
