The U.S. has an interest in a strong NATO. But we won’t have a strong NATO if we're not honest with our allies.

The U.S. military isn’t sized to fight China & Russia simultaneously. So if we're going to prioritize China, then our allies must take the lead in Europe’s defense. 1/

Civilisation is built on fragile norms. Gender ideology has undermined the apex norm of the protection of women and children rooted in a demonstrable disparity in sexual violence and pushed in the safe spaces of uni lecture halls and public sector bureaucracies. Shameful.

Good to see Boris Johnson renew his support for 🇨🇦 membership of . Interesting to hear him explain why Canada wasn’t included in the first place.

Labour would do well to note the contrast between its shameful position and the outrage expressed by the liberal Prime Minister of Belgium on today’s attempts at political censorship.

An extraordinary story of a globally government-funded censorship machine cracking down on factually accurate but 'adversarial disinformation' that challenges regime narratives with Freddie Sayers at UnHerd. Chilling! youtube.com/watch?v=ILEMV0…

This tweet below is not really about Labour’s business policy.
What they’re signalling is their enthusiasm for a more racialised society…where your ethnicity, matters more than your values.

It is tribal politics. I grew up in a country consumed by this. It never ends well.

Make no mistake, inspired by America's identity poison & desperate to recoup the ethno-credits lost by Gaza but on which its vote relies, the next Labour govt. will use race to grind divisions into the social fabric of this country the like of which we have not seen for decades.

The ideological capture of UCU means that is now all but impossible for a scientist to be a member. This is a grave concern for anyone who cares about the employment conditions of academics.

The Foreign Office has - and should have - no mission beyond advancing the national interest. There’s a rich debate about how widely to conceive of that (e.g. if enough Britons care about humanitarian relief, has it become an interest?). But the “Dept for a Nicer World” it ain’t.

If Canada joins AUKUS, it will be driven by its natural fit but also the conceptual case for its inclusion. I am delighted to have worked with Alexander Gray, Dr Radomir Tylecote 🇬🇧 🇮🇱 and Legatum Institute on helping build that case. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Crucial point on trans and schools from Doug Stokes. The British people have seen through government by headline. If ministers don't work out how to run the blob, they are just showmen.
