Who are the EAs and what do they believe? Effective Altruism is an intellectual and lifestyle movement that came out of Oxford University in the late 2000s.

It is premised on the idea that our actions and the institutions we live under should chiefly be judged by their effects on total global happiness – or “utility.”

New in J’accuse: Reflections on the Kemi Badenoch worldview

[J’accuse @Jaccusepaper]

“The Badenoch leadership of Britain’s Conservative Party has been the only real political expression so far of Jordan Peterson, the TikTok ban, and a radicalized Niall Ferguson.”

Eminently sensible periodisation

[Theo Nash @theo_nash]

A century cannot be 190 years, historians need to be stopped.

[J. Sorel @JSorel1830]

@AndrewOrlowski The Strange Death of first as tragedy, then as farce

[J. Sorel @JSorel1830]

Trump has just banned this analogy by executive order

[Capel Lofft @CapelLofft]

There is something faintly comic about Britain wandering round trying to find international courts to surrender to just at the moment that the liberal order is clearly collapsing. It's real 'last Japanese soldier in the Jungle' stuff. We need to get real or the shit will get real

A piece for J'accuse: Why 1920s Britain turns ideas of 'Anywheres vs Somewheres' on their head

I am more 'positive' on the subject matter than the author is, who I suspect likes him more than he lets on, but still "based as usual" from The Hitch. I esp enjoyed: "By 1942 they were twanging their banjos for war."

[Daily Mail @DailyMail]

PETER HITCHENS: Like millions, I once wanted to be Bob Dylan. But the truth is that he was in thrall to Communists - and we were entranced as we hurried off to our moral doom https://t.co/BIK4skEjAH

[J. Sorel @JSorel1830]

@GreaterBritann1 @zionlaughed Few vote in these elections (because England has very weak regional identities), so these 'Regions' invariably get captured by provincial swindlers like Joe Anderson or local tyrants like Drakeford - the true 'Starmer class'

[J. Sorel @JSorel1830]

Concerning. The 'A New Britain' plan may be a go after all

[J. Sorel @JSorel1830]

@GarakObamna Not sure, I'll ask

[J. Sorel @JSorel1830]

Reader, I was there

[Giles Fraser @giles_fraser]

Lovely to have @RevRichardColes dropping his gentle wisdom, kindness and wit in Kew. I do love him. National treasure.

[J. Sorel @JSorel1830]

A new piece for the Daily Sceptic: The real story of the riots was of a newly-empowered faction of Ultras that saw 'Controlled Spontaneity' in response to tragedies as too liberal a concession. The result was general fiasco.

[The Daily Sceptic @LD_Sceptics]

In response to the summer riots, Sir Keir Starmer reached for the same tools that had carried him to Downing Street: barrack and bivouac, high-vis vest and collapsible truncheon. These proved ineffective, argues J Sorel. https://t.co/Izw3SQriWA

This is now free to read Xx

[The Daily Sceptic @LD_Sceptics]

The BBC is a hulking anachronism, says J. Sorel. The last of the great Departments of Information, a relic of an age of siege and conscription, sprawled across the national psyche like a huge rusting battleship. https://t.co/qdMa4C7f4t

[J. Sorel @JSorel1830]

Was pleased to return to The Sceptic to discuss how from 2019-24 policy issues were made nearly irrelevant by constitutional battles

[The Daily Sceptic @LD_Sceptics]

In Episode 10 of the Sceptic: Claire Fox on the Southport riots, James Alexander on Labour’s radical devolution agenda and J Sorel on the tyranny of the Blob.

Mark Drakeford has been appointed as Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care.

A new piece for the Daily Sceptic: We have not yet properly reckoned with the BBC's freakish hold over national life
