‘Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, austere religious scholar at the helm of Islamic State, dies at 48’. No. Not an Onion spoof of the politically correct insanity of the left-liberal media, but an actual headline from the Washington Post.

Could there be any profession less eco-friendly than Formula 1 motor-racing? Dutch F1 driver Max Verstappen doesn’t think so. And now he is taking a stand against those of his competitors who have come over all green and squeamish about the ethical implications of motor sport.

So Britain won’t, after all, be getting Brexit by Hallowe’en, do or die.

President Trump has confirmed that the U.S. is definitely going to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. Good!

“I don’t think people should fly just for the hell of it,” says veteran wildlife documentary maker Sir David Attenborough.

Princess Pushy — aka former Suits actress Meghan Markle; aka the current Duchess of Sussex; aka Prince Harry’s missus — has been telling anyone who’ll listen how tough it is being a member of Britain’s Royal Family.

James Lovelock, the world’s most distinguished environmentalist, has come out against Extinction Rebellion (XR).

Finally, Britain stands on the brink of Brexit victory, writes James Delingpole – but he isn’t talking about Boris Johnson’s new deal…

Today is International Pronouns Day. Just in case you weren’t aware of it, here’s a senior British police officer explaining its significance…

Till any deal is done and dusted there’s almost no point in discussing the latest Brexit shenanigans, let alone in attempting to make any predictions of what will happen next.

Every year the government takes £340 out of your household budget so that creepy crony capitalist Dale Vince can chop up more birds and bats with his wind turbines and bankroll his vegetarian football club.

School drop-out, global irritant, and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Greta Thunberg has found yet another cause to badger us with: saving the world’s trees.

At the Extinction Rebellion protests in London this week, a bedwetting greenie grabbed my shoulder, pushed me and told me he hoped I’d never have ****ing kids and that if I ever did they’d ****ing hate me forever.

Chris Packham, the joyless, dead-eyed, animal rights campaigner is happy because a  200-year old hunt has been bullied into extinction.

I was so pleased to meet just about the world’s only sensible Greenie, Mike Shellenberger. Shellenberger used to be a deep green activist – pushing heavily for renewables – but then saw the light.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has just gifted the United Kingdom a No Deal Brexit. (Thank you, Mutti!) Heaven knows whether this is what Merkel intended to do when she let it be known that a Brexit deal is ‘overwhelmingly unlikely’. But this,

If you fear Western Civilisation is falling apart and that all our institutions have been corrupted beyond measure by fashionable leftist idiocies and plain dumbed-down incompetence, then really, really don’t read the report published today by London’s Metropolitan Police.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has dismissed climate activist Greta Thunberg as a ‘poorly informed teenager.’

The eco-fascist campaign group Extinction Rebellion just tried to spray 1,800 litres of fake blood at a government building in London. It backfired horribly.

Boris Johnson is never better than when he is being Boris Johnson – forever looking for the comedic angle, always in search of a more memorably silly turn of phrase, never quite able to play at being the grown up in the room even though he’s now Prime Minister and that’s supposedly his job.

The eco-fascist campaign group Extinction Rebellion tells us there is a ‘climate emergency’. So too do all Britain’s main political parties. So too do UK government bodies such as the Committee on Climate Change and the Environment Agency.

Thousands of Dutch farmers are heading en masse to the Netherlands capital, the Hague, to protest against environmental policies being inflicted on them by their coalition government.

Apart from their ongoing difficulties delivering Brexit, by far the biggest worry about Boris Johnson’s Conservatives is their craven subservience to the green sky fairy.

I agree with Douglas Murray: in twenty years’ time we’re going to look back on this era as an age of insanity and wonder how it was that so many people could possibly have been so stupid. Our political class especially.

Here’s a thought to brighten up your weekend: all this identity politics lunacy which has taken hold of our culture — the pussy hats, the Black Lives Matter race-baiting, the trans-gender hysteria — it has a sell-by date and it’s going to come to an end.

Author Douglas Murray is gay, but in an interview with James Delingpole he reveals he doesn’t think much of Gay Pride. No, siree!

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has an embarrassing problem. Her name is Rachel Johnson and she is his sister.

Arthur Scargill — bane of Margaret Thatcher, architect of the early 1980s miners’ strike, hard-left trade union leader — has come out for Brexit.

“The last time we were in territory like this it was decided by civil war” — one thing I love about British constitutional historian and national treasure David Starkey is that he’s never knowingly understated, writes James Delingpole.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made his first speech in parliament since yesterday’s shock ruling by the Supreme Court – and he wasn’t in the mood for taking any prisoners.

The 11 justices of the Supreme Court are subject to little such scrutiny. Hitherto, Britain’s political and legal institutions have been run and regulated on the basis that their denizens will act in good faith, rather than – like the Supreme Court today – like activists for their preferred political cause.

Let’s not waste time poring over the legal niceties of its decision. This is a coup by the judicial establishment, the vast majority of which happens to be comprised of shameless, doctrinaire Remainers.

Eton has produced some of the most squishy, politically-correct, Remainer surrender monkey sellouts in the entirety of the Establishment, including the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby; Woke Prince Harry; Dave Cameron…

Environment Canada – the federal environment agency in Canada – has erased a century’s worth of observed temperature data, claiming its modelled computer projections are more accurate.

Across the Western world tens of thousands of brainwashed kids are bunking off school in what has misleadingly been described as a ‘Climate Strike.’

Something terrible has happened to the UK news cycle. Has there been a glitch in the space-time continuum? Is it like the final scene of Terminator II being played out in 3-D?
