I agree with this @CapX analysis on London's night economy by @mimi_yates21. It needs remedial action urgently, and it's not primarily a problem that needs spending but a new approach and more forgiving regulation. capx.co/londons-nightl…

Gareth Roberts (@OldRoberts953) has done a big thing in his ‘Gay Shame: The Rise of Gender Ideology and the New Homophobia’. He’s captured how & why trans has split gays & lesbians, & forced a lot of us to reconsider our historic activism. Me in @CapX: capx.co/how-we-misunde…

CapX is 10! We were founded to make the case for markets, choice, innovation and freedom. Our ideas have never been more necessary - or imperilled. Thanks to @iainmartin1 @rcolvile @Chattysalerton @ollywiseman @JohnAshmore for making CapX what it is capx.co/weekly-briefin…
I would like to thank @CapX for finally getting me to the top of a search engine, even if I still have to avoid including my name.
I’ve written an assessment of the career of the late John Pilger. It’s titled “John Pilger was a charlatan and a fraudster”. Regrettably the facts do bear me out in this judgment. My thanks to @CapX for publishing it in full, for it is necessarily long. capx.co/john-pilger-wa…
@OliverKamm @CapX Definitive and damning. While working in Australian media I was continually surprised by how few people knew of Pilger’s many failings. His much praised reporting on indigenous affairs was every bit as biased & blinkered as his work on the numerous wars he misrepresented.
@OliverKamm @CapX A really excellent piece Oliver. In my younger days I was gulled by Pilger's work, but seeing him cosy up to the Syrian, Russian and Chinese regimes in real time made me question his older work and reconsider. Thank you for laying it all out.

Let's hope they are wrong and the babies were only shot. Would be so much better, eh?
The UK's newspapers are running front pages on reports that, as of yet, have not been corroborated or confirmed. Politicians are repeating the claim as gospel. The reports may be true – they may not be true – but it's irresponsible in the extreme to print before we know for sure!
