Graham Linehan, Tom Slater and Fraser Myers discuss Keir Starmer’s slipperiness on the trans issue, non-crime hate incidents and St George Was Turkish Day.

Is it still possible in the West to openly discuss Islam, or even the crimes committed by a small number of Muslims? Blasphemy laws have arrived in Europe to placate Islamic fundamentalists. A fear of being called racist has allowed grooming gangs to run amok. Anti-Semitism has also surged, as Islamist narratives have dominated the West’s debate over the Israel-Hamas war. Here, Kunwar Khuldune Shahid, a Pakistani journalist working for the Diplomat, warns that Western liberalism, secularism and tolerance are all on the line.

Transwomen are not women and sex is biological. So says a landmark ruling on gender from the UK Supreme Court. Here, Helen Joyce – director of advocacy at Sex Matters – explains how the judgment kills off a raft of ‘trans inclusive’ policies, reasserts biological reality and protects women’s rights.

European industry is in freefall, and Net Zero is to blame. Here, climate economist Bjorn Lomborg – author of Best Things First and False Alarm – explains how panic over climate change is doing far more damage than climate change itself. Swapping cheap and dependable fossil fuels for unreliable and expensive renewables costs our economies trillions, but for little environmental gain, Lomborg says. Plus, he tackles the myth of the ‘climate apocalypse’ and explains why there are more polar bears than ever.

Vladimir Putin is often said to have a tsar-like grip on Russia. He is apparently so powerful that he even has Donald Trump in his pocket. Here, historian and Russia expert Mark Galeotti – author of Forged in War – explains why Putin actually faces far greater challenges than the West seems to realise, from the internal threats to his rule to the war’s rising costs and waning public support. Mark also discusses how the West betrayed Ukraine long before Trump’s arrival.
