Stop painting discontented voters as unwitting saps or would-be extremists. Most of them are not taken in by 'fake news'. My latest piece. ⬇️ paulembery.com/p/the-misinfor…

Just bought this. Be very interested in what it has to say. 👍

Just saw that my old headmaster, who I haven’t seen or spoken to in over 30 years, posted this comment underneath an article I wrote, and it’s made my evening. 🦚

Our asylum system is utterly broken - exhibit #3267.

This was the scene in the Commons as Prime Minister’s Questions ended and Starmer was about to make his statement on Grenfell Tower. Extremely disappointing to see so many MPs leaving the chamber.

"In my experience, those who complain loudest about 'misinformation' tend to come from that milieu of bitter 'progressive' intellectuals who had it their own way for so long and simply cannot comprehend that things have turned against them." My latest. ⬇️ paulembery.com/p/the-misinfor…

Interesting. Lucy Letby has changed her legal team and plans a fresh appeal. Experienced criminal barrister Mark McDonald now represents her. “I knew almost from the start, following this trial, that there is a strong case that she is innocent,” he said. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Some are dismissing those raising concerns about the Lucy Letby conviction as 'armchair detectives'. In fact, many are the very opposite of armchair detectives: they are eminent doctors, scientists and statisticians. That's why such a head of steam is building up over the case.

'This is a very pressing issue for millions of voters whose patience is running out' Paul Embery discusses the pressure Labour is under to 'smash the gangs' smuggling illegal migrants to Britain.

'We are frankly utterly useless.' Broadcaster, Paul Embery, fumes over the 'serious' state of Britain after it's understood Labour is considering sending prisoners to Estonia amid the overcrowding crisis.

Nice of Trump to lend the Queen his hair.

No one can feel their way out of reality. I can no more pretend I’m ten & start racing children than a man can pretend he is a woman. It’s cheating in sport not to apply rules to categories based on truth.

I don’t believe anyone should be placed under moral pressure to sing a national anthem. The main thing is that they show respect when others are doing so. That’s all we should ask of anyone. theguardian.com/football/artic…

People flouncing off Twitter melodramatically- bidding farewell a la Evita - is one of the best reasons for staying on Twitter

Grenfell was not a result of mistakes within a good system. It was a result of a failed system, a system which Blair’s governments had more than a small hand in creating ✍️ Peter Apps spectator.co.uk/article/blairs…

Some personal reflections on the Grenfell Tower fire, and my thoughts about the findings of the public inquiry. ⬇️ paulembery.com/p/some-persona…

Blair doesn’t seem to realise that it was exactly this kind of arrogant, paternalistic attitude that helped bring about Brexit in the first place.

I've long argued that income and wealth inequalities disfigure our country and the rich should pay more in tax. But I was very uneasy about Labour's tax raid on private schools. This, by Dan Hitchens, has confirmed my belief that it is a very bad policy. spectator.co.uk/article/religi…
