Dominic Cummings, one of the top media hate figures of the last few years, is out of the government. Even his enemies recognised him as an intellectual driving force that wanted to confront the elites, tear down bloated and ineffective bureaucracies and put in place something that was more fit for purpose. What was it all really about? And regardless of whether you love him or loathe him, is it actually good or bad that he’s now out of the picture?Let’s discuss.

It seems we have a problem. John Ioannidis said: “There is increasing concern that in modern research, false findings may be the majority or even the vast majority of published research claims.” Over 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiments. 52% agreed that there is a replication crisis. We live in a world right now where a lot of people say our public policy should “follow the science” in some very important areas – with big consequences. So it does matter that the science should be robust. How big is the problem? What causes it? And how can it be – and indeed is it being – addressed?

In the UK, we are now at the end of the big Easter period of action for Extinction Rebellion. It hit the headlines big time, got everybody talking. So was I right or wrong in my previous video, where I said that their approach was hurting, not helping? More importantly, what was the rather surprising element I learned since that video that most of the general public don't know, and even a good portion of those that took part in the protests probably don't either? Is Extinction Rebellion the best champion on climate change that we have? Or were they saved by the late appearance by Greta Thunberg? And what did their founder tell the former Russia Today TV channel that foreshadowed a lot of what was to follow?
