Sign up to Jonny's substack. The Labour government has a super majority in Britain’s House of Commons, the sixth biggest of all time, similar to Tony Blair’s in 1997 - but that makes it prone to backbench rebellion. Even within its first year of government. As we’ve seen. And as Sir Keir Starmer failed to win support to get his original welfare bill over the line, with big U turns on an inquiry into grooming gangs and winter fu...

178: Yoram Ettinger: how many Palestinians are REALLY in Judea & Samaria and Gaza?

February 26, 2025 • 42 mins

You can help me with a coffee here. "There are two million Palestinians in Gaza!", they cry. All the time. It's repeated as fact.

So is it time to establish real facts about population and childbirth? Where is the population momentum?...
