The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

5%

Examples:

  • It is extraordinary that the Labour movement can be so dismissive of what, in reality, are excellent companies.
  • Likewise, Amazon has made next day delivery of just about anything you can think of completely standard, creating vast wealth in the process. It might be worth pausing to consider what the entrepreneurs behind those successes had got right, but instead Labour's allies just want to destroy them.
  • The Government is planning an AI bill that appears likely to mimic the heavy-handed regulations recently implemented in the European Union. All it will do is smother a new industry in red tape, preventing entrepreneurial firms from emerging, and ensure that the winners in the industries that intelligent software will open up are all in the United States or China.
  • This will be the most anti-enterprise government the UK has experienced in 50 years.

  • We should be helping them do even better. Instead, Labour could be about to vindictively force them to be sold off, often to private equity firms that will bleed them of cash and then flog off the assets.
