Our thanks to Jeff for this good news. An extract, pure BS:

“Rachel Reeves backs it and says the economy could be boosted by £250billion if women were able to start and scale businesses at the same rate as men. [J4MB: Oh dear. Why are the poor lambs currently unable to do so, beyond the obvious reasons – risk-aversion, hypergamy, work ethic…]?

She is facing calls to get pension funds to direct assets into female-led companies and has been warned that rises to capital gains tax will blunt female entrepreneurs’ ambitions. [J4MB: Thank goodness male entrepreneurs’ ambitions won’t be blunted!]

Emma Jones, of business-to-business service Enterprise Nation, said: “If the end game is no longer the prospect it once was, women may not see entrepreneurship as a career path. That would be a massive loss to the economy.” [J4MB: No, it wouldn’t, you dozy trout!]

Interesting. Stephen was interviewed by Pearl Davis six days ago, Who LOST America? Feminism’s WAR on MEN! (video, 1:30:04).

An interesting article by Tara O’Connor on the FT Adviser website.

In 2012 I gave evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries of the causal link – already well-established by then – of the causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate financial DECLINE. The evidence is here (scroll down), and consists of longitudinal studies, the only possible source of evidence of a causal link. To the best of my knowledge, no mainstream media outlets in the world have ever reported on that causal link.

Helena Morrissey needs no introduction to followers of this website. Our many blog posts on her since we launched in 2012 are here. I doubt that there’s another person in the world who has been so influential in driving “more women on boards” initiaitives over many years, or who has been so closely associated with DEI initiatives in the business world. She’s the chair of The Diversity Project, which proudly declares in large letters on its home page:

“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is not only a social obligation, it’s a business imperative in the Investment and Savings Industry.”

I shall be emailing Tara O’Connor, inviting her to ask Helena Morrissey whether – after so many years – she has evidence from longitudinal studies of a causal link between increasing gender diversity on corporate boards and enhanced financial performance, and if so, to provide it to us for consideration. I’ll copy the email to the newsdesk at FT Adviser, as well as Professor Alex Edmans, Professor of Finance at London Business School, who will lead the study.

As far as I know, the FT has been silent on the aforementioned causal link for 12+ years. Isn’t it about time they revealed the facts of the matter to their readers?

Interesting. Proof that even today, the world’s greatest artists are men. Including con artists. An extract:

“Jen Hua from Sotheby’s China office placed the winning bid on behalf of Chinese-born crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun, who will pay US$6.2m including the buyer’s premium.

In return, Sun will receive a banana and a roll of duct tape, as well as a certificate of authenticity and instructions on how to install the work – including how to replace the banana, should they want to.”

Enjoy (video, 0:44). I once owned a Jaguar X-Type, great car, but I wouldn’t buy another Jaguar after watching the new ad. Just as so many people are rebelling against wokeism and identity politics, Jaguar embraces it.
