Times Of Israel: The justice minister is bent on tearing Israel apart from within. Again
A recent Israel Democracy Institute survey indicates that nearly half of Israelis view the friction between right and left as the most pressing social tension, surpassing previous concerns about Jewish-Arab relations. Trust in the Knesset and government has plummeted, with 58% believing democracy is under threat, largely due to the coalition's attempts to control the judiciary.
Justice Minister Yariv Levin's push to revive judicial overhaul legislation, despite the ongoing conflict with Hamas, raises alarms about the future of Israel's independent judiciary. Prime Minister Netanyahu's refusal to establish a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 attacks further complicates the political landscape, as tensions with Iran and other regional threats persist.

GB News: Calls for stricter policing over Christmas as drink driving hits record high with Britons wanting ‘urgent’ action
Experts are advocating for stricter policing and a reduction in the blood alcohol content limit in England and Wales to combat rising drink-driving fatalities. Current limits are the highest in Europe, and a proposed change would align them with Scotland's lower limit. However, experts emphasize that enforcement is crucial, as stricter limits alone have not effectively reduced accidents.
New initiatives, including AI cameras for detecting impaired driving, are being implemented to enhance enforcement. Public support for reducing the legal limit and empowering police to disqualify drivers immediately is growing, reflecting a desire for more proactive measures to tackle drink-driving and its associated fatalities.

The Western Journal: Disney Pulls Trans Storylines from Upcoming Series, Suggests an End to LGBT Themes Altogether
Disney has removed a transgender storyline from its upcoming animated series "Win or Lose," responding to parental concerns about LGBT themes in children's content. This decision marks a shift away from the company's previous stance on LGBT activism, particularly after disappointing box office performances for films featuring such themes.
The company's pivot may reflect a broader cultural backlash against "woke" content, as evidenced by the rise of the parental rights movement and criticism from figures like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Disney's recent struggles in the box office suggest a potential reevaluation of its approach to storytelling for younger audiences.
