This is staggering. How can people have any confidence when mistakes of this magnitude are made. A 28% reduction in pension from an administrative error is not small.

The right keeps shouting about the £10bn cost of rejoining the EU while ignoring the tens of billions we lose every year by staying out. If you pay £10 to get £80 back that isn’t a loss. It’s basic maths. The only thing Brexit delivered was poverty dressed up as sovereignty.

The mother of 10 year old Matilda who was murdered at Bondi beach just spoke. She can’t get the image of the terrorist aiming at her child and firing out of her head and heart. It wasn’t an accident. He fired at her. This is unbearable to watch.

A Muslim man named Farooq approaches a Jewish rabbi to express his sorrow and apologise for what happened, followed by a heartfelt exchange, is truly powerful. While there is a lot of darkness in the world, gestures like these remind us that compassion, unity, and mutual respect

This is an astonishing article.
"Cheshire Police are being urged to release strategic decision logs of the Lucy Letby investigation over fears they did not follow correct procedure." "Investigation was 'unconsciously skewed by confirmation bias', says former assistant chief constable." https://t.co/ijGUMZjgso

It was a privilege to speak at the Oxford Chabad Society about freedom of speech, civility, and the urgent need to confront antisemitism. Freedom of speech lies at the heart of any great university and of any democracy worth the name. But it is not, as I said in my remarks,
