Calling Netanyahu a bad and lethal Israeli leader - not antisemitism. Attacking a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur - Antisemitism. And while we are at it: Accusing Israel of well-documented war crimes, anger at Israel - not antisemitism. Calling for the annihilation of the

On 1 April 2026, unless something changes in the meantime, we will 'celebrate' 30 years of stagnant legal aid rates. Think about that. 30 years without a pay rise. Could you live on your 1996 salary, but paying today's prices?

The Hillsborough families will never see true justice for their loved ones. But their tenacity, dignity and refusal to be silenced means no other bereaved families will ever have to ensure the same ordeal. That is their legacy - and it will stand for generations to come.

Jess Philips is a committed and caring minister, and you, sir, are a toxic gonad. The UK is not your plaything, wealth doesn’t exempt you from international law, and owning X doesn’t give you license to poison the discourse of any country whose government you disagree with.

It is a shameful: denying those students whose parents can’t afford to pay for it the chance to learn a language that opens up immense vistas of fascination
So Latin is cancelled for 5000 State school pupils These pupils will not even be able to complete their academic year studies as from Feb 2025, Latin is removed from State School curriculum altogether. No doubt many parents will comment “ it’s a dead language, what’s the

A Conservative Party spokesman says Louise Haigh “failed to behave to the standards expected of an MP", as she hadn’t thrown a lockdown party, bullied a civil servant, given a PPE contract to her mate, gone on reality TV instead of doing her job or crashed the economy
