"The edit was a mistake, it was clearly misjudged, but the idea it's an example of institutional bias against Trump is absurd."

'Jenrick's 'white faces' comment would have once been enough to get an MP sacked' | The News Agents Robert Jenrick has defended comments made in March 2025 about the lack of white people in an area of Birmingham he visited – and Tory colleagues have rallied to back him. But do his comments make…

"He invokes white faces. He is the one who chooses this as his metric."

Robert Jenrick defended his comment about not seeing "another white face" in a Birmingham area, saying he was only criticising the lack of integration, not focusing on skin colour

This means if you run a service and decide to simply exclude trans people you’re going to have to be prepared to defend the decision in court

Supporting trans rights does not mean opposing women's rights.

Supporting women's rights does not mean opposing trans rights.

Please think about whose interests it serves to turn those who should be allies against misogyny and transphobia into each others' enemies instead.

Teenage psychiatric patients told they are 'pathetic and disgusting' A BBC investigation finds some nurses were verbally abusive and cruel towards unwell teenagers.

The medical staff involved here should be barred from their respective registers and never work in healthcare again. Barbaric treatment of young people who needed compassion and support.

Counting the cost of bowling alone Malign neglect of social capital sowed the seeds of many of our largest problems

"from the epidemic in loneliness to the crumbling of communities, the erosion of social capital goes a long way to explaining some of our greatest scourges....If the UK could achieve Scandinavian levels of trust, this could add £100bn per year to our growth"
