Wow. ‘The Christmas Guest’ by Peter Swanson is phenomenal. A gripping read that almost made me fall off my chair at one point. Exceptional!

A fantastic new edit of a classic #DoctorWho story. I’d forgotten how fun the Pertwee years were! Perfect Sunday morning watching!

A fascinating read on the recent Supreme Court decision on RE in Northern Ireland, particularly the political dimension. It is convincing and realistic in terms of the proposed next steps. A must read!

A very interesting read, and I'm impressed that you put it together so quickly after the judgment! Here is my piece, with slightly more emphasis on political and media dimensions in addition to a legal analysis. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

This week’s Supreme Court decision means that we need to rethink religious education and worship in schools in all nations of the UK. The main takeaway of the judgment is that it underlines how parental opt outs will not excuse indoctrination: lawandreligionuk.com/2025/11/20/r...
