I've known Amina Shah for over 25 years, she is one of the finest people I've ever worked with and someone with immense integrity. She leads the library profession from a strongly values-based position, and I will always have immense respect for her and trust in her. She's a great National Librarian

Schools should feed all pupils and taxes should pay for it.

Ending child poverty must be a priority for the Government

More on the shameful lack of compensation for miscarriage of justice (wrongful conviction) victims in the UK and Andy Malkinson's ongoing nightmare. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Andrew Malkinson still not compensated three years after release
