Great piece from someone who knows what real war is like.
“If we continue to show disdain for our allies, if we fail to appreciate their contribution to our national security and greater global stability, we may find ourselves fighting alone someday. And trust me, war is never a contest you want to fight alone.”

Anyone who would denigrate the service of our NATO allies clearly never spent a day in uniform.

We raised concerns in 2023 that Green Lane mosque was in line to receive a £2.2m grant despite its history of antisemitism, misogyny and homophobia.

It's now emerged that the police chief of the West Midlands supported the mosque for public funding.

The publication of a sermon condoning 'physical discipline' of women by a masjid after previously being warned by the regulator is a perfect illustration of how giving misogynistic religious charities 'advice and guidance' isn't working.

The removal of the bishop's automatic voting rights in the Isle of Man's parliament is a welcome and long-overdue step towards democracy.

Now, Westminster must follow this example by ending the bishops' privileges in the House of Lords.

They’ve picked Goodwin, the former academic who ‘went native’ by becoming one of the people he said he was studying.
He used to write books about the far right. Now he is the far right.

As I read this, I’m reminded of something my history lecturer said 36 years ago.

“Remember, no German citizen voted for the camps.

But the votes in 1933 and years of words and propaganda and silence in the midst of violence lead directly to them.”

Wouldn’t it be better to run as a Republican and say that during the campaign?

(Then again, someone would probably shoot him for that so fair enough.)
The GOP candidate for Minnesota Governor, Chris Madel, has quit the race. “I can’t look my daughters in the eye and say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics and Asians because of the color of the skin... I did not sign up for that.”
