LAST month Gillian Dymond wrote an open letter to Dame Norma Redfearn, Mayor of North Tyneside, about North Tyneside Council’s signing up to UK100, ‘a network of local leaders who have pledged to lead a rapid transition to Net Zero with Clean Air in their communities ahead of the government’s legal target’. She reported here on Dame Norma’s reply, and […]
ON MONDAY evening, I watched The US and the Holocaust on Sky TV. It was one of a series of documentaries to mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It told the story of the Swedish businessman, diplomat and humanitarian Raoul Wallenberg, who was responsible for saving the lives of 4,500 Hungarian Jews during the latter […]
IN A Spectator article headed ‘Assisted dying is inevitable’, Matthew Parris says he is one of those ‘who believe that the terminally ill for whom life has become unbearable should have the right to command its end’, although ‘naturally’ this campaign faces strong opposition. ‘Much of it comes from religious people who often hide their personal investment in […]
WHEN the voters of East Thanet inevitably return a Labour MP at the forthcoming general election, most will be blissfully unaware that their new parliamentary representative is a puritanical authoritarian. The fascists of the future, Winston Churchill warned, would portray themselves as anti-fascists. They will come not in jackboots but in smart suits. And in […]

On the other hand, in almost every case […]
METROPOLITAN Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley’s defence of a volunteer special constable who told Christian singer Harmonie London she was not allowed to sing church songs outside of church grounds prompted me to contact the Met press office. I asked whether a special constable who told a drag queen she could not sing gay songs […]
