Nigel Farage wasn't telling the truth on Laura Kuenssberg

Reform wants to be obstructed by council workers, but it has to try first

Caollfhionn Gallagher KC reflects on the legacy of his friend Conor Gearty, who recently passed away...

He “won every debating competition in sight... Debate breaks down certainty, forcing you to enter the mind of the holder of an opposing point of view.”

The political prisoners club, and remembering Conor Gearty

My work takes me across the world, and I am always amazed at how those who have suffered such trauma spend time helping others

ISW warns Moscow’s talk of “protecting Russian speakers” could be groundwork for future aggression.

Russia Revives Propaganda Used Before Invasions of Ukraine and Georgia, Targeting Baltics Next

If Labour had listened in 2023, they would not have come unstuck now.

Instead, Brexit is going to do for them just as it did for the Tories.

(You can't point to Brexit's real damage AND claim you can Make Brexit Work. And yet Labour are doing just that.)
