There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.

Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

Worklessness is near record lows

Who were the first humans to reach the British Isles?

Quote: I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember this too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick. Stewart Lee

Lots of things remain constant in the universe forever. And one of those things is that young Tories are really really weird.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

After navigating one of the toughest starts in the Premier League, Arsenal now face the easiest run of five fixtures according to the Opta Power Rankings.

Now is the time for them to put the pressure on leaders Liverpool, but can they capitalise on their schedule?
