From handing over the Chagos Islands to compensating Gerry Adams, Starmer's decisions owe more to human rights lawyers than sound politics. He needs to sack his chum Lord Hermer before he shipwrecks his Government.

One figure that has been repeatedly cited in the grooming gangs debate is that 1 in 73 Muslim men in the town of Rotherham has been prosecuted for grooming gang offences. However, this figure is slightly misleading.

Keir Starmer wants Britain to be both an "AI superpower" and a "clean energy superpower". He can't have it both ways, says Ben Pile. AI is hugely energy intensive and inconsistent with the path Net Zero is leading us down.

Trade Unionists, Palestinians and countless others turned out to express their anger at the recent bombings and killings in Gaza.

Hundreds turned out at the GPO, Dublin, for a protest called at short notice to show solidarity with and mourn the loss of life in Gaza after the recent Israeli military assault.

Jack o'Connor of Siptu spoke as did Mary Lou MacDonald MEP for Sinn Féin, Richard Boyd Barret (Irish Anti War Movement) along with many more. Many Palestinians gathered were mourning the loss of family members in Gaza. One woman I spoke with told of five family members having been killed yesterday. She couldn't say anything else. There was a sense of anger and outrage mixed with a painful powerlessness as Palestinians could only watch the destruction of their homes, community and society thousands of miles away.

A protest for tomorrow evening at five pm outside the Israeli Embassy was announced.

Poignantly, the protest ended on a quiet series of prayers with all joining in.
