I recall an SAS story, told to me by a Catholic priest following the First Gulf War, where the SAS played a crucial role in spotting targets for the RAF which still horrifies me. The story involved an SAS unit crawling through the Iraqi desert. Suddenly, they encounter some shepherds and are clearly spotted. The […]
I cannot bring myself to be light-hearted about any aspect of the case of Lucy Connolly jailed for 31 months for a posting on X following the Southport killing of three innocent young girls by Axel Rudakubana. It is now impossible to be anything but enraged about the case, especially as she lost her appeal

There has been a run on loo paper in the coastal towns of France. The supermarket shelves are empty, not a pack of supersoft to be found; even that shiny ‘medicated’ stuff we used to use as children is out of stock. It’s like Covid all over again. What lies behind this terrible situation is

What the hell kind of a police force do we have that can make a comment, regarding the arrest of a pensioner over a social media post, that his bookshelves contained ‘very Brexity things’? As if the presence of the police in his house was not bad enough over a social media post, while he
We Catholics have had a few days since Thursday to reflect on the appointment of our new leader Pope Leo XIV. The cardinals have flown home, St Peter’s Square is less crowded and tourists will be back in the Vatican Museum surreptitiously photographing the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Hull and East Riding is in the grip of election fever for the mayor of the new unitary authority. Things are hotting up and expectations are high that some people who give the proverbial will turn up at the polling stations which are already being set up. Others may just want directions to Tesco. Tensions
Warning: More Weather Warnings on the Way Read More »
Not content with blocking every last vestige of fun we have – tobacco, alcohol, food (all festooned with warnings) – our government is now intent on blocking the sun, possibly removing from the long-suffering British public one of the few pleasures still free to enjoy, on the rare occasions we actually see it. If they
I was never convinced that we needed a Supreme Court. It was a Blairite concoction dreamed up in line with reducing the role of the House of Lords, which had served us well for centuries as the ultimate arbiter of legal cases, and a genuflection to the way things are run in our former colony

The current occupant of Number 10 Downing Street seems seized by religious fervour. Will we soon hear of a sudden conversion to one of the world’s major faiths? The problem is: which one? So far, we have had calls to prayer and iftars in Westminster acknowledged by Sir Keir in recognition of the special time
