It was recently reported that in just three years’ time many of those who voted for Britain to quit the EU will no longer be alive.

So, not for the first time, young people will have to pay for the errors of the old.
The Israelis’ war on Jeremy Corbyn is really a war on free speech that’s meant to silence critics of Israel in the UK and elsewhere.

The ‘anti-Semitism’ rumpus engulfing Jeremy Corbyn and tearing the Labour Party apart comes at the very moment when the country needs an alert and dynamic Opposition to Theresa May’s shambolic administration. The campaign, so obviously orchestrated by powerful pro-Israel interest groups to bring down Corbyn, threatens to derail all prospect of worthwhile change at the next election, which could be called anytime given the chaos over Brexit. This would be a calamity not just for Labour but the whole country.

There is a real need to close the loopholes when it comes to the online Wild West.
Comedy, Boris Johnson, and the Tories – these three share a certain comforting, if chaotic, affinity, lobbed together in some nightmarish union that risks consuming itself.
