My book reviewed in the Wall Street Journal:
"An exceptional feat of investigative research... [Depicts] the historical moment when the modern overpowered the ancient—a world, now lost, of floridly costumed courtiers, fabled princes, exotic vices and perfumed palaces"

As Belfast burned this week, a group of women - including some from Sudan - organised to evacuate threatened families from their home. They did it without any help from the state.
I met them. Link below

Sadiq Khan said he told the Met Police to investigate the Great Israeli Real Estate event.

I understand the Greens have policy groups run by members who come up with policy that is then voted on at conferences. This doesn’t mean the policy gets adopted

EXCL: The Green party is considering a new policy to ban circumcision, The Spectator can reveal.
The party’s Health Policy Working Group (HPWG) has launched a consultation seeking views on whether parents should only be allowed to consent ‘to an irreversible surgical procedure on a child if that procedure is medically necessary’.
Circumcision is an integral part of Judaism, with Jewish boys traditionally undergoing a ‘brit milah’ on the eighth day after birth.
Interestingly, the consultation on outlawing the practice was publicised specifically in a ‘Greens for Palestine’ WhatsApp group.
