Lee Rotherham: The Government’s weakness on defence is only rivalled by the weakness of their defence

The current defence budget is £62.2bn. Our figure, £70.3bn, is merely the estimate for being able to stay in the next big fight for more than a week – and, more immediately, for looking like a sufficiently serious threat for a peer or near-peer power not to chance their hand and start it.

Liz Truss: ‘There’s no political party at present in Britain that represents exactly what I think’

Truss made it clear that to, in her words, “save Britain” and to “save the west” that “very bold change” is needed.

Charles Amos: Your ex-girlfriend may soon be allowed to legally steal your furniture

James Ford: The DLR extension to Thamesmead is the wrong railway, at the wrong price, for the wrong reasons.

Georgia Gilholy: The assisted suicide lobby is desperate but we shouldn’t give in

Brandon To: As an immigrant I’d say Britain’s policing isn’t “two-tier” – it’s too terrified

By reforming the guidance that currently paralyses our frontline, we can restore the confidence of our police officers. True anti-racism in policing should not be hesitation, but confidence that when the police act, they do so with the full, unbiased weight of the law behind them.
