Is there a right to die? As the Assisted Dying Bill vote looms, Prof James Alexander ponders the issues, asking if the whole debate would change if we think of it in terms of duties instead of rights.

Of course Net Zero requires telling people "how to live their lives", says Ben Pile. Keir Starmer's claim to the contrary is not to be credited. Changing how people live has always been at the heart of the green agenda.

Beware the 'rule of law', warns Prof James Alexander. Labour's Attorney General Lord Hermer is a proponent of a 'thick' version that opposes 'populism' by taking key decisions out of democratic control.

Lord Sumption has said that if we are to be free we should do as much as possible by convention, not by law. That's right, says Prof James Alexander. But how does one recover conventions that have been lost or destroyed?

Reform MPs have been banned from asking questions about the teenager accused of the Southport massacre in Parliament, Nigel Farage has revealed, amid concerns about the public being kept in the dark.

Keir Starmer has paid back more than £6,000 worth of gifts – including Taylor Swift tickets and clothes for his wife – as donor Lord Alli is probed by the Parliamentary watchdog for "non-registration of interests".

Former Conservative MP Jonathan Gullis has said he is unable to get a job – or an interview – in teaching because his political views are held in "disdain" by the Left-wing profession.

The Government is refusing to publish data on crime and welfare claims by immigration status or nationality, making it impossible to ascertain the impact of immigration on society and the economy, says Matt Goodwin.

Sir Keir Starmer should recall Parliament so MPs can have a "more honest debate" about mass immigration, Nigel Farage has demanded as he accused the PM of a "faltering approach" to the riots currently sweeping Britain.

Keir Starmer says he will never withdraw from the ECHR because there is "no need" and Rishi Sunak did not disagree, despite it being the reason he failed to stop the boats. Nigel Farage says it's time to ask the people.
