I've written for today's Times on how both right and left have got it wrong on Islam. The right conflates Islam with Islamism to turn British Muslims into a lightening rod. The left is in denial that there are any issues at all with our multicultural society.

The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral.
I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more.
This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either.
Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.

"The level of sexual misconduct we see in the medical workforce is staggering"
These are the words of the head of the General Medical Council, the organisation who regulate doctors.
Over the past six months I have put a series of FOI requests into medical regulators that have found that only 53 out of nearly 1,000 cases where sexual misconduct has been reported lead to a doctor being suspended or erased (struck off).

100% this. It is outrageous that the, on average better off, over 60s get these freebies, while on average worse off, younger people subsidise them. Policy remains stuck in the 1970s when older people really were very poor on average. No longer true.

Half of trainee British doctors finishing this summer had no job lined up.
Yet the NHS is poaching foreign doctors. One in six of Nigeria's are now in the UK.
The real scandal isn't pay: it's a broken training pipeline. My column:-

NEW I was asked by @Telegraph to look into the growth of Turkish-style barbershops in the UK.
Aside from legit premises what emerges is a network of barbers that are fronts for organised crime, money laundering in particular.
