As birthrate plummets to record low and primary schools close, the Government urge people to have more children. Yet they are simultaneously promoting a Bill which allows abortion up to birth - in a country where 10 million babies have been aborted. One British baby is lost to

The attack on Manchester’s Jewish community is an attack on all who believe in British freedom of religion or belief. We mourn those murdered; pray for healing of the wounded; and protection for those targeted by hate and violence. No one attending a British synagogue, temple,

A good day to remember that the See of Canterbury has been vacant since the death of Cardinal Pole

The Novus Ordo celebrated as orientem with incense may be an admirable thing, but it is NOT the same liturgy as the TLM, many of whose most precious features are missing from the new Missal. I would rather attend the most spartan of Tridentine Low Masses than any Novus Ordo

A difficult and fascinating case to be involved in; The Hague Convention 13 (b), an Asylum claim, allegations of cult membership, an expert assessment - it was all going on...

This deeply shameful proposal is terribly revealing of Ireland's priorities at present.

A legal & art-historical overview of the Elgin Marbles. One of the great 'shall we debate this' issues, and a favourite of fabian-adjacents who seek their return – as with Chagos. There is no legal doubt; they're ours. In Reiners Project: reiners.org.uk/a-legal-certai…

Jack Scarisbrick, one of the great revisionist historians of the English Reformation, dies at the age of 98 #RIP

"1198, Pope Innocent III issued a decree that deaf people should be able to get married by making their vows in sign language." Lovely tale, & reminder these were NOT "Dark Ages", but time of innovation & care like any other: #Unlearn theconversation.com/the-deaf-black…

Very sad to learn of the death of Len Deighton, who was one of the two greatest spy thriller writers of all time and in some regards was Le Carre’s superior. Anyone who has not read Deighton should try Funeral in Berlin, Bomber or SSGB. Most of all they should seek out Berlin

Now there is a move to decriminalise abortion, effectively allowing it up to birth. Google it. It's not an easy read. It is the physical destruction of a baby. This horror passed the Commons after 46 minutes of debate. The Lords must stop it. It is a line the UK must not cross.

Last week our cookery writer Olivia Potts scooped the world by revealing that AB World Foods was to cease production of Gentleman’s Relish – on the eve of the 200th anniversary of the anchovy paste first gracing our dinner tables. For The Spectator, itself approaching its 200th
