When a Government is scientifically illiterate, but doesn’t know it, then its actions (or inactions) can be a recipe for the dismantling of an informed and enlightened Democracy. #ScienceMatters

Labour promised to restore nature. Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it. We offered solutions. We’re done waiting. Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species. Without significant change, it must be scrapped.

I condemn de facto reimposition of blasphemy laws in Hamit Coskun case Judge has capitulated to Islamist extremists who want to censor & criminalise criticism of Islam All ideas, including religious ones, should be open to criticism. Defend freedom of expression! National Secular Society

It can happen here. It is happening here.

We’re alarmed by news that a man has been charged with making threats to kill Hamit Coskun after allegedly threatening to behead him for setting a Quran alight. From the fatwa against Salman Rushdie to the killings of cartoonists for depicting Muhammad, the beheading of Samuel

A child in care has been unable to attend the school identified as most appropriate for them due to faith based admissions criteria, a local authority has said. Religious admissions are perpetuating disadvantage in our society. They should be abolished. secularism.org.uk/news/2025/07/c…

A new poll shows 74% of the public don't care who the next archbishop of Canterbury is, inc. 62% Christians. The CofE is irrelevant to the lives of most people - yet it continues to enjoy a privileged status our society. It's time for disestablishment. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/09/2…

11 years since it was first announced and 3 years since it issued its final report, we have to acknowledge that the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA) has been a complete failure. None of its recommendations has been implemented. mandatenow.org.uk/iicsa-has-fail…

Yet another example of an independent faith school openly stating they have no intention of complying with the law. The Government must address a system in which schools repeatedly disregard legal requirements and face little to no consequence. secularism.org.uk/news/2025/10/w…

The progress of a bill in Manx parliament to remove the bishop's vote in its upper chamber is an encouraging step towards a fairer, secular democracy. It's time for Westminster to take note and scrap the bishop's bench. secularism.org.uk/news/2025/11/s…
