What the Hormuz crisis reveals about who rules in Tehran The closure threat in the Strait of Hormuz may be more than a military move. It may show that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards are now shaping diplomacy as well as war.

A shipping crisis can also be a power signal.

Ten years on, more Britons back rejoining the EU, but Labour still will not say it New polling suggests voters, especially across Labour’s progressive base, are more open to rejoining the EU than the party leadership is prepared to admit.

#Labour wants the economic gains of closer ties with the #EU while ruling out the institutions that would make that approach coherent.

That is the contradiction at the centre of British politics ten years after #Brexit.

Trump isn’t lying − he’s doing something worse A philosopher argues that Donald Trump’s falsehoods are not lies intended to deceive but expressions of contempt, which are now alienating his base as they feel the effects.

Maybe fact-checking is not the full story.

This piece argues the backlash among some Trump supporters comes when obvious falsehoods stop feeling strategic and start feeling insulting.

Christianity in the UK is flourishing in immigrant communities – but a US‑style Christian nationalism is lurking elsewhere Britain’s most dynamic and socially engaged Christian communities are increasingly found among ethnic minority and migrant congregations, a stark contrast to the rise of U.S.-style Christian nationali...

Britain’s #Christian landscape is splitting in politically important ways.

#Migrant congregations are sustaining real religious life and community.

Meanwhile, parts of the #right are using Christian language less as faith than as cultural boundary-marking.

Sweden wants children reading more and clicking less. Researchers and edtech advocates worry about the AI gap Sweden’s government wants schools to return to more traditional teaching, but critics warn that delaying AI education could hand better-off children another advantage.

Sweden’s government says children need stronger basics before schools spend more time on AI. Critics warn that waiting too long could widen inequality, because better-off families are more able to teach these tools at home.

Home Office under pressure over domestic abuse visa loophole As applications rise, questions are growing over whether a fast-track settlement route for abuse survivors is being exploited without sufficient scrutiny.

A domestic abuse visa route created to protect vulnerable migrants is facing scrutiny after evidence of possible fraud is found. The issue is not the safeguard itself, but whether the #HomeOffice is checking claims rigorously enough.

Europe’s digital identity wallet is coming. Trust is the real test The European Union plans to launch digital identity wallets by 2026 to streamline services, though experts warn of significant privacy risks and potential data security vulnerabilities.

Digital identity is not just a tech story. It is a trust story.
By the end of 2026, every EU country must offer a digital identity wallet. Convenience is easy to sell. Confidence is harder to build.

We’re treating COVID like a memory instead of a continuing risk. Data exists, but governments aren’t translating it into clear guidance on ventilation, vaccination, or avoiding crowded indoor spaces. Public health messaging has drifted into silence just when we should be preparing for the next pandemic. We need honest communication, resilient data systems, and a culture of everyday risk literacy — or we’ll be surprised by predictable events.

Messaging has faded but COVID hasn’t.
Data keeps warning us, yet without clear guidance on ventilation, vaccination, and indoor risk, people navigate blind.
Treating the pandemic as over weakens readiness for the next one.
Honest communication and resilient data systems are needed now.
