Never mind CCTV. A sign should greet Javid in his new office. Saying “Welcome to Hell”.

His in-tray features: Covid, mental health, NHS reform…and social care. He’s set to be the most pressured Health Secretary since Lansley.

Will Sturgeon “go on and on and on”?

We don’t read her as a quitter. And the next election may come as early as 2023. But if she does step down before it, you read it here first.

Narinder Singh: Liberal ‘defenders’ shouldn’t presume to speak for me on the Begum ruling

There’s a difference between skiving school with your friends and travelling to Syria to pledge your allegiance to a death cult.

The case for a new treason offence

Ministers believe that the present legal framework isn’t fit for purpose if prosecutions of returning terrorists are to be successful. 

Where is the Conservatives’ Constitution, Democracy and Rights Commission?

Mike Yeomans: Why Begum’s return to the UK would help, not harm, our counter-terrorism plans

She could give us invaluable insights into jihadi recruitment techniques, and if deradicalised become a valuable asset.

Why an updated treason law would help to boost community cohesion

One thinks of the need for such as a measure as justice-related and security-related. But it would also send a powerful signal.

Postmodernism strips the likes of Shamima Begum of personal responsibility and judges her solely by ethnicity, religion and class.

WATCH: “They are our citizens and we have a responsibility”, Dannatt says of jihadists in Syria

“It’s also important that we treat them fairly…with justice tempered with a bit of mercy.”

Bob Seely: The rule of law is an absolute. It cannot be dispensed with when we deal with ISIS terrorists.
