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.

By Narinder Singh | 1 March 2021

Johnson. Not the Prime Minister we deserve. But the Prime Minister we need right now.

Ultimately, Begum is a distraction. The main issue is not terrorists’ brides, but terrorists themselves. Where are they?

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.

Chloe Westley: The twisted ideology that upends reason – and presents terror backers as innocent victims

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

By Chloe Westley | 18 February 2019 | 81 comments

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.”

17 February 2019 | 83 comments

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

A key moral from the case of Shamima Begum is that we need better information both to protect and prosecute.

By Bob Seely MP | 15 February 2019 | 36 comments
