A three-year-old girl from Birmingham has been told she cannot have a British passport. Zharia-Rae was born in the United Kingdom in 2022. Her mother, Tracy Ann Dunkley, says the Home Office has refused to recognise her daughter as a British citizen and issue her a British passport because she was born in the UK.
Zharia-Rae is not a British citizen—because she was born in the UK. But had she been born in Anguilla where her mother grew up, she would be a British citizen. Yes, you read that correctly.
Under British nationality law, a child born in any of the British Overseas Territories (BOT) is a British citizen at birth if at least one parent is deemed......

LONDON, UK — Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick is facing mounting criticism after a week of incendiary statements and controversial public appearances. After defending a man accused of burning the Quran in Southwark Crown Court, Jenrick is now under fire for comments made during a visit to Handsworth, Birmingham, where he lamented that he “didn’t see another white face” during a 90-minute walkabout. The remark, caught on leaked audio, has been branded by many as racially insensitive, divisive, and dangerously aligned with far-right rhetoric.
Robert Jenrick called Handsworth “as close as I’ve come to a slum.” He......

Sir Lenny Henry has ignited fierce debate with his call for the UK to pay £18 trillion in reparations to Black Britons and Caribbean nations for the enduring legacy of slavery—a figure that includes £12 trillion in direct compensation for Black British citizens alone. In his new book The Big Payback, co-authored with Marcus Ryder, Henry argues that the systemic racism, economic disparity, and overrepresentation of Black people in prisons are direct consequences of the transatlantic slave trade. His demand is not just financial—it’s moral, historical, and deeply personal. “We personally deserve money for the effects of slavery,”......

When Robert Jenrick described Handsworth, Birmingham as being “as close as I’ve come to a slum in this country,” he wasn’t just commenting on litter. He was drawing a racial boundary, one that casts Black and South Asian communities as failed citizens, living “parallel lives” in need of correction. But what Jenrick’s remarks reveal isn’t a concern for integration. It’s a selective tolerance for segregation, depending on who’s doing the segregating.

In 2018, the UK Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) accused the British Government of “unfairness in British nationality law,” warning that its treatment of citizens from former colonies was discriminatory and opaque. Harriet Harman, then Chair of the Committee, condemned the system as “a stain on our national conscience.”
Seven years later, Cherry Brown is living proof that nothing has changed.

In a stunning moment on BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, former Conservative MP Penny Mordaunt claimed that UK trade unions and professional bodies are “openly antisemitic”—and that Jewish professionals are being forced to pay them in order to work.

The remarks came during a segment on institutional bias and professional gatekeeping. Mordaunt, who recently co-chaired a Board of Deputies commission on antisemitism, stated:
“In this country, you have to be a member of particular professional bodies and trade unions in order to get the indemnities to be a teacher or an independent social worker. Some of those organisations......

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrests just hours before a planned nationwide protest calling for the ban to be lifted.

For decades, Freemasonry has operated in the shadows of British policing—shielded by tradition, ignored by oversight, and whispered about in corridors where transparency should reign. Now, the Metropolitan Police is breaking ranks with its own history.
In a rare and explosive admission, Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has confirmed that Freemasonry is not just a ceremonial relic—it’s a live threat to institutional integrity. “We have information intelligence that tells me we do need to confront it,” Rowley said. “I see evidence of it being linked to misconduct. I see evidence of it linked to expectations of favouritism......

The UK government’s proposed Digital ID scheme is facing fierce public backlash, with nearly two million people signing a petition to reject its rollout. Marketed as a modern solution to illegal working and bureaucratic inefficiency, the scheme would make biometric ID mandatory for Right to Work checks—transforming the way citizens prove their legal status to employers. But beneath the surface of convenience lies a deeper unease: legal ambiguity, cultural coercion, and a creeping expansion of surveillance.

What’s more, the scheme’s logic begins to unravel when applied to the gig economy. Food delivery......
