In what may become one of the largest pharmaceutical liability cases in British history, more than 3,000 UK residents have launched a class action lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, alleging that its iconic baby powder contained asbestos and caused ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, and other deadly diseases.
The suit, filed at the High Court in London, accuses Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries—including Kenvue UK, the consumer health spin-off—as having knowingly sold contaminated talcum powder for decades. Internal memos and scientific reports cited in the case suggest the company was aware of the risks as early as the 1970s, yet continued to......

The Home Office continues to operate in a state of calculated inertia, where action is not driven by duty but by desperation—desperation to avoid public embarrassment. Time and again, it has proven that it does not serve the people; it serves silence, until that silence is shattered by media scrutiny and public outrage. This is not governance. It's institutional ignorance and cruelty masquerading as procedure.

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.
Robert Jenrick called Handsworth “as close as I’ve come to a slum.” He didn’t mention the bin strike. He didn’t mention the people.......

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......
