Festive Greetings
At the beginning of the year, I don't think I could ever have envisaged not celebrating Christmas in the traditional way - enjoying the company of family gatherings, exchanging gifts and perhaps one too many festive meals.

Action on Parking at Thorndon & South Weald Country Parks

A digital world fit for the next generation
For too long, tech giants have treated children as data to be mined, using addictive algorithms and harmful content to keep them scrolling. While some are calling for blanket bans, we know these are impractical and risk isolating vulnerable groups.

Britain’s nuclear deterrent depends on Trump. It’s time to change that
If the answer to “Is our nuclear deterrent working?” depends on what Donald Trump had for breakfast, then the answer is no, it’s not. And our deterrent is not truly independent.
