I think you probably want a muslim to swear the oath of allegiance on the Quran rather than the Bible because the Quran is probably more sacred to them so the oath will be more meaningful. Unless, of course, you think the Bible is just a empty symbol and the oath basically meaningless of course.

The Green Party has written to the Telegraph demanding an apology and retraction for publishing these two cartoons, which they say use "well known racist and antisemitic tropes in depicting Mothin Ali and Zack Polanski"

Labour need time to get the economy further on the rise so they can start to implement all the reforms they have promised us. Calling an election now when the coffers are so low would be pointless and very risky.

Why on Earth would Labour call a snap election, in which they couldn't dream of achieving the majority they now have?

Sagal Abdi-Wali came to the UK aged 7 having fled the war in Somalia with her family. She has thrived. Leader of Camden council and now the MP for Holborn and St Pancras. A narrative that runs counter to all we are told about refugees. Congratulations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good to see Kemi has her priorities right - abolishing inheritance tax for the rich 5% who might have to pay it on their huge estates, and allowing couples to pass on £1 million tax free. Can always make up the loss of revenue by cutting benefits to the poor. A clear vote-winner.

The real irony of self-checkouts and other such technology is that they put people out of work, so, reducing demand for the products these firms sell and either forcing people into poverty or else making them dependent on benefits paid for from increased taxes on everyone.

Although I agree that Nigel Farage has always been given far too much airtime on BBCQT over the years, I think that bashing the BBC generally is a bad move. If we move to streaming and subscription TV, which the right wing would love us to do, we could end up with something far worse.
