Not all men, but her husband, a local councillor, a nurse, a journalist, a former police officer, a prison guard, a soldier, a firefighter and a civil servant, to name a few. This case sickens me. We should be taking to the streets. Women are never safe. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Any suggestion that Birmingham's art should be sold to help the city council balance its books is for the birds. Arts & Culture is the lifeblood of Brum and the wider West Midlands. The sector needs protecting and growing, not sabotaging.

If you’re on the fence about women, some elderly or disabled, being able to request female only carers, consider that 90 men thought it would be fine to rape an unconscious woman in her sixties. Only 3 men declined to rape her and none of them reported the rapes to the police.

Shadow welfare secretary Mel Stride tells Labour MPs: "Look to your conscience. These measures, you know in your heart that these measures are wrong." In 2012, the Tory govt capped benefits increases to 1%, well below inflation & introduced the “bedroom tax”. In 2013, household

Given this batshit insane news cycle about dogs, I give you one of my favorite essays I’ve written, which explains the true story of how basically all modern dog breeds emerged from a small, quirky group of bored Victorian aristocrats: forkingpaths.co/p/the-evolutio…

Delighted to receive this beauty in the post. I've known Leigh Turner Author for 40 years, and now I can check out what he was up to for most of that time... Congratulations, Leigh. The politics and power might have moved on, but we'll always have parties!

Shocking. The Obs is an invaluable part of The Guardian brand - Nigel Slater, OFM, fantastic arts and political coverage…. This wd be such a loss to The G. Sending love to all Obs writers and editors who I’m sure are feeling extremely anxious now thru no fault of their own xxx
