Parliament must vote to decriminalise abortion
When Roe v Wade was repealed in America last year, many voices in the UK were quick to dismiss concerns that restrictions on a woman’s basic right to choose could ever happen here, and assumed that our right to access abortion services was secure and reflected the settled will of the people.

The once dazzling Oxford Street is now a sorry symbol of decline for Britain’s high streets
The onset of winter, chillier evenings and early dusk always triggers one of my earliest and most vivid memories: the annual trip “up west” to see the Christmas lights and gaze in awe at the mile and a half of dazzling window displays and Christmas lights along Oxford Street.

Reports of the death of moderate Conservatism are premature
It’s a popular hot-take to say that a Conservative defeat at the next election will inevitably cause the party to lurch to the right.
