Between 1645 and 1647, more than 100 people in East Anglia were executed for witchcraft – most of them women.

Their only crime was being accused.

Stuart Burrell tells their story.

The scandal that refuses to go away..

“Deborah Doyle, who lost her mum Sylvia Griffiths, 76, in a care home in April 2020, said news of the flat purchase was adding “insult to injury”.

“What a slap in the face for the care staff and the bereaved..”

Funny how I don’t remember the Conservatives or Farage complaining when the government was wasting £billions on unusable PPE during the pandemic. 🤷‍♂️

The inquiry is not perfect, but it is important!
The cost of the Covid Inquiry so far amounts to 0.01% of annual Gov spending.

The likes of Nigel Farage and Ian Duncan Smith are now saying this is too expensive, and it should be wound up.

That's 0.01% for an inquiry into the worst public health crisis in a generation.

What "entitlement" looks like..
Since when do you not pay for the dinner date and her 23 family members she brought along? So uncool.
Great idea to replicate in every town which needs the service, across the world.
