A fantastic new edit of a classic #DoctorWho story. I’d forgotten how fun the Pertwee years were! Perfect Sunday morning watching!

A fascinating read on the recent Supreme Court decision on RE in Northern Ireland, particularly the political dimension. It is convincing and realistic in terms of the proposed next steps. A must read!

This week’s Supreme Court decision means that we need to rethink religious education and worship in schools in all nations of the UK. The main takeaway of the judgment is that it underlines how parental opt outs will not excuse indoctrination: lawandreligionuk.com/2025/11/20/r...

UK Supreme Court holds that religious education and collective worship provided in a school in Northern Ireland are contrary to human rights laws. Lots to unpack here.
