Parliament has legislated itself into a corner when it comes to promoting marriage. The union that creates children and gives them the best start - a man and a woman, married - is the one no minister dares promote, for fear of being called discriminatory. The silence is thirteen years old and Children are paying for it. Are you happy now?
My parents divorced too, Bridget.
And yet everybody in my life still sees the importance of marriage & two-parent families.
And so does the evidence.
Children in two-parent households consistently do better than those who are not.
Just because you come from disrupted families does not mean you have to withdraw support for two-parent families.
A report on 'Christian extremism', drawn from leaked Home Office papers, admits the threat of violence remains low and identifies no UK terrorist attack mainly motivated by it. The Home Secretary should publish the papers in full. vision.org.au/fbexclude/repo…
The joint committee on the draft Conversion Practices Bill takes evidence until 16 November. Where are the victims that existing law fails to protect? Genuine abuse is already a crime, so this Bill should be dropped. committees.parliament.uk/com…
In South Korea, 180 civic groups want marriage and fertility targets put back into the new population plan. In Britain, the union that gives children the best start, a man and a woman married, is the one no minister dares promote. upi.com/Top_News/World-News/…
County Durham and Darlington's NHS trust has updated its staff changing-room policy to reflect biological sex, with unisex rooms too, after the Supreme Court's ruling on sex in the Equality Act. Obeying the law is the minimum, not a victory. express.co.uk/news/uk/226004…
MPs have passed a short Bill removing the historic bar on Catholic and Jewish prime ministers advising the King on Church of England bishop appointments. blogs.ucl.ac.uk/constitution…
The Scottish Greens had a motion calling for legal recognition and equal rights for multi-person relationships. It went undebated only because the conference ended early. Stop sacrificing the needs of children on the altar of adult desires. heraldscotland.com/news/2666…
Who pays when a country ages? UBS warns that ageing and falling birth rates could slow global growth and push up pension and healthcare costs. If you want more babies, you need more earlier and stable marriages. uk.investing.com/news/econom…
Ian Dunt says falling immigration is "mutilating" the Budget (Britain is ageing and birth rates are falling, so there are fewer working-age taxpayers). The deeper story is who is and isn't having children among people already living here... iandunt.substack.com/p/the-f…
A public debate in Colchester will ask whether religious street preaching should be banned, weighing free speech and religious expression against other people's right to use shared public spaces. gazette-news.co.uk/news/2665…
Questions are being asked in Australia about how its health regulator records the sex of the doctor at the centre of the Sandie Peggie row at NHS Fife. Sex is a fact recorded at birth, and that record should never be rewritten. gbnews.com/news/world/trans-…
What happens to a GP who passes on colleagues' worries about gender treatment? She says she was forced out of her job. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr5y…
"The Minister says the Conversion Practices Bill respects parents. The Bill says otherwise." The Free Speech Union shows how far it reaches - into homes, therapy rooms and places of worship. This Bill should be dropped. freespeechunion.org/news/the…

ALT Cardiff Castle illuminated at night by bright green floodlights against a dark sky. Caer Castell Caerdydd wedi'i oleuo wrth nos gan fflachlysau gwyrdd disglair yn erbyn awyr dywyll.
Questions are being raised over legal advice given to Stormont members in private on the Bill to ban conversion practices, amid concerns about its effect on parents and religious expression. This Bill should be withdrawn, not improved. newsletter.co.uk/news/politi…
China plans a "fertility-friendly society" as its birth rate hits a record low for the fourth year running and marriages fall about 7.5% in the first half of 2026. If you want more babies, you need more earlier and stable marriages. independent.co.uk/asia/china…
I'm not surprised record numbers of adult children are living at home with their parents. The Guardian's advice is ground rules, privacy and boundaries. Young people do want to marry. They just can't afford it. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…
In 2025, 645,000 people in the UK were in their nineties or older (up 55.2% since 2005, the Office for National Statistics estimates). Longer lives are a blessing. Who will pay for and look after them given fewer births? ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationa…
A leaked Home Office report is said to link "Christian extremism" to traditionalism and fears over immigration. It says the threat of violence is low, and that no UK terror attack has been mainly motivated by Christian extremism. stevenedginton.com/p/leaked-…
"Marriage deserts" is what a new Institute for Family Studies report calls the American city neighbourhoods where fewer than a third of householders are married. Out in the wealthier suburbs, marriage abounds. christianpost.com/news/marri…
Scope has apologised for dropping a choir from a London Marathon performance over its founder's gender-critical views. It admits the decision was wrong. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/10…
