As might be expected, Tom Chivers’ post on Nadine Dorries’ ‘Right to Know’ campaign has drawn a response from Dorries, even if she is merely intemperately parroting the comments of Dr. Peter Saunders of the Christian Medical Fellowship: Tom Chivers has done the Daily Telegraph a disservice which […]

… the truth about Nadine Dorries’s latest anti-abortion campaign. Yes, I know I should be getting on with fixing up the Ministry but an issue has arisen that merits my attention, namely Nadine Dorries’ latest attack on women’s abortion rights: A cross-party alliance of MPs will launch a […]

Over the last few days, proponents of the view that Jack Straw was scaremongering when he suggested, on Newsight, that there is a specific problem with some Pakistani men which leads them to target non-Muslim women have leant heavily on statistical evidence supplied by Chris Dillow as follows: […]
