In what may become one of the largest pharmaceutical liability cases in British history, more than 3,000 UK residents have launched a class action lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson, alleging that its iconic baby powder contained asbestos and caused ovarian cancer, mesothelioma, and other deadly diseases.
The suit, filed at the High Court in London, accuses Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiaries—including Kenvue UK, the consumer health spin-off—as having knowingly sold contaminated talcum powder for decades. Internal memos and scientific reports cited in the case suggest the company was aware of the risks as early as the 1970s, yet continued to......

The Home Office continues to operate in a state of calculated inertia, where action is not driven by duty but by desperation—desperation to avoid public embarrassment. Time and again, it has proven that it does not serve the people; it serves silence, until that silence is shattered by media scrutiny and public outrage. This is not governance. It's institutional ignorance and cruelty masquerading as procedure.
How could being born Anguilla make you a British citizen, while being born in Britain itself - in the exact same circumstances means that you are not British and must pay for your NHS treatment? @ShabanaMahmood @MikeTappTweets #JusticeForZharia #Zhariah......

ST. GEORGE’S, GRENADA — Grenada’s government has confirmed that the United States has formally requested permission to install radar equipment and deploy technical personnel at the Maurice Bishop International Airport—barely 100 miles from Venezuela’s northern coast. The move, framed by Washington as a “temporary” measure, comes amid escalating U.S. military activity in the Caribbean and growing fears of an imminent confrontation with the Maduro government.
While Grenadian officials insist the proposal is under “careful review,” regional leaders and security analysts warn the request could fracture CARICOM unity......

In a stunning rebuke to President Donald Trump’s aggressive foreign policy, the Nobel Peace Prize committee has reportedly passed over the U.S. president in favor of regional peacebuilders in Latin America, citing escalating tensions and extrajudicial military actions in the Caribbean. The decision comes amid growing international concern over Trump’s rebranding of the U.S. Department of Defense as the “Department of War” and a series of lethal strikes on alleged narcotrafficking vessels near Venezuela.
Trump’s executive order, signed September 5, authorizes the use of “Department of War” as a secondary title across federal......

A three-year-old girl from Birmingham has been told she cannot have a British passport. Zharia-Rae was born in the United Kingdom in 2022. Her mother, Tracy Ann Dunkley, says the Home Office has refused to recognise her daughter as a British citizen and issue her a British passport because she was born in the UK.
Zharia-Rae is not a British citizen—because she was born in the UK. But had she been born in Anguilla where her mother grew up, she would be a British citizen. Yes, you read that correctly.
Under British nationality law, a child born in any of the British Overseas Territories (BOT) is a British citizen at birth if at least one parent is deemed......

LONDON, UK — Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick is facing mounting criticism after a week of incendiary statements and controversial public appearances. After defending a man accused of burning the Quran in Southwark Crown Court, Jenrick is now under fire for comments made during a visit to Handsworth, Birmingham, where he lamented that he “didn’t see another white face” during a 90-minute walkabout. The remark, caught on leaked audio, has been branded by many as racially insensitive, divisive, and dangerously aligned with far-right rhetoric.
Robert Jenrick called Handsworth “as close as I’ve come to a slum.” He......

Sir Lenny Henry has ignited fierce debate with his call for the UK to pay £18 trillion in reparations to Black Britons and Caribbean nations for the enduring legacy of slavery—a figure that includes £12 trillion in direct compensation for Black British citizens alone. In his new book The Big Payback, co-authored with Marcus Ryder, Henry argues that the systemic racism, economic disparity, and overrepresentation of Black people in prisons are direct consequences of the transatlantic slave trade. His demand is not just financial—it’s moral, historical, and deeply personal. “We personally deserve money for the effects of slavery,”......

When Robert Jenrick described Handsworth, Birmingham as being “as close as I’ve come to a slum in this country,” he wasn’t just commenting on litter. He was drawing a racial boundary, one that casts Black and South Asian communities as failed citizens, living “parallel lives” in need of correction. But what Jenrick’s remarks reveal isn’t a concern for integration. It’s a selective tolerance for segregation, depending on who’s doing the segregating.
Robert Jenrick called Handsworth “as close as I’ve come to a slum.” He didn’t mention the bin strike. He didn’t mention the people.......
