    • Political Figures Under InvestigationTwo Conservative and SNP figures face scrutiny for potential breaches of rules, highlighting the need for transparency and ethical conduct in politics

      The political landscape in the UK is under scrutiny, with several high-profile figures finding themselves in hot water. Conservative MP Scott Benton had his party whip suspended after he was caught on camera discussing potential breaches of lobbying rules. He suggested he could influence ministers and even leak confidential documents. Meanwhile, police continue to investigate the SNP's finances, with Peter Murrell, husband of former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, being released without charge. The investigation stems from allegations of missing funds raised for an independence referendum campaign that never occurred. Despite these developments, both individuals maintain their innocence. These incidents underscore the importance of transparency and ethical conduct in politics.

    Trump operated a golf course in NJ that contributed to the death of a man in a car rollover because his staff was more worried about a bar tab than human life. Michael Popok reports on the incongruity of Trump, arguing that he’s a multi billionaire in New York, while he had the gall to spread the $400k administrative fine his golf course was hit with for the death of a former patron, over four years on a payment plan.

    Women, Equality and the Bible: a Christian/atheist dialogue

    Women, Equality and the Bible: a Christian/atheist dialogue

     

    It is of the utmost importance to dialogue about everything. There are many reasons to do so: to tear down false preconceptions about each other’s worldview, to understand the subtleties of each other’s thoughts and convictions better, to raise empathy towards each other, and know better what to challenge and how to do it, so that we can challenge what it is, and not what we make it to be.

    What is today’s situation about women’s roles in the world? What are the differences, if there are, between equality and sameness? What are the healthiest ways to dialogue about it? What does the Bible say about women? What is the ultimate truth about women from a Christian and secular perspective?

    Christian thinkers: Ellen Armour and Claire Davidson

    Secular thinkers: Gayle Jordan and Felicia Powers.
