More than 400 small boat migrants have arrived in the first two days of Labour's returns deal with France, making a mockery of claims it would be a "new deterrent".

AI is a distraction from what it means to be truly human, says Dr David Bell. We should aim for far greater things, find again the vastness of the jewelled sky and the light that only shines in another's eye.

When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

British TV grows more and more unwatchable with each passing day. That might be because BAFTA is on a mission to transform every TV show into climate propaganda ? and it's just stepped up a gear, says Steven Tucker.

Well all can say is , it was the dullest May Day I have ever been on......and I'm not talking about the weather! The efforts to drum up some chants by a female SIPTU official was only made worse by the half hearted grunts she got in response.
There was about 200-300 in attendance.

What efforts do the organisers put in to ensure a big turn out for this? Or do they want a big turn out? The speeches and music were all professionally done....though I don't know if the content of the speeches was anything better than the spin and claptrap we usually get from the big brass, but the music was great.
