The unions are on the rise again. The Royal Mail dispute illustrates that concerted union action could frustrate the Tories’ reform agenda in the future. James Forsyth reveals how the Tories plan to tame the unions.
The BNP are using the public’s real fear of Islamism to attract support for their racist movement, says Melanie Phillips. If the political class wants to take on Griffin, it must first join the fight against Islamofascism.

The Press Complaints Commission received a record number of complaints following the publication of Jan Moir’s Stephen Gately article. There is no telling what conclusions the PCC will draw, but Matthew Parris warns that we should think very carefully before calling for censorship in any quarter.
And Rod Liddle sees no reason for Jan Moir to apologise for speculating about the death of the boy-band singer Stephen Gately. Dancing on graves is what journalists do.
