Following the transfer of Southport killer Axel Rudakubana to Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital, questions have resurfaced over whether Britain could ever reintroduce capital punishment for offenders like him. The legal reality is that doing so would require Parliament to dismantle decades of domestic and international human rights law, and even then, could almost certainly not be applied retrospectively to his case. Axel Rudakubana, who is serving a 52-year custodial sentence for the Southport murders, has recently been transferred from Belmarsh prison to Broadmoor secure hospital on clinical grounds, the Ministry of Justice has confirmed. His case has reignited public debate…

A red heifer calf born on a dairy farm in Israel’s Galilee Mountains is drawing international attention from rabbinical scholars and researchers focused on biblical Temple law, after examination found the animal unusually pure in coloration and free from the physical defects that would typically disqualify it. The National Institute for Red Cow Research, in a report shared by the Temple Institute, announced the birth of the calf, named Tamima, describing the result as unusual given that crossings between dairy cattle and the Red Angus breed used in the insemination typically produce black or dark-coloured offspring. Rabbi Azaria Ariel, a…

Activists campaigning for Rupert Lowe’s Restore party attended a summit of white supremacists alongside neo-Nazis just weeks before canvassing for votes in this week’s knife-edge Makerfield by-election, the Mail on Sunday can reveal, as Lowe insisted he does not care if his party’s presence in the race hands victory to Labour leadership hopeful Andy Burnham. Among those campaigning for Restore in the constituency on Saturday was Callum Barker, described as a “hardened neo-Nazi,” who attended the Remigration Summit in Figueira da Foz, Portugal, two weeks earlier. Remigration is a far-right concept referring to the mass deportation of non-white minority populations,…

Divers working to remove abandoned fishing nets from a shipwreck in the Strait of Sicily have captured the first ever footage of an adult great white shark in the Mediterranean Sea in its natural habitat — a discovery that researchers say is of major scientific significance and could reshape understanding of where the world’s most feared predator now roams. The encounter was filmed by Derk Remmers, a diver from ocean conservation organisation Healthy Seas, while the team was recovering ghost nets from a wreck located in the Strait of Sicily, a key biodiversity hotspot between Sicily and Tunisia that is…

TikTok has removed a Britannia Daily post calling for justice for murder victim Henry Nowak within seconds of it being published — issuing the outlet an account strike for “hate speech and hateful behaviour” — while an almost identical post referencing George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement posted minutes later remained live on the platform without any action being taken. The double standard has sparked accusations of politically motivated censorship and two-tier content moderation from the social media giant. Britannia Daily posted an image on its @britannia.daily TikTok account at 22:23 on 2 June showing the handcuffed hands…

There used to be a comforting fiction at the heart of British foreign policy — that whatever the occasional turbulence, the United States could be relied upon as the ultimate guarantor of our security and the senior partner in a relationship so close as to need no real examination. That fiction has been quietly disintegrating for the best part of a decade. This week, it was demolished. A leaked Pentagon memorandum, first reported by Reuters, proposed that Washington reassess its long-standing endorsement of British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands as a way of punishing the United Kingdom for declining to join…

For the fourth time in as many weeks, an anonymous trader placed a nine- or ten-figure bet against the price of oil in the minutes before Donald Trump announced a shift in American policy on the Iran war. Each time, the direction of the wager was correct. Each time, the profits materialised almost the instant the president typed out his Truth Social post. And each time, regulators, members of Congress and industry analysts have asked the same uncomfortable question: who knew, and how did they know? The pattern — sitting alongside a separate, wider set of questions about the Trump…
