- England’s World Cup progress and the heated debate around nationalism and Jude Bellingham
- Bernard Randall’s legal victory after years of being targeted for orthodox Christian teaching
- The Church of England’s continued push for £100 million in slavery reparations (Project Spire) amid parish struggles
