1984 is not âmore relevant than everâ â its nightmares differ from ours (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IS the story of George Orwellâs 1984 âmore relevant than ever beforeâ in 2026? Chris Hannanâs adaptation of the 1949 novel has been Âplaying at the Citizens Theatre in ÂGlasgow all month. Co-produced with Dundee Rep and Edinburghâs Royal ÂLyceum, the production is decamping to Dundee next week, before arriving in the capital in late October for an early winter run before the onset of panto season. Its opening stint in Glasgow can Âcertainly be reckoned a success. The auditoriums ha
Constitutional change matters â unless Scotland and Northern Ireland want a say (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THEREâS a particular kind of politician who spends years insisting that constitutional questions are boring, divisive and hopelessly irrelevant to ordinary people, only to discover, the moment they get into Downing Street, that constitutions are actually enormous fun. Welcome to the party, Andy. For years, we have been assured by the new Prime Ministerâs friends in ÂScottish Labour that discussions about where power lies are a distraction from the really Âimportant stuff of politics: bread
When the law has to step into act in the best interests of minors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MOST court decisions aren’t a matter of life and death – though I’m sure they often feel that way for folk affected by them.

But just occasionally, our judges find themselves called upon to take decisions on which the future of a human life literally hangs. I don’t envy them
Swell of support for this folk legend shows legal crowdfunding at its finest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
COPYRIGHT law hasn’t been good to me during 2026. Back in January, I accidentally maimed my left foot. A bear with a sore paw is considerably more mobile than I was for most of the month. Like a gouty Georgian monarch, I picked my way gingerly out of bed to a stack of Ibuprofen and took the executive decision to take a coup on the sofa and cheer myself up by completing my income tax self-assessment. Slumped, lame, taxed and feeling sorry for myself, an email pinged into my inbox. It was, to my s
See the show, or donât, but Amanda Knox was simply not the murderer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AMANDA Knox didnât kill Meredith Kercher. There are no âifsâ or âbutsâ about it. While some miscarriage of justice cases end with widespread recognition that a factually innocent person was wrongfully convicted â that they were not guilty of the crime they were accused of â the same unqualified grace has somehow never been extended to Knox, despite the better part of four years she spent in an Italian prison for a crime we know she did not commit. Knox was originally convicted of t
