The contentious execution of Christa Pike (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Tennessee woman, convicted of murder, has survived attempts to execute her by lethal injection. She was rushed to hospital, still breathing, after receiving two doses of pentobarbital. Christa Pike was scheduled for execution yesterday and, after a late stay was overturned, would have been the first woman put to death in Tennessee for more than 200 years. Now the 50-year-old’s botched capital punishment has drawn fresh attention to concerns about the fairness of her murder trial. Early yesterd
St Andrews’ brewing class row (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A debate has broken out at the University of St Andrews after a former student accused the establishment of having a “culture of anti-Scottish classism”.

The thefts occurred across multiple properties and required a sophisticated operation, with the thieves taki
Hung parliament: who could form a coalition after the next general election? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Britain is on course for a hung parliament with no party securing an overall majority in the next general election, according to a YouGov MRP poll that predicts how constituencies would vote. Labour would be the biggest party with 241 seats, 85 short of an outright majority; the Conservatives would be on 130, trailed by Reform on 123. With the Liberal Democrats at 71 and the Green Party on nine, it is likely to mean a scramble to form a coalition. Benjamin Disraeli famously said in 1852, “Englan
