The honours system is meant to recognise service and good character. A new petition asks whether David Walliams’ OBE should be reviewed. It comes after the comedian and author was accused of sexual misconduct and grooming girls as young as 15, in an investigation by The Guardian and ITN. He denies the allegations.

Gracie Spinks was 23 when she was killed by the man she had reported to police for stalking. Other women had complained about him too, but police gave him “words of advice” instead of interviewing him. An inquest found Gracie was unlawfully killed.

Laura Richards, former head of the Met’s Homicide Prevention Unit, wants a public register of convicted abusers and stalkers, with the most dangerous serial perpetrators managed like sex offenders.

Job ads that say “competitive salary”, we see you.

James is pushing for a law that makes every job ad include the salary. The government says it will act, but it’s not law yet. And if it does go through, James says it needs to stop salary ranges so wide they’re meaningless.

Russell Brand was sentenced today to 10 years and six months for rape and sexual assault.

Earlier this year, he could have been eligible for earlier release under the Sentencing Act. That changed in August, when the government excluded rape following public pressure, including Jade Belgrove’s petition, now signed by 131,102 people.

Jade waived her anonymity to campaign on this. She wants every sexual offender to serve their full sentence.

50,000 people and counting are calling for an independent review of Judge Ian Lawrie KC’s sentencing decisions.

The petition was started after a 14-year-old who attacked a girl with a knife in Cirencester avoided prison. At sentencing, the judge told him custody was “the last place you should be.”

In cases involving rape, strangulation and sexual offences against children the Judge handed down suspended or non-custodial sentences. The Court of Appeal has since changed two of them.

AI chatbot toys are being sold as Christmas gifts for children as young as three.

When Alliance 4 Children tested one of these toys, they found that innocent questions were met with sexual responses. Now they’ve started a petition asking Amazon, eBay and other online marketplaces to take these toys off sale until independent testing proves they’re safe.

They’re also calling on the UK Government to stop their sale under the Consumer Protection Act, and to introduce a safety standard that covers psychological, developmental and privacy harms, not just physical ones.

The government has announced plans to make it a legal requirement for employers to include salaries in job adverts.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham confirmed the “say what you pay” law this week, and businesses are being encouraged to start publishing pay ranges now. No date has been set for the legislation yet.

James Gwinnett started a petition calling for this change in May 2025. It has since been signed by 2,685 people.

Should Christmas songs wait until December?

From today, adult content showing someone pretending to be under 16 is illegal in England and Wales. But a group of Oxfordshire schoolgirls has spotted the gap: put an adult in a school uniform, say she’s 17, and it’s still allowed.

Shakespeare, a starship captain, Professor X - and through all of it, a Huddersfield Town supporter.

After Sir Patrick Stewart died last week, his team wore black armbands for him at the derby against Bradford. Now a fan-started petition is asking the club to go further and rename the Riverside Stand, the ground’s main stand, the Sir Patrick Stewart Stand.

A permanent place at the club he followed all his life. You can sign here: https://t.co/9uQOCdzYnh

A 14-year-old girl was attacked with a kitchen knife in a Cirencester shop. The boy who did it was given a 12-month referral order and a three-year restraining order. Because the case was handled in a youth court, it can’t be sent for review as too lenient.

The same judge, Ian Lawrie KC, handed a suspended sentence to a teenager convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl. He also gave community orders to a man who strangled his partner until she lost consciousness. That man was later jailed for 34 months on appeal.

More than 35,000 people are now calling for an independent review of Judge Lawrie’s sentencing decisions. You can add your name: https://t.co/NDU6ct6OOC

“These are essentially small bombs.” That’s how Alan Smith describes the fireworks that killed his mum.

Josephine Smith, 88, was asleep in her Romford home in October 2021 when a firework was pushed through her letterbox. The fireworks had been sold to a 15-year-old, who told staff he wanted to throw them at police and ‘terrorise people’.

Alan wants Challenge 25 made compulsory for every firework sale, along with quieter fireworks and use limited to key dates like Bonfire Night and New Year.

With Bonfire Night on Thursday, nearly 70,000 people have signed. If you agree, you can add your name: https://t.co/lXnB9QRR7H
