'Where I live, going to a prestigious Russell Group university is rare enough, but aiming for Cambridge is unheard of. Nevertheless, my dream was to study either there, at University College London, or Imperial'

'But what I found, repeatedly, was that many outreach programmes and scholarships, set up, supposedly, to help pupils from deprived backgrounds, were only available to applicants from ethnic minorities'

A newly built housing estate in Shropshire has been handed over to asylum seekers. That’s 21 newbuilds worth £250,000 each, given to people with no connection to our country. Is Labour trying to lose the next election?, asks Hugo Timms

White working-class students are excluded from almost ALL Oxbridge diversity scholarships, analysis by The Telegraph has found.

There is a word for this.

It is racism.

Shabir Ahmed was convicted for 30 counts of child rape.

The idea that he could soon be walking the streets of Rochdale again is abhorrent.

If the law doesn't allow us to deport people like this, then the law is clearly wrong. The Government must change it.

North Yorkshire Police are seeking the identity of three people who they want to speak to after money was stolen from a woman in York.

The victim, who is in her 90s, was followed from Lloyds Bank in York city centre into Marks & Spencer on Parliament Street, on Friday 12 June. Once inside, she was approached by a group of people, who took cash from her. The victim only realised the money was missing when she went to pay for the items she had picked up. She was understandably left very distressed and upset.

As enquiries continue, officers have released CCTV images of three people they want to speak to, as they may have important information that could assist the investigation.

If you recognise them, please email [email protected] or phone North Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting reference number 12260108415.

'Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.'
1 Peter 2: 4-5

[Westminster Abbey @wabbey]

Today we celebrate the feast day of St Peter, apostle and martyr. St Peter has been the patron of Westminster Abbey since its foundation in 960AD, making our formal title the Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster.

If you're near the Abbey today, look out for St Peter's flag, which will be flying from our west towers. The flag combines the symbols of the two patron saints of the Abbey: the ring of St Edward the Confessor, king of England 1042–1066 and founder of the Abbey in 1065; and the keys of St Peter, keeper of the keys to the kingdom of heaven.

Queen Victoria was crowned in the Abbey #onthisday in 1838. The service was a grand affair, but wasn't without its mishaps. In her diary, Victoria recounted that ‘The Archbishop had (most awkwardly) put the ring on the wrong finger, and the consequence was that I had the greatest difficulty to take it off again, which I at last did with great pain.’ She did though say that the day was the proudest of her life.
