It was the last week of sitting in most legislatures around the country this week, with the notable exception of the House of Lords, which will continue to put in a hard day’s work until next Thursday. So what have they been cramming in before the end of term non-uniform day and afternoon films on […]

One of the most striking images of the nuclear age has always been that of the Doomsday Clock. Maintained since the late nineteen-forties by the members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, it provides a subjective (and rather reductionist) metaphorical assessment of exactly how close mankind is to existential catastrophe.
