The Intelligence: Coming to a Nikki end
2024/02/26
After a 20-point primary walloping in South Carolina, the state she governed for eight years, Nikki Haley vowed to fight on against Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination. But why?

The Weekend Intelligence: Give a dog his ban
2024/02/23
In the summer of 2023 Lawrence Newport, a legal academic, started noticing some large dogs in his neighbourhood. Intrigued, he did some research. It revealed that these dogs descend from the pit bull terrier, a breed banned in the UK. But their descendents were much, much bigger. And they were already responsible for a rapidly increasing number of fatalities. This is the story of one man’s fight to get the American XL Bully dog banned.

The Intelligence: Faith-based reeling
2024/02/20
