Stephen White, 40, shares on Premier Christian Radio about the many sacrifices made in order to provide his son Josiah, 14, with a Christian education. He is one of 13 claimants supported by the Christian Legal Centre who have launched an application for a judicial review over the government’s VAT tax raid on private and independent schools.

Those bringing the challenge include the award-winning Emmanuel School in Derby, the Branch Christian School in Yorkshire, the King’s School in Hampshire and the Wyclif Independent Christian School in South Wales.

Church of England chaplain Rev. Dr Bernard Randall spoke to Martin Stanford on LBC this morning. He is pursuing a judicial review of a decision not to allow a disciplinary case to proceed against the Bishop Libby Lane, who was found to have wrongly blacklisted him as a safeguarding risk for giving a sermon on identity politics. Before seeking permission for a judicial review, Dr Randall also handed in a CitizenGO petition signed by more than 40,000 people calling on Justin Welby to apologise and give him his life and career back.

'Parents feel such pressure to be friends with their children and to just go along with them. Actually it's healthy to discipline them for things they do wrong - they appreciate it. They need clear boundaries of right and wrong.'

Three schools in Scotland are officially recognising 'species dysphoria' in children who identify as wolves and other animals. Tim Dieppe was on Premier Christian Radio with youth pastor Sarah Williams and host Esther Higham to discuss godly ways in which parents should respond to schools and point their children to God's design - in his image, male and female.

Steve Beegoo was in conversation with former Labour MP Stephen Pound and Esther Higham about the overlooked problems in Labour's proposed tax on private schools, and how it would disproportionally penalise faith-based, special needs and small private schools.

"We don't legalise to kill in this country. It would be devastating not just for those who are saying they want it, but for those who are in difficult situations and need to be told: You are beautiful, you are dignified, there is hope."

Ahead of the first reading of Kim Leadbeater's bill to legalise assisted suicide on Wednesday 16 October, our Chief Executive Andrea Williams speaks with LBC about the far-reaching consequences of a change in law, seen in countries where it has been legalised.

She speaks of the truly compassionate alternative - help and community which bring hope and beauty to those in despair.

Residents have been told that being on private property is no bar to prosecution under the new abortion law in Scotland. A letter sent to residents in an Edinburgh “safe access zone,” seen by The Telegraph, warned they could face criminal prosecution if they do “anything” that “would cause harassment, alarm, or distress” to staff and women seeking abortions.

Andrea Williams tells Premier Christian Radio why we have always opposed the implementation of buffer zones around abortion facilities, and shares about countless arrests that have been made for praying silently or holding a sign within the area.
