Parents need to stop whining about Sats

"We are brought up that nothing is unbearable. I use that now, positively. I use that now to have the thick skin that I have, and not fear, and move forward, and push; and push forward." - Joyce Banda

Some parents will do anything to remove all risks of harm to their children but in doing so are they failing to prepare their offspring for the real world? Our first piece today looks at the campaign against primary school Sats and suggests that it's this type of mollycoddling that turns thin-skinned kids into the type of hyper-sensitive students who are offended by almost everything.

Prostitution is the one subject that everyone seems to have an opinion on but few really know much about. Or at least, that's the view of the writer and feminist Julie Bindell who today writes for Politics.co.uk about the need for liberals to face up to the harm the sex industry does to women. 

With the EU referendum debate heating up we  report that anti EU-campaigners have been fined £50,000 for sending more than half a million unsolicited texts urging people to vote to leave the EU. 

And, we've got our verdict on today's PMQs which suggests that Corbyn is failing to hold the prime minister to account. The Labour leader's use of long and confusing questions means Cameron can simply pick and choose the easiest parts to answer.
