Tomorrow, (Weds 2 April) the Darlington nurses will be in court at a preliminary hearing in Newcastle for the beginning of their landmark case.

A group of street preachers are at the centre of what is believed to be an unprecedented legal battle with a local authority which has tried to impose an injunction, without proper consultation, that would criminalise Christian prayer, singing and evangelism.

Next week at the High Court, the government will face a Judicial Review of its unprecedented VAT policies on private and independent Christian schools.

Leader of the Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has given her full support to the Darlington nurses after meeting them in Westminster. 

A senior Christian nurse faces losing her career after she was investigated and disciplined by an NHS Trust for refusing to refer to a male child sex offender patient as a woman.
