A Labour council has been forced into a dramatic U-turn after it sought a court injunction to criminalise Christian prayer, singing and evangelism in public.

In a landmark judgment delivered this morning (16 April 2025), the Supreme Court has severely curtailed the secretive practices of the Family Division judges in cases involving withdrawal of life-saving treatment from critically ill children.

Christian nurse, Jennifer Melle, has been suspended by an NHS Trust after she spoke to the media about how she was investigated and disciplined for refusing to refer to a male child sex offender patient as a woman.

An Employment Tribunal judge has told an NHS Trust that if it does not now comply with proceedings 'it does so at its peril', following a decision today to adjourn the case to October. 

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