We've heard many times that 'Brexit means Brexit' but with negotiations with the EU scheduled to start just 11 days after the vote, in the next two weeks we should all be clearer on what Brexit really means.

The last time corners were cut it was the Blair government, and MI6, who helped abduct my clients - a Libyan opposition figure and his heavily pregnant wife - and put them on a one-way flight to a Libyan dictator's torture chambers. It made no difference that Abdul-Hakim Belhaj only opposed Gaddafi, that the West was not his enemy, nor that of his blameless wife. Because of MI6's actions - and the decision in the realpolitik of the day to cosy up to Gaddafi, 'human rights' or basic decency be damned -- they were brutalised just the same.

The Tories were supposed to win by a landslide. But since she called the election, Theresa May's lead over Labour has tumbled. Some pollsters put her lead at just four points. Though a healthy Tory majority is still on the cards, Labour look set to win more of the vote than they did under Ed Miliband in 2015. And that's bad, but not for the reason you might think.

It is no wonder that Diane is a target. Her record on justice and equality from cuts, to racism, to anti-war campaigning, LGBT, women's rights will be remembered as she was promoting these positions long before they were popular. The choice in this election is between two visions of a society that is to come.

The result of the 3Ts is an election which is much more difficult than most to call. The effect of these imponderables is that some recent polls have suggested spreads of more than 80 seats in terms of likely outcome for the Tories. Of course, it could still all turn out that election night ends up as the boring triumph that Theresa May initially hoped for. However, if the 3Ts really play a part then we could all be in for an evening of exciting surprises...

It quickly became clear that this election, apparently called on the Brexit prospectus, had already got away from the Prime Minister, that voters had other ideas for what they wanted this election to be about. And that once again, we journalists had misunderstood the contours of the way people think about politics and had underestimated the remaining strength of class solidarity between working class and Labour.

Manifestos from all parties have followed the same logic, imprisoned by the terms of a debate they did not set. The blind following the blind. Parties should recognise this and, at the next election, follow Theresa May in not costing their manifestos at all.

Some people might think that would be anathema for a business owner in a difficult economic climate, made all the trickier with Brexit approaching, as Labour have often been painted as the anti-business party. But Labour are the clear and only choice for me. Let me explain why.

If cancer is cruel then waiting for those results was pure malevolence. But I'm a mum so life went on. I clicked into autopilot - dropping the kids off at school, running errands, supervising homework. I never once let on to my children that my life was hanging in the balance.

There are a number of barriers to overcome first - when you have a learning disability, society makes everything - including exercising your democratic rights - much harder. There are no figures available on how many of the UK's 1.5 million people with learning disabilities voted in 2015, but if our experience is typical, the answer is not many.

I was 14 when my mum first took me to the doctor for help with an eating disorder and it had never occurred to me that it could be damaging my fertility. That was the wake up call I needed, I knew having my own family was something I wanted in my future. The dream of becoming a mum was my recovery.

Nathan, in partnership with his colleague Leon Hady, wants to transform how GCSE students revise for English Literature. With an aim of teaching one million students, the pair - through the TuitionKit platform - have launched a set of hip-hop poetry videos that take on core texts and poems from the curriculum and turn them into rap.

The next thing we knew, we'd been chained, blindfolded, and were being taken to a secret military unit for a medical exam. At the time we wondered why they would bother checking our health. It was to confirm we could withstand electric shock treatment, and the other goodies on offer at the ultra secure base - known to the guards as 'The Farm'.

Visiting the polling station with your parents on election day isn't your traditional family day out. But my son aged six and twins aged four have asked to come along. They know it's also their future we will be voting for.

After re-mortgaging the house to pay for them, and almost breaking my puny arms carrying them (those glossy adverts are weighty) I settled down with a cup of tea to discover... that weddings are now essentially a Mad Hatter's tea party on stilts, at Disneyland, where everyone is on acid.

As the UK prepares for an election on Thursday, we should be alert to the hidden tactics that could influence the result. But it's also damaging to be dystopian. As with many aspects of our rapidly changing world, AI could fundamentally disrupt democracy or bolster it, and the outcome will depend on our actions. It's our responsibility to ensure that the opportunities are maximised just as the risks are minimised.

The multi-lingual, multi-cultural nature of the show understandably pulled in an international fanbase and the show's focus on timely issues only further cemented the loyalty it received from its diverse audience.

There is one very clear point that needs to be made again and again. It's one Theresa May herself made in the wake of the London attack at the weekend. She said the UK's commitment to human rights is one of the cherished values that terrorist seek to destroy. And she affirmed that "our society should continue to function in accordance with our values". She was right then, wrong now. Let's not do the terrorist's bidding. Let's stand behind our principles and freedoms.

Do you really want to look around in two years' time and see a country turned into a low wage tax haven for big business because of Theresa May's weak and wobbly stance in the Brexit negotiations? Do you want the economy to be battered by a hard Brexit for years to come and to see food banks, homelessness, privatised health services and inequality increasing even more as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? The good news is, this Thursday there's an opportunity to change things.

We are the ones who feel the full force of a racist backlash each time a terrorist attack happens. We are the ones who are made to feel guilty, on the defensive, anxious that our children will be picked on in the playground, or that our colleagues are whispering behind our backs. We are the ones who are abused, sworn at, spat at, pushed, punched, kicked, beaten and even killed on British streets. Our homes and places of worship are petrol-bombed and have faeces posted through their doors.
