The police are investigating The Telegraph's Allison Pearson for a social media post despite everyday crime going largely unsolved.

Essex Police chose the morning of Remembrance Sunday to visit our Telegraph colleague Allison Pearson and inform her they were investigating a year-old social media post under Section 17 of the Public Order Act 1986 relating to material “likely or intended to cause racial hatred”.

Kamal and Tim Stanley ask why our police forces seem perfectly capable of following up on remarks made in an online environment, whilst everyday crimes like burglaries and sexual offences go largely unsolved.

And what next for the beaten up Democrats in the US? They ask Governor Phil Murphy from New Jersey how his party lost so badly and what they do next.
