This week we saw the gulf that lies between the values of the Left and Right get even wider.

Cameron had a few good moments at PMQs today. He blasted Dennis Skinner for living in "Dinosaur Land" and was able to quote today's encouraging employment news. He was able to talk about the Coalition's very popular benefits cap after a question from Anna Soubry (who, incidentally, put in an excellent performance on last week's BBC1 Question Time). And, thirdly, he embarassed the Labour benches by noting that a health expert who recommended NHS privatisation advised the last Labour government, not this Coalition (watch a video of the clip).

The gang-rape of Mukhtaran Mai launched a nine-year court battle that concluded with a verdict by the Supreme Court of Pakistan acquitting all but one of the accused. Her case illustrates how both the formal and informal systems of justice share the same hostility to women who defy social norms and demand justice in cases of rape, says Ayesha Khan.
