Not sure if this is renvoi or double renvoi.* *A rather niche private international law joke - but in fact this Whitehall farce isn’t funny at all.

The public are being lied to about the China spy scandal. It’s time the Attorney General comes clean about what he knew.

🔴 WARNING for New Jersey: VOTE NO on Radical Mikie Sherrill. She’ll TRAP our kids in failing schools… She’ll OPPOSE school choice scholarships… She’ll send BILLIONS of education $ to other states… VOTE NO on Mikie Sherrill. Make a plan to vote:

You can refer to as much “wider context” as you like, but you have not responded to the point, repeatedly put by the officer in the interview, that wearing the Star of David was a “provocation”. Why have you not responded to that central issue?

Perhaps @metpoliceuk might publish a map of London showing those areas where someone can wear a Star of David necklace or a Kipa (skullcap) without facing arrest. And (in due course) a wall might be erected around those areas - for their own safety, you understand.

A reminder to the Chief Constable of @WMPolice: “policing by consent” does not mean that the police need the consent of the mob. The “thin blue line” has never seemed thinner.

Interesting that we’ve still heard nothing from @SimonFosterPCC the West Midlands’ Police & Crime Commissioner. With his police force capitulating to mob threats, perhaps Mr Foster might consider renaming his latest initiative “Operation Fearful”?

The Gov’t said only last week that Jews are welcome and safe in the UK - unless, it seems, you’re a Jewish football fan living in the world’s largest Jewish community in the only Jewish state. A Judenrein football match, in 2025. A day of shame for the UK.

.@LordCFalconer’s astute defence of the Gov’t in his 🧵below rests on a key factual point: that the paragraph downplaying the threat from China was contained in *both* the 2nd statement pre-charge under the last Conservative Gov’t, *and also* in the 3rd statement post-charge

The hostages released today have shown superhuman endurance in the face of evil. The abduction of men, women and children on Oct 7th was a calculated cruelty to break body, mind and soul after inflicting the mindless horror of rape and murder. No cause, no grievance, can ever

Every committee has someone who only turns up for the group photo.

Simchat Torah, the festival on which Hamas attacked and took the hostages captive two years ago, is unusual in one respect: we complete the annual Torah reading cycle at the end of Deuteronomy - but we then immediately make a new start by reading the first chapter of Genesis. So

“There is no offence of blasphemy in our law. Burning a Koran may be an act that many Muslims find desperately upsetting and offensive. The criminal law, however, is not a mechanism that seeks to avoid people being upset, even grievously upset. The right to freedom of expression,

Poor Jeremy. His worst nightmare. President Trump has achieved a deal, and Tony Blair is involved, too. Maybe that's why he didn't celebrate the release of the hostages. Or perhaps* he doesn't care. * he doesn't

The one thing missing from this statement - understandably - is the credit due to Adam & Adam for their constant wise advice, perseverance and tenacity.

They’ll now be thanking President Trump for achieving the ceasefire they demanded … won’t they?

So kind of @campbellclaret to confirm to his global audience that I’m “clearly quite a serious lawyer”. As Andy Warhol predicted, everyone will be remembered for 45 minutes (or something like that…).

For “never”, read “about 20 times”. A “major omission” is not to read the document on which you’re commenting. As you’ve now done this (at least) twice, I won’t reply to your points further.

Look who’s talking now! $KOID-bot speaks to @cvpayne for the first time in public for a segment about why 2025 could be the year of humanoid robots. The KOID-bot joined Jonathan Krane, CEO of KraneShares, and Teddy Haggerty, CEO of @RobostoreUS, who discussed the current state of
