My lad put a plan of his school down on his list for Father Christmas. This is probably a bad sign.

Amazing photo
The clock face of Big Ben was barely visible as thick fog covered London on Thursday morning.

Hahahahaha. They’re not ignoring sainted doctors randomly showing up at the doorstep are they?
#tiktoklive I arrived at HMP Bronzefield just after 4am to witness two NHS doctors imploring staff at the prison to allow access to a hospital. Please note that several woman have lost their lives in the privately run prison. It costs £65k a year to jail a woman here. What are

And now I’m here in Camden, London and I think I may have just taken a photo that perfectly encapsulates 2025. Diversity barriers on top of a Pride flag painted on the road.

Swann, who I always enjoyed, is not a great commentator. You have to be vastly more substantial to warrant that much time talking about how good you were. Like fucking hell.

Ugh. Discovery+ has decided to become a giant arsehole about VPNs. I’m English. I pay for the channel in England. I can’t watch the cricket in this country on any local channel. You lose nothing! Why??? Who is the winner here?

“She is safe”. From fucking what??? It’s simply depressing that this grift gets traction.
Qesser’s family has confirmed she is safe and is continuing her hunger strike. This is only because of the relentless pressure applied by everyone who protested for her right to medical care. Ambulances should not be blocked. We demand immediate bail for all remand prisoners.

I blame the 60s for this.
I think people that are scared of beavers are the people that like to manage the land completely as if it's a garden. Farmers and people that breed birds for game shooting and all that kind of stuff. I mean, for them, the land is only natural when it's what they've set it out

That’s appears relevant to something. In a serious world, assuming sensible ears will hear it, seems like it should be part of reasonable conversations.
One thing we do already have is a breakdown of prisoners by nationality and offence. 42% of Bangladeshis, 37% of Kenyans, 35% of Sudanese and 34% of Nigerians in British prisons are being held for sex offences, compared to 19% of Britons. https://t.co/NFbSSFOAnc

Though obviously, best way to avoid that is to leave sledgehammers to the construction workers.

On the hunger strike wibble. I will say that so long on pre-trial remand is a disgrace. Obviously that’s a feature of backed up courts and not some dastardly tyrannical impulse. But still, by the time of trial it will have been vastly too long to be reasonable.

I’ll take those odds.
Death may be imminent for some of the Palestine hunger strikers currently imprisoned without trial. Such a tragedy has precedent, argues @AyoCaesar on Novara Live. The reputation of the British state has never recovered since the Irish hunger strikes of the '80s.

In this country we often talk about how grim and troubling it is that American schools have to have shooter protocols and drills. And yet we ignore that one - only one - group of schoolchildren in this country face exactly the same thing, right here.
Thank you to all the parents and teachers who talked to me for a piece explaining what it is like sending your child to a Jewish school, knowing they are targets for antisemites: ‘As the siren sounded, the students immediately left their desks and got into position either

Getting there. It’s an improvement.
It’s not 11-year-old boys who are committing violence against women and girls. We need to get people who have come from cultures that don’t respect women out of our country! Not all cultures are equally valid. Labour’s plan to lecture schoolboys to respect women and girls is a
