The thing about national 'community cohesion' is it is held by a centre of gravity comprising the majority of citizens bought into a social contract that's coming apart at frightening speed. That's not an ethnic, religious or racial majority, by the way it's just decent people.

The government must come up with short term solutions to this serious threat to social cohesion. Whatever is done, absolute honestly and transparency by police at pace is essential. 6/6.

There's a gathering storm of legitimate popular anger over migrant crime which is very ominous, is being weaponised, and has the potential to spill into the sort of disorder the police would really struggle to contain. 5/.

Similarly if they aren't this would be useful information to calm speculation. Cops have actually done well apprehending /charging at speed. I can't see any absolute proscription on the disclosure of this data. Merseyside cops understood they got this wrong over Southport. 4/.

The longer Warwickshire police obfuscate over details the easier it is for social media to inflame opinion. I've no idea what the precise status of the alleged offenders is but if they are asylum seekers, already over represented in crimes, the public have a right to know. 3/.

And once again sophistry trumps common sense. Releasing a statement that says in effect national rules don't require us to disclose immigration status does not mean you can't. I'm in despair about the failure to learn tactical comms lessons of 12 months ago. 2/.

No doubt the police are in an invidious position regarding immigration status of the alleged rapists of a 12 year old girl in Nuneaton. But failure to disclose relevant, accurate information fast led to worst public disorder last summer since 2011. No substitute for truth. 1/

Philosophical belief is also a protected characteristic. But the test is complex and the bar is high. Interesting to see how this plays out.

Psychology 101 - John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth on attachment theory. The mutual gaze between mother and baby is essential to future emotional security. It's absolutely fine to be deeply discomfited by this image promoted by a public authority.

Made me laugh anyway.

Misreading things is often better than real life .#BePrepared

This former council house corner boy calls bullshit. We want the best people to run our public services not the winners of some prolaterian bingo game designed by people bred in think tanks.

It's *always* overcrowding. Officials walked out of Oakhill aghast at the brutality and chaos. Oakhill has 70 kids in custody, not full. The Youth Custody Service has 1,371 staff. Do the math @ShabanaMahmood This is institutionalised corporate failure on your watch.

The calibre and competence of the senior management of this closed shop public service who glide from failure to failure without ever being accountable is the other explanation for our wrecked prison service. But not one ministers ever grasp. 5/.

So, the senior official who presided over this catastrophic oversight failure is now in charge of facilities holding most of the terrorist national security risk in the United Kingdom. 4/.

The HMPPS senior director nominally accountable for these failures (salary £120-£125k) has been recently moved without any fanfare to be Executive Director for Long Term and High Security Prisons. 3/.

They said: 'Despite multiple layers of governance, quality assurance mechanisms and management grip are weak across critical areas of practice.' 2/.

Inspectors walked out of Oakhill Secure Training Centre for young people and issued a red flag warning to Ministers about conditions there. 1/
