In a fiery news week, useful and temperate article by @geraldine_mck ( who utterly deserves her place in the pantheon with the late Andrew Norfolk and @CDP1882 ) https://t.co/J7OuTqhNv7

@GBNEWS Chair of the Telford Inquiry Tom Crowther, the barrister picked by the government to lead the (yet to launch) Oldham inquiry, has given his reaction

Britain’s justice machine is broken. https://t.co/iHEgJtwSXx

On Friday, following a second hung jury, a client represented by Nick Jones (led by @TECQC of @23EssexStreet and instructed by @LuNicholls and Bhavna Kerai of Nicholls & Nicholls) was formally found not guilty of murder and manslaughter at Inner London Crown Court. The case

Imagine starting a car that hadn't run in 21 years, that's 15 billion miles away in interstellar space. That's what the @NASA team just did with @NASAVoyager's thrusters. People are amazing. https://t.co/Bk9dOj99s9

Grateful to @JournoJess_ and @guardian for the opportunity to talk about what @Official_IITCSE achieved in #Telford https://t.co/4fkA7Bl3tP

‘You are asking people to relive their trauma.’ Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham has just called for a national inquiry into grooming gangs. If we did have one, would Westminster achieve anything? @IsabelHardman discusses on Spectator TV. https://t.co/uRRmayAO4L

🚨 NEW: Jess Phillips says she turned down a government-led inquiry into the grooming gangs in Oldham because a locally led one in Telford meant 'things changed, way quicker' "I will base my decisions on evidence not on very rich men in America." https://t.co/oTuHcM3emx

The Conservative party accuses Keir Starmer of refusing to take child abuse seriously. In other news here's former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson complaining about £60 million being "spaffed up the wall" investigating historic child abuse cases

Survivors of Telford abuse crimes & the mums of two women murdered by boyfriends say of the Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips that ‘no one in public life has done more to support victims and survivors and to advocate for their interests’ https://t.co/idKx2kJN5W

Very pleased to have been asked to work with the Gvt and councils on #CSE to ensure the successful approach of @Official_IITCSE is replicated; each town will have survivors like Holly Archer, @TThriver and @AGirlWorthMore. Survivor voices must be heard and be integral to change.

@CPhilpOfficial @Debbie_abrahams Cooper responded by saying @TECQC regularly follows up progress in Telford and that this model could be replicated into other towns at a local level.

Journalists should be ready to ignore the social media agenda. Somehow this talk from the end of last year feels particularly relevant today.
