Let’s get all these documents out in the public domain so we can see. A synodal approach.
Holy See spox Matteo Bruni this morning at pressconf said doc cited by @dianemontagna is just one of many that led to #TraditionisCustodes. Criticizes “partial and incomplete” picture she presents of the decision-making process. Says other documents and contributions were key.

I doubt very much he is being prosecuted under the Human Rights Act; more likely under one of the various statutes that rightly seek to protect other road users from reckless and dangerous cycling. Naturally he thinks this is an outrage.
I recently got stopped & ticketed by the City of London Police for, & I kid you not, “cycling no handed”. Even though it’s clearly not an offence, the officer said they were ticketing me under the Human Rights Act as I was infringing other people’s Article 2 ‘Right to Life’, in

Well done, @BBCNews for continuing to expose the takeover of our high streets by the trade in illegal cigarettes,. The idea that the govt’s “generational smoking ban” will do anything but fuel more crime is frankly ludicrous. Give it up.

Fat-free, smoke-free, natural gas free, wealth-free. Labour’s vision.
EXCL: Britain will be “fat free” within a decade, paving the way for £6billion of tax cuts, Wes Streeting tells The Sun. The Health Secretary says he’s on a mission to slash levies by giving more people access to drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro.

No, the U.K. does not need to do more. Let’s get off our knees.
I was warning in April that UK-EU relations were already starting to sour amid evident splits in Brussels (across all trade files, not just with the UK), that the summit would be a success, but what followed may well be struggle. And here we are.

She’s right, taxpayers.
Tonight we voted for a 16% increase in Universal Credit over the next 4 years. That will make a massive difference in people’s pockets. 🌹.

Government by stakeholders.
I’m proud to have secured from the dispatch box a further assurance to the Universal Credit and Personal Independent Payment Bill. A commitment to meaningful coproduction of the new system and a future understanding that no changes to support for disabled people will take place

Any sensible inquiry into the size of the Lords needs to ask: what does it do? is it worth doing? how many full-time equivalent peers do you need to do it? and, if you don’t want full-time peers, how many part-timers do you need to produce that FTE number?.
I just don’t see why it would be such a bad thing to have a House of 1,500 peers. The engaged ones will turn up to speak/vote, others won’t, you’ve a larger pool of talent and expertise, & a lot of work can be done through committees. Keep the hereditaries, don’t cap numbers 👍🇬🇧.
