Even if you have £460m you only have one stomach. You can only eat one meal at a time. You can only wear one suit. Drive one car. And live in one house at a time. So pay the tax. Let someone else eat a meal.

I have to say as justifications go. That was the worst account I’ve ever heard. And I’ve heard a lot of police interviews. I even heard one where the accused pretended to be his own non-existent, identical but estranged twin brother. Dominic Cummings was worse by miles

To all the snowflakey kids out there. When we were kids. We used this. It’s called medicated toilet tissue. But the best way to describe it is greaseproof paper once soaked in dettol for added sting. Why greasePROOF paper was considered even remotely fit for the job is beyond me!

He’s not furious. He doesn’t care about justice. It’s a sound-bite. What he cares about is himself. It’s vanity that makes him pretend to care what happens to victims of crime. If he cared - he’d have met us. He refused. Repeatedly. He’s a coward. We’re here waiting

We really should just buy a book from an independent bookshop. Actually. Think on this. It’s Valetines Day soon. A card is £3.50-£5.99 and has about 5 words in it. But a book is the same price. With 100k words in it! ❤️
Can all the writers I know please retweet with a variation on 'Please buy a book from an independent bookshop?' And readers too, of course.

We didn’t have books growing up. And the schools I went to didn’t either. We had a great library nearby but we didn’t have parents who knew which the good books were. So it was with a real thrill that I bought my 5 yo a R Dahl collection. We are discovering them together 5 & 51yo

You might wonder why we are on strike. The really simple answer is that we aren’t being paid a living wage. That’s a bigger problem than it seems because it ends up with a criminal bar stocked only with people who have private means. That ends up creating a judiciary that is

1. Teaching is a profession. Many feel honoured to teach. But not a “privilege” in the sense you mean. It’s employment
2. The pay is not good enough. Many earn just £28k pa. Many have 2nd jobs

“The alleged behaviour of some asylum seekers”. Not even trying for spin - just going straight for lies. A lawyer who is also Home Sec should know that the accurate term for this is violent disorder. Fanned without a doubt, by her own divisive and hate-filled rhetoric. Time to go
I condemn the appalling disorder in Knowsley last night. The alleged behaviour of some asylum seekers is never an excuse for violence and intimidation. Thank you to

Just for the non-lawyers out there. A RASSO trial is for a rape or serious sexual offence. And your government and the ones before have so systematically defunded the criminal justice system that this is happening. Prosecuting a trial on no notice. What if that was your case?
In a new low, CPS staff at one of the London Crown Courts have sent an email to all prosecuting counsel appearing there this morning asking whether anyone can take on a RASSO trial *starting at 1030*.
Imagine being the complainant or defendant in that trial.
