As he contemplates curtailing jury trials, justice secretary David Lammy might want to look at the Post Office scandal, where what little justice there was achieved in the criminal courts often came with the help of the 12 good men and women. Many sub-postmasters were of course

There you go. For those who still haven't understood.

Time for the British government to follow @PMalinauskasMP - ban social media for under 16s - with phone free schools - @Keir_Starmer time to lead?

I had a head injury recently, and was seen immediately with MRI, X-ray, blood tests, and advice. Also rapid follow up appointments. But I don’t conclude that everything with our NHS is perfect. Of course it’s not. But it’s not broken either.

The evidence is clear: when we remove single-sex spaces, women and girls pay the price. Mixed changing rooms are a magnet for predators. @Sport_England should act now to ensure Governing Bodies protect women and girls spaces. https://t.co/szV1XQDXii

“The revelation that police continued to roll out a [facial recognition] system they knew was biased against women, young people, and people from racially marginalised groups is deeply troubling." https://t.co/oJqh00Wr3V

Face masks to be worn in hospitals due to flu rise

Keats's haunting epitaph, I learned today, came from his repeatedly recalling a line from a Stuart comedy while listening, sick and dying, to the nearby fountain in Rome:

He isn't falling in the same place relative to the ground; only relative to the vehicle. You might as well ask why someone standing on the equator isn't thrown off the earth given they're travelling at >1000 mph relative to, say, the sun.

It’s party season! The new Private Eye is out now.

Disgusting.

Rutte-led flattery of “daddy” produced just disdain and a conviction by Trump that Europe is weak and can be bullied. As shown by the showdown with China, Trump only respects strength. The only way Europe can show strength is by getting its act together quickly to seize Russian

I've enhanced for you this wonderful portrait of a young lady adorned as Circe - an enchantress from ancient Greek mythology who appears in Homer’s Odyssey. It may seem quite immediate, but it was actually taken exactly 160 years ago - the year slavery was abolished in the US and

It was possible for Europe to assuage American demands when they were around defence spending & burden sharing. It is not possible to assuage them when those demands are based on false premises of European authoritarianism & the belief that only far-right parties have legitimacy.

And not a single reporter stands up to this bullying piece of shit. A media on bended knee to their pathetic Grifter in Chief

Light reflected from satellites pollutes the images taken by telescopes orbiting Earth, as well as those on the ground. Without mitigations, this will only get worse https://t.co/s46kr6BcUP

Donald Trump is a Kremlin stooge who wants to sell out Ukraine and the rest of Europe to Putin. We can't let that happen. Starmer should seize frozen Russian assets in this country - today - and convince Merz and Macron to do the same.

There is an inevitable risk that once jury trials are suspended for certain crimes, they will never come back. The Government should not drop the high standards of jury trials in the face of a challenge, but instead look at creative measures and reforms to meet it.

Musk wants to break up the EU. Putin wants a weaker EU. China wants to divide the EU. Trump wants a far-right EU. WE want a STRONGER EU. Are you with us? 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
