Oh dearie me. Former SoS for the environment Steve Reed spent his time gaslighting the public about clamping down on water companies, it was of course all nonsense. Now offering up exactly the same kind of bullshit but this time with planning which he is now in charge of... Ho
No this is not a win. Policy without statuary weight sounds good but enforcement is key. This action is weak yet the govt has created swift brick visuals implying it’s a win. A cheer went up in the Commons but the swifts need law not meaningless policy. #Greenwashing #Bullshit

Superb thread on the idiocies of what pass for the Lammy plans on jury abolition.
A few days ago, David Lammy wrote a letter to the Justice Committee answering some questions about his proposals to restrict jury trial. This is a welcome step. It’s a telling letter. But not for the reasons you might think. 🪡 🧵

This might be - and I am not being hyperbolic - one of the greatest threads ever written by a lawyer on this hellsite. If you have even a scintilla of interest in justice, liberty or government ministers having the faintest understanding of their job, you need this thread. 🧵

They tried to erase him. Instead, he became a warning the world could not ignore. Gert Schramm was a child when the Nazis decided his existence was a crime. Born in Germany to a Black father and a German mother, Gert grew up in a country that slowly turned against him. As Nazi

I’d be surprised if the Greeks didn’t have a word for this kind of entomological predetermination too.

A reminder that after invading and occupying 20% of Georgia in 2008, Russia could no longer advance militarily. So, they began simply moving the fences at night, for YEARS, slowly taking more territory. Residents of Georgian towns often woke up in Russia, where they remain

The @CommonsEFRA committee doing more than govt and both regulators to hold water companies to account and keep them in line. 👏👏👏

This is plain disturbing. Judge Alexander Kemp, who presided over the Sandie Peggie tribunal, 'has been urged... to withdraw his findings and consider his position after it emerged that his ruling was “riddled” with errors and inaccuracies.' 1/4 https://t.co/LSCVukvspb

Could someone please show @POTUS Article 157 of the Ukrainian constitution? “The Constitution of Ukraine may not be amended if the amendments provide for the abolition or restriction of human and civil rights and freedoms, or if they are aimed at eliminating independence or
В Конституцию Украины вшита статья 157, которая прямо запрещает манипуляции с территориями, даже если будут любые решения ВР, референдумы, указы президента и договоры с барыгами из США. Все решения на эту тему заведомо ничтожны, о чем украинцы и пытаются достучаться до всего мира

Imagine a scenario in which large numbers of white people start saying that they “feel black,” and that because of this feeling, and their enjoyment of stereotypically “black behavior,” they are now not just black themselves, but the most marginalized and vulnerable type of black

"Sewage in rivers is a real problem. But it's not even the biggest source of pollution." And there's another political issue govt is desperately trying to turn a blind eye to. What's the largest source of river pollution in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland? Yep,

"Warning as lead and arsenic wash up on beach." Remember those plastic beads now washing up along a 70 mile stretch of the English coast, the ones belonging to Southern Water that they told you were inert and totally harmless? Turns out they're contaminated with lead, arsenic

Putin was sitting in his office when his telephone rang. "Hallo, Mr. Putin!" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Clare, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on ya!" Well, Paddy," Putin replied, "This

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker, published 70 years ago in April 1955, features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist & rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea! 😆

This case isn’t “troubling.” It’s a screaming indictment of an administration that’s decided due process is optional and human beings are collateral. A Ukrainian war refugee who entered legally, kept continuous lawful status, married a U.S. citizen, filed every form on time,
