I believe.

A reminder that Wes Streeting and the Labour government have deliberately chosen two of the worst possible experts to lead the review into overdiagnosis by the way. People already entrenched in that belief who will absolutely manipulate findings to suit their ideological crusade.

Could be fun this...Benito has got months of shithousing to catch up on.

It's been obvious from the start that the Assisted Suicide Bill is a covert Government Bill. Government lawyers redrafted it, Government whips got backbenchers to vote it through, and Government has allocated Parliamentary time. This leak confirms it 👇

Someone our support group helps uses an asthma inhaler but arthritis in his hands is making it hard for him to use it. Is anyone aware of any gizmos that may help him?

While obviously Lammy's proposal of scrapping many jury trials is getting the headlines, it seems odd how little attention his proposal to scrap the automatic right to appeal is getting. That seems like quite a big thing to be honest, especially for poorer and more marginalised defendants. #r4today

"We would have punished these guys if it hadn't taken us 4 decades to get round to it" is just a fantastic summary of police accountability in Britain

Remember: Juries are important not so much for the powers they have, but for the powers they prevent others from having.

Today the news will be about the government's proposals for juries. Please read this thread so as to be informed about the actual practical problems in the criminal justice system - problems which will not be solved by this misconceived and illiberal tinkering.

The way these people kept their secret so completely is amazing. 20ish years ago a friend visited Bletchley Park and bought a calendar for his father-in-law. When opened the f-i-l asked 'How did you know?'. Turned out he had worked there and never mentioned it. 1/2 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is Trevor Fisher, speaking to @channel4news.bsky.social from Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridgeshire this week. As a palliative care specialist, Trevor’s interview has devastated me. His hospice has just been told Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is withdrawing £800k of funding. 🧵

Ha ha ha Hee hee hee Lilywhite club have dropped another three.

Every single person who insists the value of their property has to increase (“it’s my pension!”, “I invested in that!”) is the direct enemy of every voter/govt/plan to make housing affordable for most people It’s that straightforward Especially if they insists on profit but not fair taxation

The Labour Government refused a 1% asset tax on the super rich, yet raised taxes on people already struggling. All whilst their "black hole" turned out to be utter nonsense. Active choices to refuse to fund our communities which they desperately need. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

This is an extremely interesting article about the collapse of early farming societies across Europe around ~5000 BC. We like to think of prehistoric times as being largely peaceful, but it seems early civilisations weren't immune to ritualistic violence & cultural collapse.

Interesting to see the reporting around the man who drove into a parade of Liverpool FC fans. According to one paper, he followed far right individuals on Twitter. Why isn’t he on a terrorist charge? Do White ppl [excluding Queer ones] get White-washed in the English courts?

How are all those Labour politicians cheering for it? They were literally whipped to vote for it and then the Prime Minister suspended those who didn't. They really are totally devoid of any moral principle. They respond to one thing - and that's political pressure.

Rachel Reeves, whose budget was almost entirely and deliberately briefed in advance of her statement, says it is "deeply disappointing" that the OBR has accidentally done the same

The millionaire lobbyists, celebrities and death cultists have had their turn, and their Bill has been comprehensively rejected by disabled people, professionals and Parliamentarians. It's time for the intelligent people to take their time to get this difficult issue right. (3/3)

Disabled people have always said that any assisted dying Bill should *follow* a detailed, impartial and evidence-led examination of the issues, fully involving disabled people. This nasty lobbyist-led euthanasia Bill was always the wrong way to make such a momentous change. (2/3)

The backers of the Assisted Suicide Bill are now proposing to ram it through Parliament, bypassing normal procedure, because too many Parliamentarians have concerns. It's time to bring this whole shabby fiasco to an end. (1/3)

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history." BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2036...

Or: they want to make it appeal proof. You can never read a tribunal.

The judge due to rule on the proscription of Palestine Action is swapped last minute for a panel that includes a judge with a history of working for the government and another who ruled in favour UK selling jets to Israel. Accusations of a “stitch-up”. novaramedia.com/2025/11/25/a...

Removal of judge in Palestine Action ban legal challenge ‘deeply concerning’... so it looks like the classic British establishment stitch-up is underway. "This raises serious questions around the lack of impartiality and transparency in our judicial system" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
