A really interesting and valuable contribution to the NZ debate on residential home protests that we will inevitably have in the UK as latest amendments go through HL on Monday FWIW, I agree though I realise tricky ..that private dwellings of politicians should generally remain out of bounds

@dinahrose.bsky.social I thought the same…. bsky.app/profile/seet...

Never trust the short hand summary...despite what these amendments are called, the new offence will be committed by far more than making representations...the offence is committed by being in place X with a persuasive purpose Nothing need (yet) have been said

Exactly two years’ worth and if you delve into stats, today’s three-goer takes my average to a fraction under 4 for the period

Oh dear, I’m really seeing the US skew of my feed in here Not sure why - I don’t really follow many Americans, not US political commentators certainly

And what a shame they remain embedded on Twitter but have no official presence here Symptomatic perhaps of the party’s Janus-headed approach to its old skool voter base

Badenoch really needs to be grilled on whether the Conservatives political moral position is that Govt ministers are responsible for and thus should resign for breaking any law no matter when passed nor by whom or what institution?

As this is The Guardian, assume they mean ‘depraved’ which would be a much funner thing to know about your town

I do think Andrew v Rex citing breach of Article 6 would be constitutional case of the millennium

This is madness The difference is so palpable It was said of Johnson who was PM at at time when laws his Govt passed, he himself broke Not council planning bye-laws passed by a third party But hey, water off a ducks back when the Tory press go a-hunting

The book was awful…Herron is an awful, ponderous writer who crafts wonderful yarns with the best set of characters thrown together…but as a writer evoking an atmosphere or simply taking story on a few pages, like a woeful sixth former or someone who managed part of a writing course in their 50s

And if you also have a research interest in protest-y stuff, fill your boots as we’re looking to secure and expand that side of our School’s research Between us, @crwerren.bsky.social have heaps of legal and socio legal and hands on, getting dirty experience and knowledge

I used to live 400 yards from the disused Crowborough barracks in the mid/late 70s, at the southern end of the town off the Uckfield Road We used to play over the woods at its edge Interesting to see how this pans out Still drive past it en route to my dad’s

I am very much looking forward to getting my hands on this and delving into it Katrina is a wonderful historian of protest and place

The pupils most likely to be labelled disruptive and punished - ('internally excluded') are the usual suspects here. They include already disadvantaged kids who need more support, not less.

I only listen to R4 from about halfway, 7:30 but so far as I can tell this disgusting Bill has had no mention let along discussion or dissection* It is, one assumes, official Tory Party policy now * perhaps instead of a three-minute piece on Ringo Starr’s drumming capabilities?

I’d started supporting them only a few months before - about the time they won the title, just before my 8th birthday Oh how I thought the future would all be footballing sunlit uplands! How I was wrong within three years

An excellent contribution as per from Richard, dissecting the Govt’s proposals to empower restrictions against cumulatively disruptive #protests, using three well worked practical examples I always forget and struggle to find Richard on here
