This ruling shows that proscribing Palestine Action was a grave misuse of terrorism laws. Labour must accept its mistake, drop its appeal and stop wasting taxpayers' money suppressing civil liberties. Degrading counter-terror powers is a genuine threat to national security.

Very much so Ed. A more mature Home Secretary would have at least said she would study the ruling and reflect on it first.

#LibDem momentum growing across #Birmingham, with Liberal Democrats being the change and a brighter future our City needs🔶 Today’s canvassing with #Bordesley & #Highgate candidate Waleed Obad and MP Manuela Perteghella confirmed our City is ready for a change #LibDems offer 🔶 All rubbish REPORTED ☑️

GB News broadcasted a package last week on analysis of people with "foreign sounding" names. Peddling unverified and racist statistics on national TV is dangerous and we must call it out. The Liberal Democrats are calling on Ofcom to investigate and take swift action. Anna Sabine MP

Funny they don't seem so bothered by Jenrick's three homes (including a grade 1 listed manor) plus his forth home in his constituency rented at taxpayer expense. Wonder why.

@mattpinsent.bsky.social congratulations to Eve on selection for the JW8+ #WRU19Trakai

To quote an old line, the average IQ of both parties has gone up.

Nine years ago the godfather of Brexit, Lord Daniel Hannan, predicted life in Brexit Britain in June 2025. Roll the tape… (VO by @gavinesler.bsky.social. Part 2 below👇)

Is it any wonder the royals do not speak to the Royal Whinge when they know anything they say will be bleated or to all and sundry via their client journalists.

I shouldn't want to worry anyone but there were papal conclaves in both 1914 and 1939!

Pro-life until birth...The Hypocrisy!🤔

An interesting illustration for this article 👇

London Rowing Club have had this truck stolen overnight. White Ford Transit, double cab, dropside, with LRC flag on doors and bonnet. LD66 OTM but it may be on false plates. It may still be in the Putney area for a few days. @mattpinsent.bsky.social @almurray.bsky.social can you RT?

Entries are open for British Rowing's #BRMC25 over 40 already.

Resolution not very good but is it @mattpinsent.bsky.social at Congress with Mark and Louise?

With the regatta invitations rolling in I'm looking forward to umpiring at three courses new to me this year: EUROW regatta in Linz (AUT), Sarnen regatta on the Sarnersee (SUI) and HIRBS in Loughros, County Donegal (IRL).

Best of luck to the WestMids RRC awards winners for the overall winners at today's British Rowing award lunch: Birmingham RC and UoB's Helen Gilbody and Ross's Sally Pettipher.

Unless you follow the minutiae of the British Rowing website, you might have missed yesterday's announcement which will almost certainly put £1 per seat on entry fees this summer. This was done without any consultation with the clubs or regions at all.

RD Burnell who would never have struck me as a radical came to the conclusion in 1956 that HRR was on the wrong date. He was entirely correct. He suggested the best date would be late July or early August, which would be impractical but a date similar to that of the Brit Champs could be managed.

You *cant* reduce net immigration to the tens of thousands without triggering some combination of an nhs recruitment crisis, a further intensification of the social crisis or tipping universities into bankruptcy. Which ones would you prefer, backbench Yoda?

@etwritehome.bsky.social you're no doubt aware of this site 👇

And one to please @fatsculler.bsky.social it's proposed to correct what seems to have been an oversight last time to ensure that you have to beat someone in a World Cup in order to get a medal #rowing

No more repecharges or minor semis or quarter-finals if this proposal goes through #rowing #congress

Goodbye 4+ 😢 #rowing #congress

Interesting British Rowing, among others, proposing doing away with men's events at international level. WR proposing just a tweak of the current rule on gender eligibility #rowing

"The greatest country on earth" would not have the problems with violent crime, infant mortality, opioids, infrastructure and homelessness the US does. It also wouldn't have just chosen Donald Trump to be its President.

It's tricky to calibrate responses to public figures on a radicalisation journey. Because while they're still in earlier stages more reasonable voices on their side won't accept criticism of them but by the time they've gone full fascist it's too late to pull them back.

The point has been reached where it is no longer morally acceptable to post on Twitter. It has been so overwhelmed, from the top down, by disinformation that participation is collusion in that.

There are more than 10m children in school in the UK…but, per Times, 3,000 might move to state sector because of VAT rise…so Whitehall is “braced” 😲😲😲 Says a lot about UK media bubble, the way this story is reported. You pay VAT on luxuries. Private schooling is that.

If it weren't for the French, Americans would be speaking English right now.

Want to increase business confidence? Stop ruling stuff out with regards to an EU reset, start talking up the opportunities that a serious rapprochement presents.

Earlier this week, Kemi Badenoch said she really liked what Elon Musk had done with Twitter.

#WRMR have been allocated: 2026 Bled 13th-17th Sep 2027 Varese 9th-13th Sep 2028 Villach 21st-27th Sep The first two are incredibly scenic, never been to Villach.

Did Lord Camoys row at Manchester University? If so, the first MUBC alumnus to be a Steward?

Very glad to see a new women's intermediate event and increased entry limits for other women's events at next year's HRR

MPs have BACKED Sarah Olney's Lib Dem bill on electoral reform. This is a historic day for fair votes. Today, as we have done for a century, Liberal Democrats are leading the fight for fair votes and making sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy.

Been clearing out after the move to the new hospital and came across a copy of a 1996 #formulary. This is the entirety of the chapter 3 formulary! Simpler times.

It's proposed to have fewer events on the World Championship programmes to promote shorter championships, more doubling up opportunities and sustainability, mixed events and anticipating LA28 programme #rowing youtube.com/live/gtcOgVrMk… (from 3:11:31 onwards)

Thanks to @lyndseychp.bsky.social for my advent calendar, I'm delighted that this year, for once, it seems to have exactly the right number of doors.

Interestingly in both the Varese and Lucerne bids for the World Rowing 2027 Championships it's proposed to have the victory ceremonies separated from the finals and the venue. Not sure I like this idea. d2cx26qpfwuhvu.cloudfront.net/worldrowing/wp…

Just checking in as I've not been here in a while.
