Looking forward to seeing @maitlis speak at #allaboutwomen at the Sydney Opera House this afternoon: ‘Inside the Epstein Files’ … which happily coincides with my holiday 🇦🇺

Hi @JoshuaRozenberg , worth noting Fleetwood staying open isn’t a real expansion. With Blackpool now closed, local provision has effectively shrunk — it’s a rebalancing at best, not added capacity. @MoJGovUK Describing this as growth feels misleading for the community it serves

@RobertJenrick There are 3 Crown Court rooms in Carlisle (Court’s 1-3); Court 4 is the Designate Family Judge’s court. 67% of 3, is 2.01. There aren’t 2.01 empty court rooms… But your ‘editorial’ is wholly misleading. Your party governed for 14 years, this problem isn’t created by @UKLabour

Some quality journalism from @TheNewsAgents; Their interview of Andrew Norfolk, the journalist who first broke the grooming scandal, is great and well worth a listen to set straight some of the recent chatter.

I wonder what makes you ‘radical’… rather than just ‘a barrister’

Wrong answers only.
