If precedent for slavery #Reparations were needed then see the compensation for LGBTQ military veterans.
Past (lawful) behaviours being recognised as a wrong and being put right with substantial compensation.

[Timothy Waitt @HomeSolicitor]

New experience for me tonight…I’ll be closing down a polling station!

Nothing too exciting- I’m simply on lock up duty after polling is finished!

This! Net migration may have increased but when it comes to construction, we’ve actually lost lots of workers since the GFC and then again post Brexit. This is the problem with using data and stats that are not nuanced to make broad points. Two things can be, and often are, true!

The Leader, Deputy Leader and 4 other Cabinet Members of Hastings Borough Council have resigned from the Labour Party - one of the reasons given is that the national Labour party denied them the right to choose their own Parliamentary candidate - eek

As a sailor on the Tidal Thames the bale of straw is a pretty effective marker. It is very difficult to judge height from River level….

[Carob Mill @carobmill]

Workers on the Millennium Bridge, by reducing the headroom of the bridge while they work, have triggered an ancient by-law of London requiring that a bale of straw be hung underneath to warn river traffic:

Are @tfl going to just stand aside for the next 18 months and allow the horrendous impact from Lambeth’s ill-conceived LTN on our bus services? @Mark_J_Harper @CarolinePidgeon @KeithPrinceAM @JohnJohnStewart @clairekholland @BayoDosunmu @JulianHeather1

[Anthony Fairclough 🔶 @AJ_Fairclough]

Labour Council bosses have made it clear that their current tactic is to to vote down anything we propose (even if - & especially when - they go on to do it). It's partisan & hugely cynical.

A call for 'cross-party support' from Labour's deputy leader seems equally as cynical.
