Former sub-postmaster Alan Bates has given his verdict on the compensation offer: 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗲𝗹.

The fight must go on: https://t.co/hH2za5h239

The Grenfell Testimony Week started with Marcio Gomes - whose son Logan was stillborn after the fire - imagining the six years of him growing up: his first smile, his first birthday, his first day at nursery, his first goal for the local football team. He then said this:
An email exchange involving Fujitsu staff ahead of the Lee Castleton trial in 2006. Revealed during the Post Office Inquiry today. Staggering.

"Not only were there perversions of the course of justice, but indeed perjury."
The Post Office might have committed perjury by withholding defence documents from sub-postmasters, former Supreme Court Judge Lord Saville tells @JPonpolitics.
#WhitePrivilege is often dismissed as a radical delusion or used to suggest people’s lives are free of suffering — both are wrong. In today's @FT I talk about why addressing it will help create a more equitable and inclusive society.

My great great aunt Eglantyne was a do-gooder. She was also passionate about human rights. She founded Save the Children and she drafted what became the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, adopted by the UN in 1959. She was once prosecuted for her actions. Be a do-gooder.

We are incredibly concerned that the return of #BenefitSanctions tomorrow will force people to risk their health by looking for jobs - or else be sanctioned and pushed into destitution.
Victim had to face her abuser alone because she had equity in her house, and the rules assume therefore she can pay for a lawyer. A patently unfair and cruel system. #legalaid https://t.co/NaSXApaQ2X

The sharp reduction of people being diagnosed with cancer is terrifying.
Cancer hasn't taken the month off.

We have to be ready for an "avalanche of litigation", which could clog up courts, Lord Neuberger, former Supreme Court president, tells @BBCr4today, suggesting mediation in a note from @BIICL. Can't see note on its website but was piece in yesterday's @FT https://t.co/Qfcy4grYr5
If you’re in an abusive household and need the police but fear being heard, remember the 999 #SilentSolution.
📞 999 and wait for the verbal prompt to press 55 and stay on the line - don't press 55 straight away or hang up. Thanks @policeconduct for sharing.
