None of this is true.

It was tried by the last government, failed on every metric and was swiftly abandoned.

There is a devastating absence of ideas on how to solve the crisis in criminal justice.

It’s going to take more than microwaving the failed policies of Dominic Raab.

Why did Huw Edwards avoid prison?

Is this evidence of “two-tier justice”?

Let’s take a quick look. 🧵

TLDR: This is an entirely expected sentence for offences of this type.

[John Hyde @JohnHyde1982]

Offenders who commit the same crimes as Huw Edwards are given suspended sentences every day in magistrates courts.

Perhaps if local media went back to covering mags courts properly then more people might have known that.

“No surprise” that the Rwanda scheme was found to be unlawful, yet Ms Braverman was happy to spend £140m of taxpayers’ money on it.

If there’s a need for an urgent new law, it should be aimed at recouping costs from politicians whose vanity and incompetence squander public funds

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

So David Cameron is to sit in the House of Lords ("taking back control from unelected officials anyone?") in order to be Foreign Secretary - which means he won't be able to be questioned by MPs in the chamber over foreign policy. Doesn't seem very 21st century.

0.10% of the population (census 2021) define as a Trans woman, and this is the governments priority. Not the huge NHS wait times, or the poor working conditions for all NHS staff. Their priority is bigotry.

Lee Anderson looked at the recent scandal and decided that if there is one thing that GB News is lacking, it’s misogyny

Justice Select Committee Chair and former barrister Sir Bob Neill says there's been 'underinvestment in the criminal justice system for decades’:

‘I’ve been to courts where the same maintenance problems are there as when I was in practice in 2008’

Hugh Grant and Ashley Graham's red carpet exchange about "Vanity Fair " (he was talking about the 1848 novel about shallow society, she thought he was referring to the 2023 magazine after party) is my favourite #Oscars moment of all time.
