**Breaking news** We did it!! Action from the Government to simplify access to Child Trust Fund savings. This is fantastic news for thousands of disabled young people and their families. It means £Ms of savings released across the UK for the benefit of these young people. Huge thanks to @LucyRigby @JakeBenRichards @sarahsackman. Plus to @andyburnham for empowering his team to take bold decisions. An end to a 6 year injustice. A landmark moment. A victory for common sense. Wow!

UK police arrested protesters outside the Supreme Court where Palestine Action appealed the government's decision to ban the campaign group as a terrorist organization https://t.co/JQ9uKji2wb

[alex thomson @alextomo]

Yet more arrests of people peacefully stating their opinion outside the Supreme Court as it considered the legality of the ban on Palestine Action .

The great Paul Whitehouse is 68 years old today, which means I am obliged to post this (again!) - arguably the most majestically random but brilliant comedy sketch committed to celluloid for at least the last, what, forty, forty five years?

Yes, forty, forty five years.

Happy birthday Paul 🤘

Very unusual flight trajectory today leaving Edinburgh for Rome. After take-off the pilot flew west, allowing the best view of Glasgow and the Firth of Clyde I’ve ever seen.

I cannot help but be reminded of reporting from Red Square, filming people being arrested for peacefully holding placards, to illustrate Russia’s police state. I would look rather foolish trying that now.

[alex thomson @alextomo]

Met Police arrested more than 350 people in London for yesterday for peacefully holding placards in a street. More than 4000 have been similarly arrested across the UK…

[alex thomson @alextomo]

Most were arrested for holding placards saying “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action.” On Wed Supreme Court begins hearing a challenge to the ban on PA under Terrorism Act which came into force in July last year…
