Welcome to the UK where thousands of people who are already dying, and want to die a bit quicker, are not allowed to. And thousands of people who don’t want to die end up dying because they can’t get access to the right care quickly.
Overturning Lucy Letby's convictions would raise huge questions about every part of state from NHS, policing, to CPS and the adversarial system itself. Is that too much for the Court of Appeal to stomach? Steve Phelps on Lucy Letby's 'appalling vista' https://t.co/ays1BlDxAM
The medical journalist Dr Phil Hammond writes about poor Dr Deakin: ‘If all NHS staff were sacked for sharing information about patients they cared for in confidence, there wouldn’t be many still working.’ https://t.co/CrBuTX22KQ via @DailyMail`,
@andyburnham@_CallumAnderson It’s meant to be for zombie apocalypse, not this sort of thing. Normalise it for this and it won’t work when you really need it. Local authority lanyard class idiocy
How the fuck is that a #SevereAlert
The point of the system was for terrorism or actual threats to life.
Not to act as a way to just get an advisory out.
It's actually dangerous to misuse the system in this way, people will ignore it in an emergency if used in this way
Jeez made me jump at home. Hopefully no rtc’s caused by it for those in transit . Expect it was a good reason to test and analyse the outcome of an unexpected alert on the nation, including on roads and up ladders. Did it really need to be that loud… even silent alerts would get seen.
The next war won't be won by armies, navies or air forces alone.
It'll be won by the country whose 19 year olds can code, whose factories can build drones in weeks not years, and whose grid stays on when someone tries to switch it off.
Industry. Society. Economy. That's the fight now.
We're not ready. And we're not being honest about what getting ready will cost.
I recall in May 2025 Thirlwall advised they would be sending out "Warning Letters" with a link to what that involved : "In accordance with Rules 13 to 15 of the Inquiry Rules 2006, the Chair must send a letter to anyone who may be subject to significant or explicit criticism in an Inquiry report. This must be done in advance of the Inquiry's report being published and allow a reasonable opportunity to respond. These letters are known as 'warning letters'. Each letter must detail the proposed significant or explicit criticisms, the facts and evidence said to support them."
The final official episode of DOUBT: The Case of Lucy Letby is out now. It's a look at why it's so difficult to overturn a potential wrongful conviction, no matter the evidence.
If you haven't listened to this series yet, please BINGE IT NOW! I'm very proud of it.
Do you know who else is entitled to fast and fair justice? The accused. And the innocent.
I know that doesn’t wash well in a PR meeting or in a social media graphic - but it’s true.
There can be more than one victim in a courtroom.
And sometimes they are in the dock.
@PeteBritish@LozBucks After Tim & Rene, it was I, then Simon Crawshaw then Nic Mash (hence the name change). The Crown had a few changes, before closing for a while, but as of this year it’s now re-opened under the management of Barry & Bridget’s son, John.
The Prime Minister's former mentor has described the Government's plans to cut jury trials as "a cure worse than the disease".
If Starmer won't listen to his backbenchers, he should at least listen to the man who helped train him.

The Overturn makes you lose faith in the justice system.
This new series examining shocking miscarriages of justice in UK law is gripping – and depressing, writes Miranda Sawyer.
