By chance I was there as the accused was chased by police, jumping on a train as it left the station and beside him as he was arrested.
A devastating time for the family & a surprising jury verdict ๐๐ป
A beard tax, like the C18th window tax has the benefit that itโs easy to visually monitor.
It is though, easy to avoid, and by taxing the wrong thing (just business rates) drives perverse incentives (like beard removal, blocking up windows and increased online sales!)
Next time I go on holiday I'll definitely donate money to teach local kids to play bagpipes. It's these little gestures that make sure your hosts will remember you for years to come.

If you can, share these images of the beautiful soul stolen from us by the worst of humanity.
Let his face today burn bright.
Barney, I promise you there will be accountability ๐๐
For You. For Grace. For Ian.
Agree with @samfr. I think heโll win in #Makerfield and then use this to win the Labour leadership. Not certain of course: but my most likely outcome
I know everyone is poring over election results, but letโs not forgetโฆ Today is VE Day.
Itโs still living memory and being able to have elections is one of the freedoms fought for.
That freedom was bought by men and women who served our country.
Even now our veterans need defending.
The battles are differentโฆlike stopping brave veterans being dragged through the courts for vexatious claims in their old age.
Conservatives continue to fight. Just yesterday, the Supreme Court reinstated immunities after my Shadow Attorney General, Lord Wolfson stepped in, acted pro bono for veterans, and won.
Weโre the only party doing the work.
On VE Day, we remember their sacrifice.
But remembrance is not enough. We should also honour our veterans by looking after them and defending them in Parliament, in the courts just as they defended us.
โApprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.โ

Absolutely awful. Iโm a footy fan (not Milwall ๐) - & used to be the Cllr responsible for Westminsterโs education team. The current holder should be considering their position right now & taking responsibility for this trash ๐๐ป
Message from @MillwallFC
The club has received a full apology from Westminster Council following their serious misuse of a registered club badge, which was placed on an illustration of a white supremacist hate group member in a children's education booklet distributed in schools, creating a false and damaging image of the club.
The council have confirmed no more copies of the image with the club's logo will be made or distributed by them and all remaining material in their possession will be destroyed.
The club is still considering its legal position on the matter and are unable to comment further.
