As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency.

The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries.

Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

Heseltine repeatedly kicking Rees-Mogg in the balls is a thing of beauty and fully worth the 6 minutes 🔥🔥🔥

If a man rapes a woman in England and she becomes pregnant, not only can he apply for contact or custody of the child born from that rape, but he can also apply for a contact order to have access to that child’s child, as he would be the biological grandfather.

I’m fighting not only to protect our children but also our grandchildren.

Rapists must be stripped of parental responsibility to children born from rape.

Join my fight and contact your MPs, many MPs have so far supported.

Just now -- acclaimed British surgeon testifies to #UK Parliament, detailing how #IDF "quadcopters" would arrive at the scene of airstrikes in #Gaza & "pick-off" / "shoot" the injured, including children.

@implausibleblog @EllieChowns Some much sense in this speech.

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Looking back on 14 years of the Tories is like looking back at the traumatising post-vindaloo shit you just did in the toilet.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

Honestly - a few of the replies to this little tribute to engineering excellence exhibit a level of stupidity that suggests to me that it won’t be long before our spacecraft are the only thing that remains of our increasingly dim-witted civilisation. Until recently my guess has been that the answer to the Fermi Paradox might be found in biology - complex biological systems are rare. I’m increasingly of the view that the reason for The Great Silence is that civilisations are inevitably crushed by the weight of nobheads shortly after inventing the internet.

I find that the best way to respond to a GP who is angry and upset about what I have done to the NHS is to laugh at them.

Mel Stride's car crash interview trying to explain why Rishi Sunak didn't attend the full D-Day commemorations

The strangest thing about this is that Stride repeatedly says that Rishi Sunak is a friend, and then he follows that up by saying that he hasn't asked his 'friend' about why he left early

Kudos to Trevor Phillips who called him out on this

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.

The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.

This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .

You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.

Going to have to learn some new tools.

Left: Gary Lineker tells Mehdi Hasan, "What's happening in Gaza is the worse thing I've seen in my lifetime.. The constant images of children losing their lives day in day out" @GaryLineker

"The minute you raise your voice against what Israel are now doing in Gaza, you get accused of being a supporter of Hamas.. There is a lot of heavy lobbying on people to be quiet"

"It's not anti-Semitic to say what Israel is doing in Gaza is wrong.. And I can't see how everybody can't see it that way now" #Eurovision2024 @Eurovision @EBU_HQ

Right: ITV News, "Sangita Myska: Over 100 media personalities sign open letter supporting former LBC journalist"

Myska, whose ratings were going up, was cancelled by LBC after an interview where she questioned Israel's attack on Gaza

LBC has remained silent on the exact reason why she was cancelled. And while over 100 media personalities have signed an open letter in support of her, none of her LBC colleagues have come to her defence, making them complicit in the silencing of a fellow journalist - the sort of silencing of media we criticise when it happens in authoritarian regimes

Anybody else started seeing @Bitdefender issue when trying to build @labview executables.

I need to disable the AV to build and it is seeing my build exe files as threats (Gen:Variant.Fugrafa.313494)

It’s having a big impact as you can imagine.

David Cameroon was passionately condemning Iran for its “reckless” action.

The journalist asked him what Britain would do if someone bombs their consulate.

A beautiful moment of television journalism 🤌🏽
