After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS
'Why on earth was this woman given an honour?
Private Eye Editor, Ian Hislop, criticises the 'permanently ludicrous' UK honours system, telling @AndrewMarr9 the decision to give Paula Vennells a CBE was 'ignorant and stupid.'
As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.
State crimes can NOT be pardoned by the president.
Georgia Governor has no pardon power.
RICO conviction carries a mandatory minimum of 5 years in prison.
Donald Trump is heading to prison.
Good night America. 🇺🇸
Watching Europe burn while Britain debates Nigel Farage's bank account is a truly dispiriting experience. It's so parochial and childlike, like someone having a daydream during a car crash.
I’m sorry but any news bulletin which leads with the words “Philip Schofield,” given all else that is happening in the country and the world, gets turned off.
Starmer worries me as he stands so staunchly against common sense, as Labour usually do. The tide has turned and Brexit is recognised as a disaster. The Single Market and the EU are the only real opportunity for the nation to return to success. Voters are not going to stand for another Labour prevarication. The alternative another Conservative Term? The EU will only positively accept us if they see a sound majority supporting a return to membership. A General Election is only a year away and if it isn't clear what we want to do we face at least another 5 years of downward spiral for the nation. Unfortunately, either Conservative or Labour will have the same effect unless there is a visible strong voice supporting a return to the EU.
I believe any Prime Minister, Minister, MP or paid political servant of our nation who refuses to legally share their communications should be immediately suspended until they do. The law allows that if they do not they should be heavily fined and/or imprisoned. I hope Lady Hallett will act accordingly and we see this feral group of Conservative ministers finally being held accountable, both legally and morally.

US Embassy staff discussing Brexit. They know Brexit is a disaster and that the British Govt are not telling the public that 52% voted for something that's likely to be "very very bad".

@HobbitsWife @BethRigby@Keir_Starmer None of the major political parties are brave and bold enough to admit the massive mistake that was brexit. As soon as one does they will have a groundswell of support.
