Bad enough this is a criminal offence but what really gets me is the absurdly disproportionate nature of the sentence. Shocking this is going on in the UK in 2023 https://t.co/ifet3Uqsem

Inexcusable that not a single pundit (and there are many) on tonight’s champions league final is a woman. Come on @btsport you can do better than that

Give me strength - Social care reform funding halved for England, government confirms https://t.co/7WocDtWc2r

Approach to school inspections raises really important questions. I can see the value of a more holistic report but dubious about adjusting standards to reflect Covid/funding issues/background of pupils - surely there has to be a single objective standard https://t.co/DgjpYdZNJk

I cannot tell you the lengths I will go to for the lovely solicitors who reliably provide a properly indexed and paginated bundle with instructions… I feel palpable pangs of appreciation whenever I get one

@TorButlerCole Thanks!

Have spent all day writing an advice on the correct interpretation of Regulation X(x)(c)(ii)…and each time I type it having to correct Microsoft word’s amendment of (c) to the copyright symbol. Argh! Who can want to type the copyright sign that often?!
