Root and branch reform?

For years, @KemiBadenoch and her colleagues enthusiastically defunded criminal justice to the point where it now takes five years even to get an allegation of child sexual abuse to *trial*.

Perhaps start with an apology for that.

[Mark McVitie @MarkMcvitie]

Great piece in today's @theipaper from @chriscurtis94 calling on his colleagues to support the housing this country desperately needs. Keep your eye on this man.

h/t @eleanormia with the story on the parli launch of @yimbylabour

@Smokinggnu_79 @BellaWallerstei @Chaletmaridadi Perhaps you could draft a rebuttal paper, with citations, and share it please. Otherwise you're just a guy on the internet saying a widely respected think tank doesn't know what it's talking about 👍

@BellaWallerstei @Chaletmaridadi VAT on private school fees will help correct the swingeing cuts visited upon UK state school funding since 2010. Enlightening read below 👇👍

What an incredibly uplifting story.

19 young Afghan women have just arrived in Edinburgh to complete their medical degrees.

They'd lived in fear for their lives ever since the Taliban took power.

All credit to the @LindaFoundation 👏👏👏🩺

Great British Energy will lower bills and create the next generation of skilled jobs in every part of the UK.

We are under no illusion as to the scale of the challenge we have inherited from the Conservatives after more than a decade of low growth and a £22 billion black hole in the public finances.

That’s why we are taking the tough decisions now to fix the foundations of our economy.

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

Pick up the brick, pick up the sentence.

This man was sentenced to over two years in prison for committing violent disorder after throwing projectiles at @MerseyPolice officers in Southport.

[Institute for Fiscal Studies @TheIFS]

NEW: Cheaper grocery products rose in price much faster than expensive products between 2021 and 2023.

This ‘cheapflation’ meant poorer households were hit much harder by inflation than official figures show.

There's no place in society for armchair thugs.

This man was sentenced to 20 months in prison after posting online calling for violent mobs to attack a hotel housing asylum seekers.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

I remain in close contact with the Met about the appalling attack in central London today. A man has been arrested & is in custody. On behalf of Londoners I’d like to pay tribute to Abdullah, who heroically risked his own safety to come to the aid of the victims.

[Full Fact @FullFact]

A video being shared with claims it shows ‘an African immigrant’ who stabbed a British police officer is false. Greater Manchester Police confirmed there was no such stabbing. https://t.co/jE1iVVzvRd

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

Police officers show great bravery keeping us safe - it’s a disgrace they were subjected to violent attacks.

Time to restore respect for the police, for law & order and for each other.

[Jonathan Reynolds @jreynoldsMP]

This government is determined to support businesses damaged by violent disorder to get back on their feet

I have written to the insurers urging them to swiftly get payments out so that actions of mindless thugs won’t see local businesses having to close

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

65 medals for @TeamGB.

Congratulations to all our athletes and support staff, you should be immensely proud of everything you have achieved #Paris2024.

[Rob Middleton @RobMiddleton11]

@paulg This is a bad take I'm afraid. It's legally incorrect, we subscribe to the ECHR.

And, morally, the UK person at issue tweeted (allegedly) knowingly false information about a nationally significant criminal event with the goal of inciting racially motivated riots.

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

Those participating in violent disorder don’t represent Britain – they will face the consequences of their acts.

[Patrick Hurley @patrick_hurley]

Apropos the discourse, Mill’s On Liberty is one of my favourite books, and this is one of my favourite sections.

[BURKOV @burkov]

This is what AI is for. Just this use case alone is worth every dollar invested in it.

[Rob Middleton @RobMiddleton11]

@Noahpinion Hmmm, I like your writings, but this is a bad take I'm afraid. The person in Britain (allegedly) tweeted knowingly false information about a nationally significant criminal event with the goal of inciting racially motivated riots.
