The proudest moment of my life. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the most inspirational families and lawyers.

The Environment Agency should definitely be worried now. My Daily Mail status has been upgraded from yesterday’s “do-gooder” to today’s “well-meaning”.

There’s a wider pattern emerging in modern criminal justice whereby defence teams are increasingly denied the opportunity to independently examine, test & challenge the reliability of the digital evidence used against them.

EncroChat. Sky ECC. And now this. 👇

[David Lynch @davidlynchlfc]

Tonight summed up why so few Liverpool fans believe Arne Slot can fix this. Yes, this side is short in attack and signings will help, but they won't sort a midfield and defence that have been shambolic all season. So, without a change of head coach, how does it get better?

anyone fancy making any form of programme set in Liverpool that isn't based on drugs or gangs, would be fab. Even better if it has actual scousers in 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🧤🧤🧤🧤🧤🧤

Britain would benefit from a law stating that no one who had ever served as the president of the Oxford or Cambridge Union should be allowed within a 100 meters radius of Downing Street and, ideally, the Houses of Parliament. A ban of PPE graduates would help too.

[Mary Aspinall-Miles @MAMBarLife]

A moment to reflect : No matter how trauma informed or sensitive or restricted or how many special measures are in place, in an adversarial trial process, defence counsel is professionally obligated to ask questions which either test or challenge an account. So how to do it?

[Tony Evans @TonyEvans92a]

More than a decade ago, I explained the importance of Liverpool’s fan culture to John W Henry and suggested, using language he’d understand, that supporters were a brand in themselves. A year on from the title party, FSG have picked a fight with the Kop https://t.co/OoKB7xyDlh

The chant: ‘You greedy bastards, enough is enough,’ goes around Anfield as tens of thousands of supporters hold up yellow cards in protest at ticket price increases.

“Some fans” is it yeah.

The last line of this. For the love of god. Will any of these bodies ever realise that either justice is handed out even-handedly - or it might as well not be handed out at all.

[Lucy Easthope @LucyGoBag]

One lesson my work has taught me is to live in the gaps. Don’t wait for crises to calm and world leaders to get out of your way so you can do things that bring you joy or help you achieve a dream. Or tell someone you love them ❤️ life is a rollercoaster not a shuttle launch 🚀

[Tom Evans @TomEvans80]

So the really huge issue to emerge Field is that the CoA appears to have changed the law on how it handles references from the CCRC, undoubtedly in response to criticism in Hayes and other recent reporting. It should no longer rely on reasons in its previous refusal.

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

Since the Premier League commenced in 1992/93 Liverpool's matchday income has increased by 869%, the Consumer Price Index is up by 131%.

Appreciate that attendances have increased too, but by nowhere near the growth in ticket prices.

My statement with France, Germany and Italy on our united opposition to Israel’s death penalty law.

The death penalty is wrong and we oppose it around the world.

At a time when so many supporters are struggling to heat their homes, put food on the table and keep up with the rent, the club I love has made a shameful decision to hike ticket prices over the next three years.

It’s staggering. It’s tone deaf from the billionaires who run our club in Boston.

The very people who play a huge part of making this club what it is, the famous 12th man, the beating heart of Liverpool are being priced out and pushed aside, all while their loyalty is used to sell ‘Brand Liverpool’ across the world.

LIverpool Football Club stripped of its working class support base is where this ends.

This greed from football clubs poses an existential threat to the game and the community that made the club what it is today.
