On such days the immortal words in 2002 of former Whitehall permanent secretary Sir Richard Mottram re-echo down the ages: “We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. We're all completely fucked.”

Free legal advice:

You don’t have to attend a riot to be prosecuted for conspiracy to riot. You don’t have to be present at a terrorist incident to be guilty of encouraging it.

A lot of Twitter warriors will be getting some unpleasant knocks on the door over the coming weeks.

@StanCollymore Great day. And also Brockwell Park

[SFitzsimons @shfitz]

@janetoflaherty Wasn’t it!

[alan rusbridger @arusbridger]

A data analysis of social media by @marcowenjones shows an apparently coordinated pattern of reframing "far-right violence" as "Labour failure", citing a non-existent Starmer attack on 'White British' values.
