@tiff_tv@F1@tiff_tv as a lifelong fan too it’s really sad to see what F1 has become. The years of the fastest car & driver feel a long way away with current rules. We race because it’s thrilling dosed with a healthy jeopardy and we race as fast as we can whatever series from F1 to historics
Yesterday was a very special day. I got to share the wonderful @SnettertonMSV circuit with my son. One of a few father son pairings at the pre-season test it was thrilling to chase each other and see him progress setting a very competitive time by the end!!
@sharrond62 Well done to you and all the women and men who fought for fairness. It means the world to my daughter and all the young girls who aspire to be the best they can.
I’ve written to every Member of Parliament today.
Proposals before Parliament would remove jury trials from offences carrying up to three years in prison.
Freedoms rarely vanish overnight. They are chipped away in the name of efficiency.
Juries did not cause the crisis in our courts. Removing them will not fix it.
When the state seeks to take someone’s liberty for serious offences, the judgment of ordinary citizens should never be optional.
This is close to becoming law.
Please read the letter. Contact your MP now.

Juries have been the last line of defence against the authoritarian cancel mob.
When our members have found themselves charged with criminal offences for speaking out, juries have reliably said no dice to overzealous prosecutors. This has infuriated the CPS and the activists who make malicious complaints.
One was Jamie Michael, a decorated Royal Marines veteran, who was charged with inciting racial hatred after a Labour staffer reported him to the police for a video he posted on Facebook. Jamie spent 20 days in prison on remand. A jury took just 17 minutes to clear him. The local Labour Party were said to be furious.
Now David Lammy wants to scrap juries and give judges — who are required to follow DEI policies — the sole power to convict and jail Brits for up to 5 years for online posts.
This move is about power, not saving costs. Nothing in our present national situation warrants abandoning an 800-year-old right: that in a court of law, your peers decide if you're guilty, not the state.
We will fight any such proposal with everything we’ve got.

@maidstonebc@SGNgas The impact of drivers ignoring all diversions and warnings of unsuitable routes is making residents life misery. We are unable to get on with our day! It is totally unacceptable. These pictures are five days apart and show the chaos you have caused
@maidstonebc@SGNgas you need to rethink your traffic management on the Loose Road. You have to enable at least one way traffic so that the tiny side roads are not blocked! Allowing traffic up (Southbound) the Loose Road and down (Northbound) the Sutton Road. 1/2
