If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe. That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US. This is the second verified incident I've heard about. We were here 1st. #ICE

Scrap austerity – tax the super-rich instead Britain can’t rebuild with more cuts – a wealth tax on the richest is the fair alternative to funding public services and growth yorkshirebylines.co.uk/business/eco...

It is time to end the special relationship with Trump Donald Trump in the White House: a relationship with a dishonest sexual predator and convicted criminal isn't a relationship. It's abuse centralbylines.co.uk/opinion/it-i...

AdopteeVoices are being silenced by our own, by bios, by media, by Adopters, by state.

UK energy industry made £483bn profit since 2020. OFGEM's marginal pricing rules guarantee profits to the most inefficient/costly producer. 1 in 5 of all deaths are people in fuel poverty – including 110,000 pensioners. No curbs on profiteering. Real wages cut. WFP cut. Cost of living soaring.

The most damning thing Badenoch can find to say about the Lib Dems is that they are nice.

Yes. And in light of recent events do we *really* want to allow the US to deploy nuclear weapons at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk? www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

#Cornwall: Green councillors and Newquay's Green Mayor condemn cuts to frontline services for vulnerable children & families. "Greens are showing there’s a better way – one that prioritises people over waste & delivers real value for our communities." www.voicenewspapers.co.uk/news/council...

I wrote this in July for @bylinetimes.bsky.social Supplement. The Axis of fascist kleptocracy has taken shape even more quickly than I feared then. Trump is now working actively with Putin to destroy democracy and the rule of law in Europe. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/fascism-re...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

More billionaires does though. All that stolen money creates extreme poverty, and crime.

Andrew Malkinson is to receive an initial ‘six-figure’ compensation payout after suffering one of the worst miscarriages of justice in modern times, becoming one of a tiny handful of wrongfully convicted people to receive any recompense in the last decade www.thejusticegap.com/andy-malkins...

Fewer trials could be decided by juries under new government proposals. What does this mean for justice in England and Wales? Read our blog 👉 appeal.org.uk/defend-our-juries

www.theguardian.com/law/2025/feb... We 100% agree with this letter. The compensation scheme in this country is nothing less than a scandal.

A jury at the Old Bailey has acquitted six young Black boys of all charges after rejecting the prosecution’s attempt to convict them of murder under controversial joint enterprise laws www.thejusticegap.com/six-black-bo...

JUSTICE submitted evidence to @davidgauke.bsky.social’s crucial Independent Sentencing Review. As prison overcrowding strains the justice system, it’s vital we ensure the set of rules that determine people’s punishment for crimes are fair, effective, and help prevent reoffending. (1/3)

The great stitch-up begins in Riyadh today, as the US government seeks to hand eastern Ukraine, bound and gagged, to Putin. This, as Trump knows and wants, will encourage Putin to threaten and destabilise the rest of Europe. *Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.*

Right, social media site. Today is the day that the lovely people at @picadorbooks.bsky.social reveal the cover for my first crime thriller, The Cut Throat Trial. So here it is. And I think it’s rather splendid. If anybody wishes to preorder, links are below. bio.to/7zNmPU Eek.

“The real “threat from within” comes from those fake British patriots loudly cheering on attacks on our own country by a hostile foreign power” @adambienkov.bsky.social 👏 www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-collab...

He's right. The only people who don't want a 'European Army' are Mr Vladimir Putin and his apologists and useful idiots. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A lovely obituary by @familybrief.bsky.social of James Turner KC (who was perhaps better known to some from twitter as @jamesturner37). financialremediesjournal.com/content/jame...

Interesting blog on the Seema Misra trial.

Are juries fair? barristerblogger.com/2025/02/12/a...

A long, sober and horrifying read from Robert Kagan. Putin doesn't want peace. He senses victory, which would be a catastrophe for Ukraine, and for Europe and America too. There seems little hope that Trump will even try to prevent that outcome. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

I wonder if they find a scapegoat for this one? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For all her talk of reconnecting the Conservative party with the country it hopes to lead, it is difficult to think of a time when it has felt less connected to the concerns of most British voters than under Kemi Badenoch www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/kemi-baden...

It’s second Sunday of the month. Time for Captain Dan’s laundry service for destitute and/or homeless asylum seekers and refugees here underground, below St Martin in the Fields

People can be disparaging about support offered by religious organisations and their members, yet in austerity and homelessness it can be an essential lifeline | Irram Irshad @bylines.cymru

This is the opposite of what socialism is supposed to be. Companies should not be able to dictate to governments.

Ask everyone on the Far Right, Nigel Farage, Rupert Lowe, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Kemi Badenoch to condemn the killing in Sweden carried out by a White Far Right shooter at a school for immigrants. Because they sure as hell won't mention it.

133 years ago this cartoon was drawn, and in 133 years the problem has only gotten worse.
