Mike Amesbury getting a prison sentence is crackers & so frustrating. Less than a week since a report from the Sentencing Review specifically about the mess created by an overly politicised (‘tough on crime’) justice system. Prisons at 99.1% capacity. Not surprised his solicitor was so shocked.

‘M&S is goated when train snacks are the vibe’ You bolt awake in the mountains of Carthage. You are not eating a biscuit. It is 217 BC. You are the general Hannibal, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. Rome must burn.

My Dad joined NHS Direct from ICU in the late 90s. They were all experienced clinicians with diverse backgrounds and knowledge, importantly skilled in history taking and triage. Calls began and ended with them with advice or actions. 111's '20 questions and good luck' doesn't compare. So sad.

“The coroner also criticised NHS 111 for “misleading” the public by calling its call handlers “health advisers”. This title, she said, “implies professionalism which is untrue given their underlying skills and unsubstantiated given it is their role to complete an algorithm”.”

Positive @davidgauke.bsky.social led review will confront 'penal populism' - longer & longer sentences, doing less & less good. Better sentencing = less crime. That's the goal. Not the political sugar rush of ramping up sentences every time there's a row. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/feb...

The prison population stands at 87,094. There are 153 more people in prison than there were last week. By the prison service's own measure of safe and decent accommodation, there is room for only 79,428 people in the system. The population is 7,666 above this level. howardleague.org/prison-watch/

If you cannot make a safe return journey but bike (eg because it's dark) you're not going to do the trip by bike. This is about equality and affects children and the elderly also

A really harrowing report. Women in prison are driven into misery & shame by failure to provide the most basic dignities: not clothed properly, one third unable to receive face-to-face visits (ie unable to see kids). Untrammelled punishment - how is anyone supposed to be rehabilitated by this?

Every time I look at the recall figures I can hardly believe my eyes. This is a scandal which leads to people cycling round and round the justice system (and in and out of our full-to-bursting prisons), and which by its nature prevents them getting the help so many of them need. Time for action!

A few years ago I saw some tabloid/clickbait claiming the ‘most likely’ place for ISIS to set up its first UK stronghold would be the island of Lundy and have always thought this would make such a good sitcom

Read that awful, awful Neil Gaiman piece yesterday and have been thinking about it ever since. Have also been thinking about the terrible case of Kiena Dawes: justice for victims of abuse is still far too hard to achieve. www.bbc.com/news/article...
