Liz Hull seems to now be arguing the equivalent logic that the Birmingham Six might still have done it, because they could have found an explosive that wasn't picked up by hand swabs. Surely that's not the right question? #lucyletby archive.is/V3Lc3

Fortunately I'm not overly hassled by Universal Credit, because I manage some work. For anyone who has to access their journal constantly, this is their helpful advice if your phone is having a problem:
