I have discovered the truth of this in 2025.
Night night sweet dreamies
Sometimes life surprises us
Focus on the support that shows up, the people who choose you, check in, & make space for you
Not the ones you expected to.
Real care isn’t about who should be there, but who is there

Jo Hardy-Susskind is right: Lammy missed solutions 1-99 & leapt to 100: withdrawal of jury trial from all offences where sentences likely to be <3 yrs imprisonment. Get Defs to court on time. Make IT, toilets, ceilings, floors, lifts, heating & cooling work. Every court & hour of time used.

Extremely disappointing to hear S Sackman KC MP repeat her misleading statements about the Canadian criminal justice system, today in the Commons. She's been corrected by the Chair of the CBA Riel Karmy-Jones KC & by my paper for Leveson, republished on LinkedIn and on the @coeusjustice Substack.

This week, the Labour Government published England’s first ever Men’s Health Strategy – from cancer, to cardiovascular disease, and mental health.
For the first time we're taking comprehensive, coordinated action to address the specific health challenges facing men and boys.

No Archbishop or rabbi or other unelected Peer should have any say over my life. They have no moral or other authority or superior wisdom. The wrecking amendments are disgraceful & seal the case for the constitutional reforms proposed by Gordon Brown's Committee.

This is great news.
News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.
