Juries are one of our most important safeguards against authoritarianism.
There is an emergency in our courts which needs tackling – but addressing that doesn’t require ripping up rights.

probably most people know this but: if you have an age related or disabled Railcard you can ask London underground staff to put it on your oyster and you get 1/3 off off-peak fares on tube/DLR/overground. with a disabled railcard it works for peak fares too

The Labour Party is led by people who are convinced that their massive parliamentary majority was given to them by the wrong kinds of voters
Feels like Reform are going for the group of people who don’t like modern Britain and Labour are going for the same group of people, but don’t like them either.

Farage’s “probity and judgment were sold as the product called Brexit. It turned out to be a piece of shit.”
And, unbelievably, this Labour govt finds itself trapped because it has refused to call this out.
What a profound - and now dangerous - political failure.

the biggest thing i hope studios take away from the success of Sinners and K-Pop Demon Hunters is that, wow, audiences actually DO like and want original stories and don't need every goddamn movie to be a sequel or reboot

good evening everyone, apparently the Home Office has decided that a naturalisation certificate is not sufficient proof of citizenship, which is EXTREMELY BATSHIT INSANE
I'm currently in immigration exile, see below.
Since I'm stateside, I'll be talking to the Morbidly Curious Book Club tonight at 7 pm EST about Victorian surgery and my first book, The Butchering Art. Please come and distract me with your questions. Link below 👇
