Remember when our then FM N Sturgeon pulled out of a BBC media conference to avoid ‘legitimising far right or racist views’ and then the editor of the Holyrood Parliamentary magazine gave him a ‘We’re the right side of History’ interview
In other emails, Epstein described his relationships with foreign leaders, advised Steve Bannon on how to increase his influence in Europe and offered his (mostly, but not entirely, dim) assesment of Trump to those who asked. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

This is particularly true when claimant anonymity is at risk. So I am relieved that the Court rejected their application to live tweet. And I think that they had to apologise for their inaccuracies in Court today even when *not* live tweeting should be taken into account by judges in future.

Tribunal Tweets put out that they were reviewing their notes to "allow identification" of the anonymous claimants. Obviously an error – though it remained up for two hours – but perhaps highlights the wisdom of the court in refusing them permission to live tweet highly sensitive proceedings.
