Hadush Kebatu arrested after mistake by prison staff. Human error. That's the story, however Sky News managing to create wall to wall coverage, with the narrative of the government failing and Broken Britain etc.
Wonder if they'll pick up on him not wearing a poppy.

It’s a sign of how far to the right British politics have been driven that the extremist idea of leaving the ECHR is now mainstream. The correct response by a journalist when a British politician says they want to leave the ECHR ought to be an incredulous: "Are you out of your tiny mind?"

Maybe Mandelson can't be banned from the House of Lords but removal of the Labour whip would is surely essential. Otherwise Starmer is continuing to look weak.

Corbyn and Sultana's new socialist party seems uncertain about its view on Scottish independence. However, air it is to be seen as a modern, democratic socialist party it *must* at least support the principle of Scotland's right to choose. Otherwise it's just another anti-democratic unionist party.

Suppose the unthinkable happens, the country loses its mind and puts #Farage in charge as PM.
The way his Ltd company is set up no one can challenge him.
He is the party.
So if he is as feckless as Liz Truss (or worse) his party couldn't get rid of him and nor could we.
We'd elect a dictator
