This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Wish I could say I was shocked, but here's the Labour government constraining the right to peaceful protest again...

'You can protest but only according to our rules. The rules are: you're not allowed to use any of the tactics that make protest effective.'
NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Today missed being Easter by 22 minutes.

Gregorian Calendar’s definition: First Sunday after the first Full Moon after the March Equinox. If the Full Moon had occurred 22 minutes earlier, landing yesterday (GMT), then today would have been that first Sunday.

All those Tufton Street free market think tanks have been strangely reluctant to condemn Trump's egregious departure from free market dogma. It's almost as if they didn't want to piss off their US billionaire funding base.

#r4today editor’s decision to interview Livia Tossici-Bolt is extremely disappointing. She *has* freedom of speech. What she shouldn’t have is the right to interfere in the personal choices of those exercising their own right to access healthcare. She knew EXACTLY what she was doing.

The latest UK economic prediction for 2030 is the poorest 95% of people will get poorer, with the bottom 33% getting poorer twice as fast as the rest.

Only the richest 5% will get richer, with nearly 95% of the money going to the top 1% who will get 100% richer.

When you have a golden opportunity to do things differently.. a huge majority.. 4 years more in power.. Trump destabilising America and making the EU the far safer, saner bet.. And you do nothing radical to shift the dial in that moment.. just more Daily-Mail-pleasing bullshit.. you’ve failed.

I’m finding it very hard to understand the stance of the Royal Society here. Science is part of society, not separate from it, existing in some strange metaphysical bubble. I look across the Atlantic, aghast at the damage being done to science and scientists.

Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.
