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.

'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.'
'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.

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

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.
