Odd how some people think it’s wrong for Musk to suggest Farage steps down but are fine with his open attacks on our Judiciary & government (and vice versa).
Principles shouldn’t be dependent on political allegiances.

I’m finding the recent focus by the government and media re the functioning of the criminal justice system (including the use of prison and rehabilitation) a welcome development (even if I don’t always like some of the conclusions).

Few issues leave me as torn as the issue of assisted dying. I agree with the principled arguments for (in certain circumstances people should be able to have assistance in dying) & the practical arguments against (the likely unintended consequences). How are others so certain?
