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.

Almost every assertion of fact and law in Honest Bob Jenrick’s latest far-right-tickling rant is false.

But because I’m me, I feel it most important to point out that the statue of Lady Justice above the Old Bailey is famously *not* blindfolded.

As any real lawyer knows.

Ofgem increases its price cap for a third consecutive quarter

10% hike in October
1.2% hike in January
6.4% hike in April

What part of “price cap” doesn’t Ofgem understand?

I've been in positions before where I was told to delete an email because I mentioned a firewalls firmware was several years out of date.

and I had an entire pentest program killed because our discoveries would cost the company more to fix than the insurance premium

both years ago, just checkboxes
