I've huge respect for the Hillsborough campaigners but they have gotten as far as they have because the current government are broadly sympathetic to them. Security bodies have behaved to obfuscate, delay and mislead courts for years re NI with no govt push back; NI is the elephant in the room here:

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners."
In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures.
Maybe Beth is on a diet.

Also because the people inside it are too cowardly to either spend the money or demolish/stop using the building to not spend it, so their staff have to work in a deathtrap instead.
We are encouraged not to see this as a metaphor for how Britain is run.

The Palace of Westminster is literally going to either burn down, kill someone, or both because spending money to save it is perceived as so politically toxic.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point
How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

Interesting responses from McAlinden J to oral argument in the Judicial Review of Irish language signage at Central Station. Not only judicial exasperation with the farcical scenes of different Exec departments on different sides of the case but also an invocation of parity of esteem from the bench:

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business.
It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI.

Remember when the slightest tremor regarding the Northern Irish protocol was excited front page news.

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own “Manhattan project”
