This is depressing. PM appears to rule out youth mobility scheme with EU on ground “freedom of movement is a red line.” That makes no sense. It falls far short of “free movement” because it only allows individuals to come for a limited period & does not allow them to settle in UK or EU member state
Oh come on Labour - so depressing to hear Pat McFadden say UK has no plans for a youth mobility scheme with the EU. We have schemes with NZ, Australia, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Uruguay & more - only reason not to have one with EU is fear of right wing press. Such cowardice @bbclaurak.bsky.social

Any change in our laws about extending the boundaries of 'lawful killing' or of 'assisting with a suicide' will be a seismic change. Those nuanced expert contributions are an essential component of framing safe law, or of deciding that safety can't be guaranteed.

This is so mistaken and perverse. We need a BAN on driven grouse shooting. Not licensing, which gives a stamp of approval to an activity that will always be destructive and cruel.

It needs banning. As an RSPB Group Leader I am disgusted by the RSPB’s cowardice on this. It’s as sickening as the slaughter of migrant songbirds in the Mediterranean, and it’s about time it was called out as such.

As an addendum to this, it took four months to get this information, which would have been publicly available at the time of conviction.
The Times had to appoint counsel and attend a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court to secure its release. That is not an expense all publishers can afford.
