Self-deprecation is a wonderful thing but I've never been any good at it.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

It’s fascinating comparing the front page coverage of the Huntingdon train attack (below) with how the British press treated another case 30 years ago.
I’m referring to the 1995 Netto supermarket attack in Birmingham in which a man stabbed 10 people, killing one of them.

Powerful new Banksy mural on the Royal Courts of Justice building shows a judge hitting a protester lying on the ground with his gavel, with blood splattering the placard.

@davidallengreen.bsky.social further to your thread this morning on parliamentary supremacy, perhaps we now need to start thinking about the Senior Courts Act 1981 (in particular s11)

@davidallengreen.bsky.social your "disappointing but not surprising" post brought to mind the anecdote of Churchill meeting De Valera. Churchill described the situation in Britain as " serious but not hopeless", Dev responded that the situation in Ireland was hopeless but not serious

@davidallengreen.bsky.social constitutionally is this a drama or a crisis?
Nayib Bukele just said that 238 people he claimed were members of TdA arrived in El Salvador TODAY.
This may mean that DHS did NOT adhere to Judge Boasberg's order that planes in the air be turned back. If so, it would be--by far--the biggest act of defiance against a judge's order.
