Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

- They do not support mental health, they enable problem gamblers. “Responsible gambling” is a myth.
- They moved gambling addiction to being a healthcare problem in 2022
- Penny machines? Not the same, not even close.
- Completely agreed on Point 4.
You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:

1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

Yet again, it's down to a real journalist, @monkemma.bsky.social to debunk this culture war codswallop.
It blows my mind too that people believe this rubbish. It takes hardly any time to verify that Christmas actually looks rather fun in Sheffield this year
It blows my mind that there are real people who see a post like this and actually believe the whole “Christmas is being cancelled by Muslims” BS 🙄

Let’s have a quick look at what’s happening to Sheffield so you can put your Express reading uncle’s mind at ease!😆

"We don't want to forget, we want to remember."

25 years from the end of the LGBT+ ban in the military, a monument to their courage is being unveiled. It could not have arrived at a more relevant moment. Everywhere we look today, we can see that progress can be undone all too easily. ~AA

Oh dear Mr F.
Keep lying - there's just so much evidence it's delicious
Nigel Farage now says that any suggestion he's been soft on Putin is "just nonsense".

Here's a quick reminder of what he's said in the past

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.

Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

Farage and Gill have always been mates and always been grifters
They really do think we're all mugs.
Here’s something that should never disappear….

Nigel Farage (in the company of Nathan Gill), being quizzed by Channel 4’s Matt Frei.

Come on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social
This story about a key member of Reform Ltd is languishing on the Wales page - surely this is big and serious stuff - a British politician committing treason offences- should be headlining national news?
Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

So yes, UKIP/Brexit/Reform are all largely the same party

Brexit/Reform is literally the same party

Yes, Gill was very much Farage’s guy in Wales

The bribes happened during his time as Brexit party MEP with Farage

This is 100% Reform’s man

I’m quite sure they mean it when they say they want to “get rid of waste”. What they really mean by that though is get rid of certain groups from public life, and eliminate their voice and visibility.

People who look different, who think differently, and who act differently are all a threat.

Continuing my reverse-trolling of Trump and my own government, in honour of the US president's state visit I donated to Gaza: Medicins Sans Frontieres & UNICEF and to support Ukraine: United24.
Every time they do or say something appalling, I fight back with a donation
