Russia has joined the attack on the BBC. It's becoming clear that what is happening is not a criticism of a mistake by the BBC, but an international fascist attack on British democracy. You only have to see the extraordinary number of trolls unleashed on X to know that's what is happening.

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.

Duties of a Doctor (General Medical Council) imply that giving out false or misleading information that could lead to harm might be grounds for removing a doctor from the Medical Register.

It's outrageous. Labour's new Planning and Infrastructure bill will be disastrous for wildlife. What are they playing at?

I'd forgotten how atmospheric the cutting is - an amazing testament to 19th century engineering, and the sheer hard graft of the workers, when you see it close up like that👍

One lesson from volunteering at a Foodbank is that we are indeed an island of strangers.
The division is not ethnicity but wealth. Just like I don't know any wealthy landowners our clients don't know people who own their homes or enjoy a regular decent income.
