'Steve Coogan: Windermere is nursing a sewage timebomb.'

It certainly is, it certainly is.

Masterful questioning from Edward Henry KC, who’s representing subpostmasters and subpostmistresses. Seriously worth a watch.

How fucking disgusting is the Daily Mail?

Imagine listening to two days of damning testimony against the government and the Post Office, and coming up with this headline…

The biggest threat to British democracy, is the British press.

Lord Ashcroft won £53.3m of NHS contracts in 2021 to supply Locum Doctors to 3 hospitals.

The profits from this were then paid straight to his Cayman tax haven bank accounts.

“The wilful destruction of Sure Start and the reductions of children’s benefits after 2010 has set back opportunities for millions of children’s futures. That’s why our country desperately needs a new Sure Start.”

Here it is: my 2024 manifesto to be Mayor of London. Can any other candidate beat this? Not a chance! #VoteBinface #MakeYourVoteCount #IchBinEinLondoner

“Mr Speaker. The party opposite talks about tax dodging. They have no idea. At this side of the House we deal in £millions when we do tax avoidance. My own wife dodged £20 million and wouldn’t have got out of bed to dodge just £1,500.
Mr Speaker, their tax dodging is pathetic”.

Today's Times

It is beyond moving to see the way Sub-Postmasters & mistresses are still supporting each other like family, 15 years after that first meet up in Fenny Compton village hall. It is a stain on our nation how hard these brave, innocent people are still having to fight for justice.

What am I missing in this William Wragg MP story? Why the ring of protection from the Conservatives? Why is this being treated as ‘one of those things’? There was a time and a party - not long ago - where he would have resigned. The public are being treated like fools.

In praise of Surestart. Among other things our local centre got 1st son a play therapy package for family trauma when 2nd son was born 14 weeks early. And same for 2nd son soon after, when 1st son got leukaemia. Those people saved our souls again & again. Brilliant initiative.

Left: Rishi Sunak says the UK is the second most powerful country in the world

Right: The British Dental Association trolls him adding, 'And it's citizens are pulling out their own teeth with pliers'

It does. I am appalled, scared and angry. Sunak has no right to take us out of the #ECHR . He has no mandate.
