Ex-convicts β€˜just as reliable’ as other staff, says prisons minister Lord Timpson, who has campaigned for radical reform of the prison system, stuck by his belief that two thirds of ex-prisoners should never have been jailed

There’s little animosity between #Forest & Notts County - not uncommon for fans to alternate home games between Meadow Lane & City Ground - so it’s a real joy to see @NFFC playing superb football with such success (7-0!!)

Has the Times sacked its Media Correspondent? Scrolling through its news list and it’s missed a huge story involving the monarchy, journalist ethics and a billion pound cover up at a hugely powerful media organisation. Surely more important than whether dogs suffer from January blues?

It’s so obvious it shouldn’t need stating - taking down the barriers to trade with the #EU which were created by #Brexit will boost our economy - if the Govt is serious about growth (it is) then FGS get on with it!

Not for the first time, the Leader of the Opposition was wrong.

Please read the statement from the APPG on British Muslims below. #PMQs

β€œIslamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that
targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness” Nothing about this definition prevents discussion, investigation & condemnation of any crime. Proud to have helped define Islamophobia

They jumped before they were pushed #Broxtowe #Labour
The new β€˜Independents’ never supported Starmer & their treatment of their party’s Parly candidate from the time of her selection was appalling.
@JOCampbellMP has shown courage & dignity. She deserves the support of everyone in Broxtowe.

This has had me giggling all afternoon. It was posted by @lisagillmore.bsky.social on X, but unfortunately she is not very active here, and I just have to share it.

This is NOT what Thomas said as the report states β€œan intermediate court might reduce the pressure on crown court lists, he also said the situation was so dire that the justice system would need more money regardless”

Sick n tired of sloppy journalism!
