Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban

And also this dispute is clearly about how often he’s away from home and not The Pile

my true thoughts on this are that messiness as a failing is sometimes unavoidable and we should all be a bit more forgiving of each other but chaos being the actual intended system is where I’d have to draw the line

A cartoon image of Bugs Bunny dressed as a king, lounging casually on a red, high-backed throne. He wears a purple robe with white fur trim and a gold crown with rounded points. His posture is relaxed and slightly slouched, with one arm draped over the armrest and a smug, half-lidded expression on his face. The background is softly shaded in muted brown tones, emphasizing the throne and his royal outfit.
