25-year-old Victoria Thomas-Bowen has been given a suspended prison sentence today for assault by beating, for throwing a milkshake over Nigel Farage in Clacton. Farage has claimed her being spared jail is "two-tier justice". It's not, as I'd like to highlight in a small 🧵

A classy way to make any sympathies evaporate. I'm a proud, hardworking bastard.

@mrianleslie @Samfr I came here for an answer to this question...

@Samfr Why has Tamberi got half a beard?

Brilliant run by Matt Hudson-Smith, breaking the 36 year old European Record in the 400m semis - 44.26.

Politicians whose only contributions to the criminal justice system are to defund it and then to call for the deaths of the people convicted within, are not the sort of people with your best interests at heart.

"Sincerity and insight cannot be extracted from an unrepentant defendant any more than they can from a politician." @BarristerSecret on why murderers like Lucy Letby cannot be forced to appear in court, regardless of political posturing: inews.co.uk/opinion/lucy-l…

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.

Love love LOVE her...

@NoContextBrits One of the only people in my life who might think these are a good idea... @grubkat

Idiotic line by Labour. Sunak and his party have devastated the criminal justice system through gleeful defunding of its constituent parts, causing record backlogs and delays of years. But he is not responsible for sentences imposed in a relatively small number of cases.

Something happened at @Official_HUFC, Jeff? #EFL | @JeffStelling

EXCL - For first time we can reveal number of rape & serious sexual assault cases cancelled because complainant dropped out. 1621 cases collapsed over 5 yrs (2017-2022) because alleged victim decided not to pursue case after defendant had been charged, say #Newsnight FOI figs 1/

Budget Day... Govt pledges to help "hardworking families" and "British business"... 38yr old, childless, public service worker left hotly anticipating changes to alcohol and fuel duty... 🍻⛽️

Big shout out to @PayGapApp - spending this International Womens Day simply pointing out how much all the organisations & businesses Tweeting about IWD actually pay their women

16-year-old Rishmeet Singh was chased & stabbed to death in west London in 2021. He was stabbed 15 times after he tripped & fell. An innocent victim in the wrong place at the wrong time. Today, two teenagers - 17 at the time - were found guilty of murder. Why no coverage?
