Greater Anglia train disruption, driver reports possible fatality at #Rayleigh 😢

For those cheering for cuts to disability benefits, remember, you could become disabled tomorrow. Your child could become disabled, your partner could at any time. No one chooses to be disabled or chronically ill, it just happens. #DisabilityBenefits

📢 The UK government is talking about making HUGE cuts to disabled people’s social security. Disabled people are already three times more likely to face hunger, and these cuts risk pushing even more people to food banks. Things don't have to be this way. There’s still time to show the government this plan is wrong. Are you with us?

If you are at a loose end in August we'd love to sign you up to help on Britain's biggest cycling adventure... londonedinburghlondon.com/volunteer

“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?” “Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?” Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered. #RefugeesWelcome

Didn’t take much digging to find this. The late owner was an avid UKIP donor and his children, all of whom are directors and have directly profited from this grotesque spectacle, have links to Rishi Sunak. Obviously… thenational.scot/news/23688826.…

BREAKING: The Bibby Stockholm prison ship will close in January. We welcome this news. It should never have opened & the Gov is right to end this shameful practice. People seeking sanctuary should be housed in our communities, where they belong. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Breaking: Bibby Stockholm Barge to close. (Send it to Docklands, moor it up and let all the Tory MPs left, and the few Reform MPS use it as London flats. They all claimed it to be luxury, after all ...)

@pcpro am I imagining it, or did Tim say on the podcast that all PC Pro reviews can be found online? Thanks!

It’s quite chilling to realise that we were completely abandoned in 2020 - by a government that was - as Matt Hancock said to the Covid Inquiry - just worried about buying enough body bags. They were preparing for mass death while reassuring everyone it was going to be ok…

I missed this foray into family court reporting by @Eddiebisk, but it’s about as discouraging an experience one could have of trying to report under the pilot having persuaded your editor to give you the time. derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-new…
