@MaxFRobespierre @Katie_Lam_MP There won't be any prosecutions as Hilary Benn says. It is about unending reinvestigations, legally aided at huge expense, reopened inquests, public inquiries and already 1,000 civil suits with more to be permitted. Cost over £1 billion. Product nil. History rewritten.

The Government want to restart prosecutions of British veterans who served in Northern Ireland. They say that we have to, because of the ECHR. But if the ECHR means that we have to drag our veterans through the courts, what better argument can there be for leaving?

@BenObeseJecty Would Hilary Benn have to drop his EU reset with Dublin Troubles Bill too?

Prediction: Al Carns drops out of the leadership contest once his profile is sufficiently raised, cutting a deal with whoever looks most likely to win in return for becoming their Defence Secretary. If I were John Healey I’d be very worried about my position…
Larisa Brown@larisamlbrown

EXCLUSIVE: Al Carns WILL join the race to become PM if there is a contest. A parliamentary source told @thetimes "Al Carns has said ‘he is getting on with doing his job, but if someone fires the starting gun, he isn’t afraid of gunfire’." They said the implication was Carns "would throw his hat in the ring should someone trigger a race"

The 2023 Legacy Act is still in place as the now needless Remedial Order removing immunity and restoring civil suits has to start again in parliament. It was never put to the Lords. newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/…

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

Al Carns: How Labour can win again What is the point of Labour if it does not represent Sheffield, Stoke-on-Trent, Barnsley, Swansea and Aberdeen? What is the point of the Labour Party if it cannot replace despair and frustration with hope, stability and purpose? The party was founded to give ordinary working people security, dignity and bargaining power over their lives. That is exactly what I believe, and it must be our mission again. We do not need more slogans, strategies, press releases or commissions. We need action. People in this country do not expect perfection. But they do expect seriousness. They expect stability and fairness. And they expect a government that is on their side. That is what Labour must be again. It is how Labour defeats Nigel Farage. And it is how Britain recovers. @AlistairCarns newstatesman.com/politics/uk-po…

@Gaynotqueer1 Conversion therapy: Ministers have said that they will bring forward legislation for a full trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices. The Conversion Practices Bill was announced in the 2024 King's Speech.

@jameswoudhuysen Devi has been silent for a long time especially since her protector Sturgeon departed. We need a public inquiry into her role and the costs incurred by following her advice.

Unionist Voice Policy Studies has written to the NI Human Rights Commission to call for the withdrawal of their legally false ‘guidance’ on Article 2 of the Windsor Framework & legacy. The Chief Commissioner has politicised the body with partisan activism.

A male student who calls himself 'they/them', who is not a British Citizen and came here on a temporary visa is now an elected MSP - this typifies everything that is sick with our democracy.
Paul Embery@PaulEmbery

A student from India who does not hold British citizenship and is here on a temporary visa has just been elected to the Scottish parliament to serve a four-year term (salary £80,000 per year). How in God’s name can something like this be allowed to happen? Our democracy is sick.

@anon_opin The civil service needs to be halved anyway, so people leaving would be a good thing. Priorities then get aligned with who is left. Go for it, why not.

Civil servant here. If Farage wins the next GE, he'll call us all back to the office 5 days a week. The CS will then be on the verge of collapse, as thousands of people will either retire immediately or quit, due to the removal of WFH. Cheap optics will meet reality.
