The state of the justice system is best measure of the fairness of a society. Coronavirus must not be used an excuse to abandon jury trials. The opportunity to be judged by 12 peers is a vital to prevent bias and ensure justice. channel4.com/news/the-secre…

If you’re short on time or form your legislative views over WhatsApp (I’m looking at you) then here’s a one-pager:

The cover of the Lancet. It says it all.

Private Eye acknowledges the genius of our political commentariat.

Atmospheric scientist here. Let me tell you what was actually "slashed" today. Slashed: The Endangerment Finding — a 200-page scientific review upheld by the Supreme Court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and reaffirmed by the National Academies of Sciences in 2025. Slashed: The legal authority to regulate carbon from cars, power plants, and factories. All of it. Gone in one afternoon. Now here's what you're "saving": Yesterday Trump ordered the Pentagon — the largest energy consumer on Earth — to buy coal electricity. Coal costs $69–$169/MWh. Wind costs $27–$53/MWh. Solar costs $38–$78/MWh. 99% of U.S. coal plants cost more to run than replacing them with brand-new solar or wind. That's your tax dollars buying the most expensive electricity on the market. By executive order. While the Peabody Energy CEO stood in the room. And the human cost of what you're "saving"? 460,000 American deaths linked to coal pollution in 20 years. Coal PM2.5 is 2.1x deadlier than other air pollution. (Henneman et al., Science, 2023) All to protect an industry that employs 44,000 people total. Clean energy employs 3.5 million.

Antonia Romeo, tipped as next Cabinet Secretary, was senior responsible officer for Transforming Rehabilitation which semi privatised probation service - later reversed after described as “irredeemably flawed”.

The unprecedented rise in measles is absolutely an American policy failure.

Just a reminder. While #Mandelson enjoys tax payers' money for a job which comes with a luxury lifestyle, I was 'investigated' for 13 months, kept from promotion, and excluded by @UKLabour for liking tweets by @Glinner and expressing my view that only women can have a cervix...

New Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson secretly advising JPMorgan’s CEO on how to fight Labour’s 2009 bankers’ bonus tax - even suggesting he “mildly threaten” the Chancellor. Mandelson was Business Secretary at the time. A year later, he was seeking work with JPM.

Dear 🇬🇧, Here’s your reminder that a decade ago, before the NHS was intentionally gutted by the Tories, the UK health service was ranked #1 in the world. Do not let @Nigel_Farage con you into believing otherwise. It’s time to end privatisation and reinvest in the NHS. #SOSNHS

Unvaccinated people never fared better than their vaccinated counter parts during the COVID pandemic. They died at higher rates the ENTIRE pandemic. History isn't going to change just because it's inconvenient to your narrative...

You know what would be really "tough on crime"? Living wages, fully funded schools, affordable housing, universal healthcare, and a little empathy for those in need.

It is fascinating how efficient capitalism is at reducing the price of non essentials and boosting the price of essentials

@DrTedros is correct. The @WHO recommended masks, vaccines, and distancing. It never mandated anything because it has no power to mandate anything. Every COVID policy was a sovereign decision made by national governments, including ours. Kennedy is blaming an international advisory body for decisions the US government made. And we’re skipping out on $260 million in unpaid dues on the way out the door. He knows this.

"This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board." —@_david_ho_ nature.com/immersive/d415…

Saw this earlier, sadly a time of the times. Eight #FACup third round games today. Not one on free to air TV. Instead, fans are asked to pay £31 a month to watch a competition that once belonged to everyone. The #FACup is how so many of us first fell in love with football. Cold afternoons. The TV on. Giant killings. Stories that stayed with you for life. Kids didn’t need subscriptions. They didn’t need logins. They just watched and that’s how generations of supporters were made. You don’t grow the game by locking it away. You grow it by letting people see it. The FA Cup deserved better and so do the fans. 👎

‘Graduates need to be earning about £66,000 before they start tackling the actual debt and not just the interest.’ The student loan system is an unsustainable, irrational, immoral and classist system that’s been ignored by politicians for far too long. thetimes.com/money/family-f…

Soon we will all realise that there is nothing inherently progressive about being queer or homosexual. It is just a sexuality, like any other inherent trait. Queer people can be racists, fascists, misogynists, sexists and terrorists. It is not a protective shield from the "isms".
