Ex-convicts β€˜just as reliable’ as other staff, says prisons minister Lord Timpson, who has campaigned for radical reform of the prison system, stuck by his belief that two thirds of ex-prisoners should never have been jailed

There’s little animosity between #Forest & Notts County - not uncommon for fans to alternate home games between Meadow Lane & City Ground - so it’s a real joy to see @NFFC playing superb football with such success (7-0!!)

Has the Times sacked its Media Correspondent? Scrolling through its news list and it’s missed a huge story involving the monarchy, journalist ethics and a billion pound cover up at a hugely powerful media organisation. Surely more important than whether dogs suffer from January blues?

It’s so obvious it shouldn’t need stating - taking down the barriers to trade with the #EU which were created by #Brexit will boost our economy - if the Govt is serious about growth (it is) then FGS get on with it!

β€œIslamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that
targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness” Nothing about this definition prevents discussion, investigation & condemnation of any crime. Proud to have helped define Islamophobia

They jumped before they were pushed #Broxtowe #Labour
The new β€˜Independents’ never supported Starmer & their treatment of their party’s Parly candidate from the time of her selection was appalling.
@JOCampbellMP has shown courage & dignity. She deserves the support of everyone in Broxtowe.

This has had me giggling all afternoon. It was posted by @lisagillmore.bsky.social on X, but unfortunately she is not very active here, and I just have to share it.

This is NOT what Thomas said as the report states β€œan intermediate court might reduce the pressure on crown court lists, he also said the situation was so dire that the justice system would need more money regardless”

Sick n tired of sloppy journalism!
