We've won the UK's first ever SLAPP suit - acting for @danneidle.bsky.social - and made some really important law protecting the right to call out barristers whose misconduct facilitates aggressive tax avoidance.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Badenoch says that the Mandelson files show that Keir Starmer misled the public and parliament and that he should resign
Of course if misleading the public and parliament was a reason, Badenoch would resign for insulting our armed forces then saying she didn't insult our armed forces
One upside of the potentially imminent demise of the Labour Party would be an end to the Labour factions forever war (at least until it reappears with in or between the Greens and Lib Dems)
👇🏽⚪️‼️ where is the lie ‼️⚪️👇🏽
Brexiter Arlene Foster who now sits in the House of Lords wants to cut welfare support and spend the money on defence instead
Brexit costs the UK £90 billion in lost tax income every year,if we didn't have Foster's Brexit we could keep supporting those in need while also ramping up defence spending
Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.
Hereditary peers go be removed from the Lords.
This is a step in the right direction.
The entire chamber should be abolished.
There's an argument for a second chamber, but who would it comprise of, on what merits, and how could it be operated impartially, effectively, and without being abused?
NEW: MPs have voted to allow the courts and tribunals bill to progress to next stage by 304 votes to 203, majority 101.
Justice secretary David Lammy argued the bill, which curbs access to jury trials in England & Wales, would help reduce backlogs at crown courts.
Don't worry everybody, there's a 22 yo in charge of counter terrorism and Kash Patel fired most of the experts in Iranian militant groups.
I explained a while ago that it would be impossible to say anything about Trump’s Iranian ‘adventure’ with absolute certainty. I’m sorry, I was wrong. He will *never* do anything that genuinely upsets or angers Vladimir Putin. Whether in Iran, in Ukraine or even in the USA. It is his only constant.
Of the last 16 Home Secretaries, 5 have gone out of their way to identify themselves personally with the "Hostile Environment" (6 if you count Braverman twice). 3 have been Tories, 2 Labour — and it's hard to tell any of their anti-immigrant propaganda apart.

Shabana Mahmood, the pound shop Priti Patel, strikes again
Cruel, heartless, outright disgraceful
I have 8am & 2 pmDr appt,
Have a wonderful evening everyone, Goodnight blusky friends 🥰
Patel fires FBI Iran experts just in time for war. Counter-terror generally has already been taken apart.

"It is not that one expects these guys to actually *like* Starmer: few of those who actually voted for him do. Nonetheless – when did denizens of the British right convince themselves that backing a foreign leader over their own countrymen was in any way patriotic?"
On "patriotic" "conservatives"
I wonder if Farage and Badenoch are having a little think about whether they should have been so gun-ho about supporting this war. You sure that's going to be a popular long-term position pal?
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
I love Mary Trump…
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
Please tell me this is not real? Please tell me it’s an AI fake? It’s too horrendous to comprehend. While he jokes, the region is in chaos, economies upended, lives lost, and enhanced threat of terrorism worldwide, esp against Americans.

What do they all have in common?
They've all spoken out about Ticketmaster ripping off fans.
But Trump just gave Ticketmaster the equivalent of a corporate pardon.
It's a betrayal of every fan in America.
We also matched details of the remnants to publicly available imagery of Tomahawk components in the Open Source Munitions Portal (OSMP) @munitionsportal.bsky.social osmp.ngo/model/tomaha...
We reported yesterday that footage showed a US Tomahawk missile hitting a facility metres from the school. In the footage, smoke could already be seen rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...
Nigel Farage’s dream of entering No 10 could be extinguished by tactical voting among left-wing voters, new polling for The i Paper suggests.

This is due to Liz Truss as Energy Secretary…she allowed our Centrica storage site to be shut down.
Everything she touches.
And to be fair to Ed Miliband, once closed, surveying in detail & re-opening storage again is not quick I am told.
