Reform UK suspends another member of Kent county council Isabella Kemp’s departure means party has lost nine of 57 councillors elected in May, including four after video leak

Juries are not perfect.

Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.

This feels personal. My child is in school in Glasgow. She's likely recorded as not speaking English as first language, even though it is basically her first. Everybody I know is extremely impressed that she's fully bilingual (me, too). Now these people are coming after her. Coming after children.

Nothing about this on BBC Scotland or the Birmingham bin strike. Almost as if the BBC branch in Glasgow don’t want you to know the mess Labour is making of running England.
