The Tories, who spent 14 years decimating the prison & justice system, are now furious with the state of the prison & justice system

It’s almost offensive for Tory MP Richard Holden to appear on #PoliticsLive & show zero contrition for the disaster they left it in

A screenshot of a meme split in two parts. 
At the top right to the middle is a cartoon of Bart Simpson looking into a huge telescope. The text on a white background to the left of this image and it says:
β€˜Reform UK hearing the possibility the attacker might be an immigrant.’

Below this section on the right hand side to the bottom of the image is a cartoon of Bart Simpson with blackout glasses on walking with a cane holding onto a school locker with the other hand for balance

BBC News bulletins leading on the story of an Algerian man being mistakenly released by the prison service.

Funnily enough I don't remember these cases ever leading the bulletins when an average of ten prisoners were mistakenly released a month in the final year of the last Government

If your government thinks the Pope β€œdoesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Being super-rich is not a good indicator of what you’ve put in, it’s a measure of what you’ve taken out.

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back β€œcontrol” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

"By a whopping two-to-one margin, voters now favor the pre-Brexit immigration system to the one that has taken shape since leaving the EU."

Even among Reform UK voters, more wish they could go back to pre-2021 migration rules! ~AA

Oil firm TotalEnergies made misleading green statements, court rules French multinational is ordered to remove its website messages about aiming for carbon neutrality

Merci beaucoup to the French court for smacking down the greenwashing merde of TotalEnergies, the 7th biggest corporate fossil fuel polluter who just announced plans to expand gas production.

It's the first time France's Greenwashing law has been used against a fossil fuel company.

🀯 The government have announced that university tuition fees in England will increase every year in line with inflation from 2026.

πŸ§‘πŸŽ“ Education should be a right, not a privilege.

πŸ’š That's why the Green Party would scrap tuition fees altogether.
