Reversing austerity is the only way to tackle the courts backlog.

More of this, not cutting jury trials

March with us on 28 March to secure a better future for our children: togetheralliance.org.uk

Children copy what they see.

And educators across the country are seeing exactly what happens when children are exposed to the far right’s harmful narratives.

It’s sickening.

I recommend the latest @bylinetimes.bsky.social
Many informative articles, covering aspects that most of the media ignores.

Here’s a quote from an Iain Overton piece on Epstein

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

The Epstein files grant us a rare glimpse into the kind of machinations that must be happening all the time. As @bylinetimes.bsky.social reveals, Trump's fixer, Steve Bannon, helped Boris Johnson overthrow Theresa May. Blatant foreign interference in our politics. 🧵
