I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Two in five arrested for last summer’s UK riots had been reported for domestic abuse Police data indicates overlaps between public violent disorder and domestic violence and abuse

In "Legitimate Concerns" news.

41% of the 899 arrested for taking part in Farage Riots last year had been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence.

For those arrested by one police force, this figure was 68%.

so, to be clear, two european leaderships don't believe now is the time to recognise a palestinian state: sir keith, and the fascists. gotcha.

I appreciate it's cliche and pointless to note this, but I don't think that six months into her term a hypothetical President Kamala Harris would be suing MSNBC, Bill Gates and The Guardian for reporting on her close personal friendship with a paedophile.

“At”, the word is “AT Palestinians waiting for aid”.

Cos they’re evil.

Headline from the Daily Mail, 11 April 1927: "Stop the Flapper-Vote Folly!"

The right-wing press is going mad over votes at 16 ("a naked attempt to twist democracy in Labour’s favour", an "election-rigging move"...)

Oddly, they said the same 100 years ago when the voting age for women fell from 30 to 21.

Let's revisit the Mail's campaign to"Stop the Flapper Vote Folly"...

Dear News Networks:

The term for a “targeted politically motivated shooting” of a currently serving legislator is “Assassination.”

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Rioters breaking into the Capitol to try to lynch the VP: "great patriots [in a] peaceful lovefest"

Citizens being shot with rubber bullets cos they protested ICE arrests: "insurrectionist, violent foreign terrorists [leading a] form of rebellion"

Place your bets on Martial Law being declared

AOC: “The girls are fighting, aren’t they?”

Today is a day for confirming one iron rule of politics. Horrible people are also horrible to each other.

Two girls fighting. A third girl is watching while eating a huge tub of popcorn 🍿

Watching Musk v Trump like

There's only one thing I know for certain about this, and it's that neither Musk nor Trump has thought more than one move ahead and that at least one of them is acting under a drug induced haze and the other under a *gestures wildly* induced haze.

The two worst people are fighting and it’s incredible hahahahaha

Omg, this is delicious but I hate them both so can they just take each other out, that would be amazing 🍿🍿🍿 #MuskMeltdown #TrumpTantrum

… Adolescence when TRIE had done a deep dive?

Also would be interesting after this week’s main TRIE episode where Richard bizarrely said something along the lines of ‘people not caring about politics’ and the had a section on right wing US politicians latching on to cultural divisions 🤔

How come Rory and @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social on @therestpolitics.bsky.social never seem to mention their @trientertainment.bsky.social colleagues, even when there’s an obvious link like today’s TRIP question in the importance of politician’s being aware of culture, or when they talked about…

BREAKING

Reform's Zia Yusuf resigns as chair

"I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office."

🔥 Well said these MPs.

This government now appears to be deliberately misleading the house on their position on Israel & Gaza.

Everyone write to your MPs and ask where their voice is.

Spanish TV sent this message before starting broadcasting #Eurovision. The organisers of Eurovision had threatened Spanish public tv with a fine after the presenters said during the semifinal that Israel shouldn't participate in the contest. #RTVE

I just forced myself to listen to this.

What an absolute nasty, bullying, racist, derogatory, bigoted, old arsehole 🤮

If you’re a R*form voter and you fall for this bullshit, you’re a fucking idiot

“By aligning himself with the rhetoric of Farage, the prime minister is detoxifying Reform among right-leaning Labour voters, while toxifying Labour among the party’s liberal and left-wing supporters. It’s a lose-lose situation.” @writesbright.bsky.social nails it here. Labour should listen!

Gazans are starving. Israelis choose to look away Nothing can justify the deliberate starvation of Palestinians—nor the choice of many Israelis to ignore the suffering being inflicted in their name

Palestinians in Gaza are on the brink of starvation. Why are most Israelis averting their gaze?

Right there’s defo a whiff of Ralph Fiennes about the new pope, they were TOTALLY streaming Conclave at the cardinal slumber party last night 😏 #PopeLeoXIV #Conclave

Pardon my language @johnswinney.bsky.social but WHAT THE FUCK??? We’ve waited long enough, Westminster won’t get its act together, we need to do this ourselves.

Deeply disappointed in this @snp.org

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I genuinely hadn’t realised 😔

Very confused by last night’s #HIGNFY So does #IanHislop not support #transrights? That would be pretty disappointing 😔
