Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border
In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.
I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: itβs completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

Mounting research shows that COVID-19 leaves its mark on the brain, including significant drops in IQ scores
Two new high-profile studies add to the increasingly worrisome picture of how even mild cases of COVID-19 can have detrimental effects on brain health.
Itβs not the βlockdowns,β or at least that shouldnβt be our primary concern now. Itβs the effects of the virus itself, which is a harder fact for people to face. Since there are no mitigations in society, new cases of cognitive dysfunction from COVID happen everyday. Itβs not over.
