To add further insult to injury, this driver will be allowed to drive again after only 6 years.
In England a driver can be speeding, using cannabis and a phone, overtake another vehicle, mount the pavement outside a school playground and kill a 4-year-old girl while uninsured — and receive just 3 years 10 months for causing death by careless driving.

You join me at Swansea Crown Court / Llys y Goron Abertawe for an indecent images case where police had to wait 20 months to get a forensic examination report for the defendant’s phone. But sure, curtail the right to a jury trial as a way of reducing the backlog in the system.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner and it is FT Jim, who says this on the Political Fix podcast:
I thought this was obvious from the start. Particularly Starmer as "hood ornament" for Mandy's project.
Was looking at some old pictures of my street recently with a few pedestrians and delivery carts and the houses look exactly the same but the street looks incredibly wide, like a boulevard. It’s extraordinary how much public space we just shruggingly allow to be covered in metal boxes
Streets are amazingly wide and spacious once you remove cars…
This bit from Hannah Spencer's maiden speech struck me. On one level, it's just the sort of flimflam people say in maiden speeches or on the campaign trail.
But it implies there are bits of the country where these things are not true. Where in the UK do we not see each other as human?
Post a great photo of a musician.
Post a great photo of a musician - this shoot is hard to find now, as if he was somehow embarrassed by it
Farage looks like he'd probably smell a bit.
Stale shirts. Fag-stained teeth. Jackets with yesterday's booze spilt on them.
This ‘crowdsourced artwork’ is the best. The Bob Dylan one, I actually laughed out loud at. And the Low one is very clever. The Princess Superstar one is clearly the work of a very talented artist.

The only thing prohibiting you going out through this door right now is the goose attacking. It is open for going out should the goose not do that
Churchill disappearing as one of our most recognisable symbols seems an entirely good thing to me.

[3 months later] Conservative Party enjoys poll boost after Badenoch replaced by an otter
I used to think the reason I couldn’t go into politics is I would call the public idiots but the more I think about it, it’s that I couldn’t deliver lines like “He must not be replaced by an Otter” without collapsing in helpless laughter.
Do we think when she entered politics, Kemi saw herself signing off on lines like “He must not be replaced by an Otter”? Do we think that’s where she imagined she’d be in 10 years?
How this appeared on my feed 😂😂😂
Obligatory
I simply refuse to believe this isn’t a Chris Morris sketch:
To be fair, I'm not sure why that should be their responsibility. They just make cards with pictures of cars and things on them.

Who knows if ‘Roger Nicholls’ ever topped this achievement?
This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.
Again, do we think the words “personal friend of Peter Mandelson” might have been helpful to the public in working out what the 2018-19 choreographed media stunts and relentless screaming accusations were about; whether Sir Keir was on the level in 2020 or whether his project was good in 2024?
