#ICE Agents Tear Down Cameras And Break Doors And Windows At Restaurant in Burbank

Only criminals would need to do this. They know they're breaking the law, and they're destroying anything that can give evidence.

#Nuremburg style trials can't come fast enough.

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.

As the US spirals out of control, let's be clear who the architects of this chaos are. A fossil fuel industry hell-bent on preserving its destructive business.

Yet in the UK, their lobbyists roam the palace of Westminster with privileged access to ministers. At what point will we say enough?

The campaign to lift the ban on Palestine Action makes the front page of the Telegraph.

Within the report, a retired Met officer says the system will be tested to the limit if thousands take part.

Behind every draconian decision, there's secret evidence ("detailed security assessments") we're not allowed to see. We should just suck it up and believe them.
Sorry, Yvette Cooper, that's not how democracy should work. When you make a decision of such consequence, we need to see the basis for it.

EU could earn โ‚ฌ1 trillion by fully taxing aviation, private jets included - Euractiv Scrapping exemptions for long-haul and private flights and taxing non-CO2 emissions could multiply EU aviation carbon revenues tenfold, a new report says

"The EU could boost its carbon pricing revenues from aviation by up to tenfold if it eliminates key exemptions and fully applies its emissions rules to the sector, according to a new study by Carbon Market Watch."

Videos of emaciated hostages condemned as Red Cross calls for access Hamas said it would allow Red Cross access if humanitarian aid corridors were opened into Gaza.

Uhhm....what about the thousands of emaciated Palestinians?

Do this idiots not understand that Israel is intentionally causing mass famine?

Do they seriously expect hostages to be well fed whan no-one else is?

England's water companies circumvent rules on exec pay.

Yorkshire Water boss was paid extra ยฃ1.3m via offshore parent firm.

To be clear, the orange felon fired the Head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hours after producing a truthful jobs report because he wants to hide how badly heโ€™s crashing the economy and heโ€™ll install one of his minions to produce fake numbers from now on. Fascism.

BMA in new row as thousands of junior doctors cannot get NHS jobs In a survey by the British Medical Association, 52 per cent of doctors who have completed foundation training say they do not have a job for August

6.23m patients await 7.36m hospital appointments in England; hard to see a GP, but junior doctors can't find a job.

30,000 doctors applied for 10,000 specialist training places.

Won't encourage people to incur debts to become doctors.

Privatisation of services wasting money.
