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.

Building materials.

Just a quick reminder. The second world war was STARTED by Russia who, allied with the Nazis, invaded Poland.

Then the US had to bail them out with lend lease so they could push back against Nazis after being betrayed.

Russia is a terrorist state

Done 👍

BBC News, "The BBC World Service has compiled material on over 160 cases where children have been shot in Gaza and found that in 95 cases the child was shot in the head or the chest"

"In most these cases, the victim was under 12 years old"

Every day @stephenking.bsky.social proves he is a really good writer.

Donald Trump’s war on climate science has staggering implications Even a policy of “drill, baby, drill” would imply more climate research, not its evisceration, says Ralph Keeling

⛈️ "Global economic losses from weather-related extreme events are estimated at over $220bn a year."

⬇️ "Declines in labour productivity due to exposure to extreme heat are reckoned to cost over $830bn a year. The consequences will grow only more severe."

As in Germany!

How a false solution to climate change is damaging the natural world | George Monbiot George Monbiot: In growing maize for biogas, the crop that does most damage to the soil is being specifically exempted from the rules

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social’s warning about maize, also used for biogas.

We seriously didn’t encounter a single insect in 170km of cycling through rural Brittany, heavily focused on maize.

Deeply worrying.

Only on day 3 as we rode on disused railways, spared from Roundup™️, did we spot a few.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

This has been talked about for decades. I'll believe it when I see it.

Moron.

The BBC are now the personal PR machine of the fascists at Reform. They're following the decade old strategy of flooding the newsrooms with shit, and the BBC is dutifully reporting every stinking press-release they churn out as if it's the word of god. We're drowning in a deluge of client journalism

“Both of them.”

If the BBC was doing its job, it would note in its coverage of Reform that 92% of the party's donations come from the fossil fuel industry.

Unbelievably stupid.

Dead from the neck up.

He fired her because her numbers were right.

Erika has had a distinguished public service career, serving with excellence and integrity. My many thanks to her.

He’s building his palace. Fulfilling his emperor dream.

President Trump called into question the integrity of the Employment Situation report that the BLS released this morning. He accused BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer of deliberately reporting false numbers to reflect poorly on this administration. This baseless, damaging claim undermines the valuable work and dedication of BLS staff who produce the reports each month. This escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence and integrity of the federal statistical system. The President seeks to blame someone for unwelcome economic news. The Commissioner does not determine what the numbers are but simply reports on what the data show. The process of obtaining the numbers is decentralized by design to avoid opportunities for interference. The BLS uses the same proven, transparent, reliable process to produce estimates every month. Every month, BLS revises the prior two months’ employment estimates to reflect slower-arriving, more-accurate information. This rationale for firing Dr. McEntarfer is without merit and undermines the credibility of federal economic statistics that are a cornerstone of intelligent economic decision-making by businesses, families, and policymakers. U.S. official statistics are the gold standard globally. When leaders of other nations have politicized economic data, it has destroyed public trust in all official statistics and in government science. We call on Congress to respond immediately, to investigate the factors that led to Commissioner McEntarfer’s removal, to strongly urge the Commissioner’s continued service, and ensure that the nonpartisan integrity of the position is retained. The statement from the President undermines these tenets and politicizes data which cannot and should not be used for political points.

"...escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence & integrity of the federal statistical system.

"The president seeks to blame someone for unwelcome economic news.

"...firing Dr. McEntarfer is without merit & undermines the credibility of federal economic statistics..."

Happy Friday to everyone who might be concerned that he has possession of the nuclear codes, blames the messenger for tanking the economy & would gladly pardon a monster to save his own thin orange skin.

Truly pathetic. Zero integrity.
