BREAKING: The Home Office is giving police new powers to restrict repeat protests like pro-Palestine marches.

Police can consider the ‘cumulative impact’ of protests on an area and could ban the protest / force it to move elsewhere.

I’ve just added my voice to this consultation saying I don’t want a situation in which staff and fellow swimmers might scrutinise or judge my body, or anyone else’s, when I use the ponds. The current policy of trans inclusion works perfectly well. You can fill out the consultation linked below.

Those tedious and mysteriously funded transphobes want to limit access to the Ponds so I’ve had a pleasant 10 mins filling this out on why seeing a variety of women is magic and judging by what people look like or can do is very slippery territory hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.isn

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.

I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.

In this year's Children in custody report, many of the issues identified in our 2023-24 inspections remained.

Find out more about some of our key findings in the infographic below.

Read the report: hmiprisons.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmipris_repo...
Bar graphs that show how safety was still not good enough, how for some children, relationships with staff were poor, and how time out of cell varied across establishments.

Donut charts that show who the children in our survey are. 99% identified as male; 1 in 3 reported having a disability; including any physical, mental or learning needs that affected their day-to-day live; 2 in 5 were unsentenced or on remand and 10% reported having children of their own.

Donut charts that show some groups continue to be overrepresented: 33% were Muslim, 8% were from the Traveller community, 63% were from an ethnic group other than white, 46% had health problems (including mental health) and 65% reported having been in local authority care.

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

Barristers have a long, honourable tradition of working for free for those who cannot afford a lawyer.

People held in immigration detention do not get legal aid for their bail hearings. Many cannot afford a lawyer. @biddetention.bsky.social helps them for free.

BREAKING: More than a thousand people are risking 'terror' arrests in Parliament Square as resistance grows against complicity in genocide and the Palestine Action ban.

It is clear from this turnout that the public will not be intimidated.

“My trans friends have brought nothing but joy, kindness and light to my life. Hearing so many of their journeys of pain, fear, loss and exclusion to get to where they are now, their authentic selves, and seeing how happy, fulfilled and full of hope they now are brings me much joy and respect for them.”

HMYOI Feltham: violence declining but still the highest of any prison in the country.

Read the inspection report: hmiprisons.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk?post_type=hm...

And the press notice: hmiprisons.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/news/report-...

See the healthy prison scores:
Bar chart illustrating the healthy establishment outcome scores for HMYOI Feltham when it was inspected in 2024 and 2025. All scores had remained unchanged across the inspections; safety and purposeful activity were rated poor and care and resettlement were rated reasonably good.
