Makes me feel a bit sick that Reeves said today she “won’t preside over a status quo that punishes children for the circumstances of their birth”, given she’s been perfectly happy to do just that since July 2024, and is only changing this now to try and save her own neck. Contemptible ghoul

Exclusive: Courts minister says change needed to stop criminals opting for juries to delay cases, sometimes by years, and clear huge backlog

UK politics live – latest updates
Criminals will be stopped from “gaming the system” by choosing trial by jury in order to increase the chances of proceedings collapsing, the courts minister has said, promising to enact radical changes to limit jury trials by the next election.
Drug dealers and career criminals were “laughing in the dock” knowing cases can take years to come to trial, Sarah Sackman told the Guardian, saying inaction would be a road to “chaos and ruin”. Continue reading...

Incredible really that people are being told a mere fortnight before the event that they have been picked to attend Your Party conference. Most people I know who have been selected cannot actually go, because it turns out train tickets & two weekend-nights in a hotel is prohibitively expensive

I think the government should tax me more, but only after the super-rich pay their fair share
I’m not saying I won’t moan about it when the time comes to pay, but I think the Govt should raise my income tax because I am profoundly worried about the state of public services.

This is very funny - but I am particular struck by this bit from an unnamed No 10 source which confirms that standing up to Reform and actually doing the things people voted for is only necessary to stay in power, rather than because it’s the right thing to do.

They can and should simply give it to me because I will spend/donate £600K far more usefully than they will
Your Party appears to have ended up with ~£600,000 of cursed money that neither Your Party plc nor MoU (the company which is now just Zarah Sultana and actually holds most of the party's finances) want to be landed with

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

#OtD 10 Nov 2010 50k students and supporters marched in London against the tripling of university fees and the abolition of EMA grants. Breaking away from the official demo, 1000s of people occupied and trashed the governing Tory HQ at Millbank stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8238...

I’d rather be let down by the Green Party actually *trying* to make our lives better because at least you could say they’ll have a go. We’ve been let down by Labour deliberately & intentionally making life in Britain harder & making crap excuses for punitive political choices
