There are few things more frustrating than the correctness of your case being acknowledged by an offer of settlement, but being forced to accept and not put the point before a court, because of the threat of costs going against you

More water bills rises announced today, on top of those already planned.

Privatisation without competition, arguably the worst of both worlds

I’d love @ledbydonkeys.org to do a version of this about the English feudal system, which gave us austerity, and it’s bastard child, Brexit

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

A British academic is tracking the Dictator in the WH’s authoritarian acts since taking office in Jan.

It tracks illegalities, unconst’l acts, abuses of power - anything undermining democracy & propping up authoritarianism.

Tally is at 1466 authoritarian acts.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
