Even in these times of rapidly shifting norms, there was something shocking about the recent Home Office change in internal guidance, slipped in without the need for legislative scrutiny, to deny British citizenship to anyone arriving in the UK “in an unauthorised manner”;
Denying refugees citizenship? How low can we go?
The Labour leadership can and must do better

I wonder how those 1,000 FBI agents tasked with reviewing and redacting the Epstein files feel now that they've been sucked into a criminal conspiracy to violate the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Now would be a really good time to lawyer-up and seek whistleblower protections. Just saying.

Do not forget—95 murders on the high seas so far.
That’s a lot of murder.

It is concerning to hear two Palestine Action hunger strikers have been taken to hospital.
The Government must intervene immediately to uphold their human rights and ensure they are treated with dignity.

This could’ve been avoided 30 years ago.
Maria Farmer’s 1996 FBI complaint has been unearthed in the Epstein files. It was the first time he was reported to the authorities. And they buried it.

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.
