Reform UK are learning the hard way that it's easy to shout insults at the players from the touchline. Far harder to get up on the pitch and play. They've been an absolute disaster wherever they are elected.

Leading human rights lawyer accuses government of ‘dismissive approach’ based on ‘ludicrous’ reasoning
One of the UK’s leading human rights lawyers has criticised the government’s refusal to engage with Palestine Action-affiliated prisoners who are on hunger strike as based on “ludicrous” reasoning.
In its strongest statement yet, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said that meeting with the hunger strikers risked creating “perverse incentives” but this was roundly rejected by Michael Mansfield KC, known for his work on landmark cases such as the Grenfell Tower fire, Stephen Lawrence and the Birmingham Six.

Tory governments spent £325m on free schools that failed or disappeared
More than £10bn was committed to building new schools between 2014-15 and 2023-24, compared with £6.8bn for rebuilding existing schools
Conservative governments spent £325m creating 67 free schools that subsequently failed or disappeared, many through lack of demand, according to data revealed by a freedom of information request.
The figures from the Department for Education (DfE) show that the government committed more than £10bn to building new schools between 2014-15 and 2023-24, compared with £6.8bn for rebuilding existing schools, which critics say left England with a backlog of crumbling and decaying buildings.
