Is Labour’s Courts & Tribunals (powers to abolish juries) Bill really to blame for Labour’s historic defeat in Gorton & Denton by-election?

What happened to an exit poll? Turned on BBC to see what the exit poll predicted. Zero. Zilch. Just a really boring reporter. Even the swingometer was more fun.

Exclude dog while you invite the cat to get the treats! TBF our cat treats flat scratching boards & those cardboard ones with total disdain (even when I’ve drenched them with catnip). Cats rule!

Ours skipped the sofas. Instead, goes for carpets. A cheaper option.

An example of the downside to tribunals or courts sitting with judges only? Blinkered thinking? Would the full industrial jury have helped? Times leader today thinks driver deserved a bonus, not the bullet

A Bully in the Playground The question of how to respond to a reckless regime at the head of a superpower highlights the character of international order and the necessity of virtue. Bullies lose friends and influence.

Isn’t it about time TV news programmes stopped reporting #Trump lies & included on air links to fact checks? Repetition of rubbish is just gaslighting & not news.

19th century! But doesn’t the implicit suggestion that he’s just out of time make light of his King Lear type madness?

What they are, yet I know not, but they shall be

I’ve clearly missed too many episodes ….

Wholly adrift from reality. A parody surely?

Cimino’s Heaven’s Gate at 5 hrs plus beats that. As well as being a far better movie. If thinking @ art movies, Warhol’s Empire State Building (8 hrs +) beats all. OK there must be longer ones out there. Or are you talking @ the experience of sitting through a film (time irrelevant)?

#Trump #NurembugTrials #internationalLaw Which country will host the post-Trump reckoning? I’m hoping Republicans will see the emperor has no clothes. He is just a Humpty Dumpty

My first thought was that’s the end of Ukraine. 2nd was a playbook for taking over Greenland, Canada. We seem to be right on midnight

The BBC Mastermind episode (2008/9) with David Lammy is not currently available. So you’ll just have to go to YouTube for reassurance that he is not clever enough to genuinely run the Trump playbook. May be an excuse for him but not for MOJ staff #JuryTrials #MisrepresentingStatistics

#BBCRadio4 #QuestionTime why on earth do you think having a GB News β€œjournalist” answering Qs might be a good idea? At least we have an off switch

#BBCRadio4Today #EmmaBarnett Astonishing lack of concern at the State keeping people imprisoned after they should’ve been released. That is symptomatic of the current Labour mindset of reversing the golden thread of justice: that people are innocent until proven guilty, the assumption of innocence

Is the Labour gov really repurposing arguments for the 2 child benefit cap to shore up its Swiftian β€˜solution’? #asylum #NoSafeSpaceHere

D1 was a dream on the RTW. D2 a nightmare - went on bottle strike & into day for night mode. Only took to the bottle (from anyone) when it no longer mattered! Hope you have the dream first. But D2 was otherwise so easy

It changes! Not easier but different. All you have to do is be good enough. And if you’re comfortable with something they can cope

May help explain his framing of disability benefits issues by dividing people into deserving (physical disabilities) and the rest. Divisive & unacceptable use of language. Time for disability awareness training. #NickRobinson #BBBRadio4Today

#LOFC League 1 #PlayOff finals vs Charlton. How can Wembley Stadium allow such dire food. Possibly the worst ever breakfast bap. Like going back in time
