Holding a view is protected. Using it to cause public harm is not. The difference between protected belief and protected behaviour is the whole point. And the social media posts make that difference very clear.

Sorry, Ladies. The Green Party don’t have to put up with your views.

The first step in the road to removal of all of our rights was Brexit. The next is the abolition of juries.

This is so important we must ALL do everything possible to prevent it, regardless of politics or anything else.

To think, Starmer used to be a #decent lawyer.

Scrapping jury trials is an affront to the very foundations of our democracy.

From the moment this government was elected, it has come after the civil liberties we all hold dear.

This is yet another outrageous assault on our fundamental freedoms. I will be voting against it.

From mandatory ID cards to arresting pensioners for holding up cardboard signs to cosy deals with US tech spy firms:

It's good to see lawyers pushing back on their increasingly authoritarian Govenrment.

We must protect jury trials.

“Almost the entire territory liberated”: Ukraine nears full clearance of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast – reversing Russia’s “buffer zone” Offensive on Oleksandrivsk axis recaptures more ground than Russia seized in February.

Ukraine has recaptured 400+ sq km on the Oleksandrivsk axis – more land than Russia seized across the entire front in February.

Only three small settlements in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast left to clear, reversing Moscow's push to carve out a "buffer zone."

When profit kills: How private equity is eroding health care Peer-reviewed studies link private equity takeovers to more deaths and medical complications in nearly every corner of healthcare.

Curse of Private Equity

US evidence shows:
When private equity incentives collide with clinical care, patients—especially those who are sicker, poorer, or harder to treat—are more likely to be killed or harmed.

Yet UK handing more of the NHS to PE, enabling it to make profits.

A reminder that Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and the entire Conservative-supporting press have spent the past week lambasting Keir Starmer for not joining the Iran war.

Here's what has happened since then to public opinion

The Justice Secretary - a former barrister - suggests that being wrongly accused of a crime and imprisoned for three years is just like “scraping your knee” in order to justify undermining and restricting a fundamental cornerstone of our democracy. The most absurd argument yet

A two-panel cartoon by Andy Singer, titled the environmental impacts of cartoon.

The first panel lists: animals killed by cars, urban and rural land destroyed by roads and parking, mining emissions, road salt, people killed and maimed, tailpipe emissions, particulates from tyres and brakes, manufacture and disposal impact of metals, solvents and plastics...

In the second panel a smug-looking man is telling a horrified woman "EVs eliminate tailpipe emissions"
