After experts find ‘no medical evidence’ of murder, will Lucy Letby get a retrial? Former nurse is serving 15 whole-life terms in prison yet an appeal is not guaranteed despite findings of expert panel

If Lucy Letby is innocent, and I believe she is, it's a disgrace that clunking legal procedures might keep her in prison for years.

Is there anyone else who can not stand seeing or listening to anything Donald Trump says?

76 dead in a ski resort. Greed, incompetence, and a complete disregard for the value of human life. The government dresses everything up with its religious right-wing rhetoric. Same shit!

With all the fuss about the Dylan biopic, thought I'd share this again!

Just watched The Zone of Interest. Thought it was brilliant! Best film I've seen for a good while.

Feel sorry for the victims of the fires in LA. Not sure, however, that they deserve the wall to wall coverage they are receiving on the BBC.

I'm not interested in Crypto, making friends with twenty-year-old Asian women, or seeing your sexy pics. However, I do like pics of cute dogs!

Elon Musk supporters are the worst people I have ever come across on social media!

BBC obsessing about LA fires. Nothing else going on in the world! It's tiresome.

Loved Lodge. Used to teach "Nice Work". You, of course, are also in the fine tradition of the postwar British comic novel. From What a Carve Up to Proof of Innocence.

Arteta is blaming Arsenal's defeat on the kind of ball they played with. It was the wrong kind, apparently. 😃 😀 😄 #nufc

And if you don't have the dosh? Just what? Accept your betters who you have all the advantages and doff your cap? Think we have enough social injustice in this country. Why not invest in education for those who have least access to it?

If I were Keir Starmer, I'd just abolish private schools. The whole lot of them.

They are claiming that Sadiq Khan doesn't deserve his gong when Toby "up the arse" Young has been made a Lord.
