Just out of interest for all the folk that think the UK is such a safe ship and not at all like the Titanic:

Also (I’m 76) there were no private pensions till I was in my late 40s, just state and occupational, so many current pensioners on partial old state pensions for the reasons you gave couldn’t make alternative plans as they didn’t exist yet.

I have taken the unusual step of writing to the @SP_Justice ahead of its meeting on Wednesday. The issues before it are simply too important to ignore and risk embedding fundamental unfairness, opacity, and exorbitant costs into police misconduct proceedings.

The incomparable @glennagoldis is back, being as polite as she can about mince-brained legal thinking.

Heathrow World Championships. I won 6-3 Saturday & Sunday & have moved into the quarter finals of the Ladies World Championships singles. There's absolutely no feeling like wearing an England Shirt. Feeling so proud. My son is also into the under 15s doubles semi final ❤️ 💙

This has been going on for years. Let us not forget Sonia Appleby, (also a safeguarding lead) at the Tavistock raising extremely similar problems years ago.
‘For Cass, the scandal that has unfolded in Brighton “dwarfs” that of the Tavistock’s Gids. She called on the GMC to immediately suspend Hall. “I really would want to ask why he still has a licence to practise.”’

Journalists (notably @hannahsbee and @nickwallis) have done a fantastic job of reporting on this case.

Open justice is a fundamental feature of any properly-functioning legal system. If justice can't be seen to be done, there's no reason to trust that it is being done.

The world No. 1 in women's tennis, Aryna Sabalenka, unleashes a devastating and unfiltered statement: "It's vital to protect fairness. Biologically, men are much stronger than women. It's not fair. It's not equality. It's not women's sports if we let biological men compete against us." She sides with Sophie Cunningham and sends a clear message: women are not going to keep staying silent while they steal our titles, podiums, and opportunities from us.

Lula's win in Brazil has enormous implications for Latin America and the world! His defeat of Flávio Bolsonaro comes despite a fierce campaign by Brazil’s rightwing and the US. The Brazilian people have opted for national sovereignty! Go Lula.

Everyone needs to know what actually happened in Serbia.
Instead of students just protest against their government, the students organized themselves into a student list and ran in elections against their government—and they have just won.
Dear Serbia, congratulations on your victory; you have just opened a new door in protesting. This is history

Good news for climate believers:
Lula’s victory means continuity of enforcement, monitoring, and the goal of zero deforestation by 2030.
From 2022 (Bolsonaro era peak) to the latest data, Amazon forest loss dropped sharply. That’s fewer emissions, more rainfall cycling, and a stronger carbon sink for all of us.

You can't plant your way out of deforestation.
You have to STOP cutting.

For Africa, climate change is not about the future. It's about now. Our crops failing, our lakes shrinking, our people displaced — while boardrooms thousands of miles away count record profits. We don't have a climate problem. We have a justice problem. #ClimateJustice

This is a very important case
