Since Suella Braverman MP is in favour of banning peaceful protests in the UK I'm sure she will be in agreement with the Mayor of Brussels deciding to do the same in Belgium.

Whatever your thoughts about a Mayor in the Brussels region shutting down an event full of far right goons, itโ€™s important to remember that Suella Braverman, who was there, is a massive fan of banning peaceful gatherings.

There will be people complaining that @bbcr4today has given a six minute slot to people who are allowed to express opinions to lay into Liz Truss.

I think it is spot on that doesn't cover issues around poverty or food banks as 'news' because those things don't affect friends of editors and presenters of this show-The people in the country who really matter. BBC Radio 4 Today

Of course continues to ignore poverty and food banks-With the now apparently mandatory piece on dance/theatre/films/music in the headlines. The 'Robbie Gibb Effect' continues to reduce this show to a Tory talking shop.

On the 35th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, Keir Starmer committing again to 'Hillsborough Law'.

Police and public authorities would have a legally-mandated duty of candour, and bereaved families would have equal funding for legal representation - vitally needed.

Anthony is spot on. It's difficult to describe to many of today's generation of fans the conditions of grounds and the appalling conduct of some of the police in the 70s and 80s.

The cause of the Hillsborough Disaster was apparent on the day it happened but dishonesty and the links between the right-wing press and the Tory establishment made sure that justice was never done. Still Rishi Sunak denies others with his opposition to the Hillsborough Law.

Yes United Utilities paid ยฃ452,00,000 in dividends to shareholders in 2023 and yet they are still trying to fill lake Windermere with sewage.

I worked in science my whole career and was often challenged on my work-But I never reacted with anger in the way Laura Kuenssberg did when someone dared to question her coverage of the story around Ms Rayner. Pathetic and petulant.

35 years since the Hillsborough Disaster-The past can't be changed but Rishi Sunak (and others) had the chance to change things for the better for others by backing the Hillsborough Law. He and they failed to stand up for what is right.

The anger from Laura Kuenssberg regarding being challenged about her coverage of the trivia around Ms Rayner was illuminating. We all get things wrong but to even suggest such a thing on is apparently unforgivable.
