• Tories have announced that the next Prime Minister will be selected by an online ballot of Tory members only. • Your reminder that Tories made it illegal for workers to hold strike ballots online. Must be done by post only.

In the news today: the police are to be given new powers to stop protests before they even start, but couldn't stop a serial rapist nicknamed "The Bastard" until they'd been working with him for 20 years.

A reminder to journalists: (short🧵) UK Government’s use of a s.35 order to block the Scottish Gender Recognition bill isn’t about policy – or shouldn’t be. Like many ministerial decisions, this isn't subject to appeal but is liable to judicial review by the courts. /1

YN TORRI: Mae'r cynllun i symud 180 miliwn litr o ddŵr Cymru o Bowys i dde Lloegr yn mynd yn ei flaen. Dim ond oddeutu £5m bydd Cymru yn ei gael am y cynllun tra ein bod yn talu biliau dŵr sydd gyda'r drytaf yn y DU. Mynnwn reolaeth lwyr dros ein dŵr er budd ein cymunedau.

MPs have just completed 30 minutes of questions to @UKGovWales in UK House of Commons - lots of exchanges on devolved issues, one question on the coronation, not a single mention of events in Ely.

My opinion piece in today's Guardian. Thank you to everyone for your continued support. I’m an immigration lawyer, and now the target of a Braverman smear campaign. It will backfire | Jacqueline McKenzie theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Right time for a good old fashioned fact check about this £1,600 to illegal immigrants claim. As always, this takes some unpacking but it is well worth it because some of our politicians are making claims with are demonstrably false. [Thread]

#OTD 1967. Protests as Barbara Castle unveils plans for the Road Safety Act - which includes a ban on drink driving. She says “We know these are tough measures - but we are dealing with a tough problem”. In response a campaign begins that states “the bag must go”.

Just off for a hearing in a rape case. Allegation reported in 2021, trial not before 2025, if we’re all lucky. No podium speeches from the Prime Minister about this. No promises to magic up more judges, courts or lawyers. Just silence, and the threat of further cuts to come.
