Overcrowding on delayed 0730 from Haddenham to London Marylebone. 5 carriages instead of 8. Standing room only since Banbury. Packed in like cattle and paying the best part of £50 RTN for the privilege! Compensation & improvement needed Chiltern Railways Paging Greg Smith MP

I met with UNFPA London Representative @MonicaPFerro to find out exactly what is in the dignity kits we’re sending to Gaza to help vulnerable women and girls.

Cattle class on Chiltern Railways again with carriages missing for the main commuter train. Greg Smith MP you promised voters you’d get a grip of this. Currently serving as a great advert for nationalisation.

We stand ready to combat any criminality which arises from public disorder, and we will have an additional 70 experienced lawyers supporting police out-of-hours with charging advice this weekend to help maintain public safety.

I utterly condemn the far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend. Be in no doubt: those who have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law.

The Director of Public Prosecutions has directed CPS lawyers to make immediate charging decisions where evidence is in place and this is happening. We have deployed extra lawyers and are working around the clock to ensure law and order is maintained, and justice is served.

“The internet cannot be a haven for those looking to sow division in our communities.” 🗣️Read the statement from Technology Secretary Peter Kyle below:

Put simply: If you engage in violent protests, you will face the full force of the law.

This disorder has had a terrible impact of on communities: people barricaded in properties, businesses destroyed and police officers facing violence while trying to keep people safe. The work of the criminal justice system will continue in overdrive over the coming days.

Today, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Stephen Parkinson, spoke to @bbcnews and ITV News to explain how the CPS is working alongside criminal justice partners to quickly bring people to justice following the ongoing violent disorder.

Our teams continue to work around the clock, along with the police, to charge people as quickly as possible and ensure justice is served, following recent public disorder. As of today, we have charged 159 people. See below for real-time updates today ⬇️
