BREAKING: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche just admitted the DOJ excluded images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from today’s Epstein files release. Let that sink in. The government is acknowledging graphic evidence exists and chose to withhold it, while

Støre, Norway PM: I looked Trump in the eyes and said, 100 km from my border is the world’s largest nuclear arsenal. It is not directed against me, but against you. We monitor those submarines and share it with you. It is plain wrong, to say NATO gives nothing in return. 1/

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While his client, Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

Post-Brexit sales of British farm products to EU fall by 37%. Brexit has brought no benefits and left the UK exposed in the era of tariffs and trade wars. Farage and Tories lied about Brexit. Govt can get economic growth by rejoining the EU. theguardian.com/environment/20…

UK and US sink to new lows in global index of corruption. The Index is flawed but tells a story. Political parties, legislators available for hire, crony contracts, VIP lanes. UK more corrupt than Estonia, Hong Kong, Uruguay, Ireland. No relief in sight theguardian.com/world/2026/feb…

Nico O'Reilly outmuscling two of the most energetic/high activity midfielders in the game (Szoboszlai & Valverde) in two of the most hostile stadiums in world football isn't talked about enough.

A hat-trick of KDB assists 😮‍💨👑 Eight years ago today ⏪

The tragedy of this is that it’s totally unnecessary - I think it’s a result of hasty (to put it politely) decision making at a level below ministers, and therefore will be fixable. But if it’s not fixed quickly the impact will be severe and there will be unpredictable

On BBC Newsnight Gillian Tett references Anthony Trollope, as I often do. His book 'The Way We Live' - about Victorian greed, corruption, and moral decay, particularly in finance, politics, and aristocracy has so many echoes today. His famous quote is a prescient warning: "a

Hello exclusively to David Lammy! 👋 SIXTY FIVE courtrooms sit empty today. Empty. 80,000 cases in the queue. Shall we open, staff and fund them? Instead of restricting jury trial for thousands of voters? Hold rape trials in them? And if not, why not?

Be brave, guys. This is it. Politics. This is what you wanted. Here you are. And here it is. An issue. That matters. And your chance - to do the right thing. If any Labour MP wants to talk about how we really shorten the backlog & how we really help victims - I’ll talk to you.

"Channel 4’s Dirty Business is a clarion call to nationalise the water industry." And that is the bit that terrorises government, the ostrich like refusal to deal with reality, the abused victim, Stockholm syndrome like obsession with not doing anything that might upset the bond

Meanwhile it's business as usual for the filthy business that is the water industry. Yesterday Yorkshire water was fined £733,000 for illegally dumping sewage that the 92nd time the company has been found guilty. Will any executive go to jail, will any executive even be

Lots of this is good and overdue. Well done. But abolishing trial by jury for thousands of citizens on the basis of no evidence, with no consultation and no explanation that stands up to scrutiny? Not good. Devastatingly, dangerously foolish, in fact.

That was a foul on Bernardo. The assistant has no shame.

“We have a strategic plan at the Premier League to put a new name on the trophy every six years”

Exhibit 574 of cheating... 🤨

Let there be no doubt: the Criminal Bar Association will oppose to the government's plan to curtail existing rights to trial by jury. This is the CBA's response to the Courts and Tribunals Bill 2026. The proposal for Judge-only trials has been mis-sold on the false promise of
