Please listen When you can’t find justice all you have is your story

Have just listened to scary John McDonnel on BBC Radio 4 Today. I share Ipswich voters scepticism about his policies, but he’s a REAL politician, confident, lucid & fast-on-feet. So unlike most of the stuffed shirts we have to endure in this election.

BBC Radio 4 Today please correct justin webb saying it’s a different standard of proof in a criminal trial and an inquest. It’s not. An unlawful killing verdict in an inquest is on the criminal standard: beyond reasonable doubt.

My dad made it out of pen 3. I never found out how. A police officer saw him raising his arm so he went over to him. Slapped my dad's face, he opened his eyes and vomited. The police officer took him to the gym, where he believed my dad would get help......

Every Matt Hancock video in 1 minute.

The courage of those members of the public who took the suspect down, when it appeared he was wearing a suicide vest, is remarkable.

If the footage is anything to go by, heroes is the word.

Hillsborough took my dad away from me like he was nothing and nobody, but he was everything to me. Rest now Dad. I can't change the verdict but I promise I will continue to make sure that the world knows what they did to you for as long as I live.

This is as depressing as it is worrying

Jo Maugham Marina Hyde "Unfortunately, he’s pulling out of climate debates and BBC interviews, as opposed to single mothers. Still, baby steps. And he’s certainly missed a few of those." Ouch :D

🛑Usman Khan was released under a sentencing regime which no longer exists 🛑Johnson’s manifesto says not a single word about current Extended Sentences. 🛑The minor changes he has proposed to automatic release would not have applied to Khan. Exploitative, dishonest, cynical.

I know it's very confusing, and it's very easy to get sentencing law wrong because it's always changing .... But @patel4witham & Yvette Cooper if you're each going to make political points out of Usman Khan's sentence, make sure you get the law right.

Horrible thought: 1. Secret Barrister writes amazingly clear explanation 2. Johnson gives same explanation 3. Johnson maintains he hasn’t copied SB 4. No evidence of mad telepathic link between BJ and SB 5. BJ IS THE SECRET BARRISTER 😳😩😳😭🤔

Hi, this is Nigel’s son tweeting. I am very sad to announce that my Dad passed away on Saturday night, surrounded by family, after a mercifully short battle with cancer. I know he thoroughly enjoyed every pointless argument he ever had on here, so thank you all for that xxx
