The only other time I've seen so many people talking about a queue, was the queue to pay respect to the late Queen Elizabeth. #Oasis

There will most likely be a general election at some point in 2024, but we don’t know exactly when. So, why not? Sky's political correspondent @serenabarksing explains👇 UK politics: trib.al/JsNACxN

Heartbreaking realisation I lost two little ones, but finally have some closure in a way and an acknowledgement they existed. I will never give up my fight to raise awareness of baby loss and help others realise they aren't alone. Won't let their memory go unforgotten 💔

#PostOfficeScandal Latest piece in @ComputerWeekly by @Karlfl👉computerweekly.com/news/3665… A leading KC @edwardhenry1 who represents a number of victims in the scandal including @CastletonLee said he believes a number of @PostOffice investigations employees together conspired to pervert the course of justice by distorting and concealing evidence relevant to the claim being brought by the Post Office against Mr Castleton. He named the individuals as Keith Baines, Mandy Talbot, Tony Utting, Graham Ward, Rod Ismay and others. Henry also wrote that former Fujitsu tech expert Anne Chambers committed perjury when testifying in the court case, by “agreeing not to mention the Known Error Log, and obscuring the potential for there to have been errors in [Castleton’s branch] accounts”. Chambers is currently under investigation, for potential perjury, by the Metropolitan Police, along with former Fujitsu tech boss Gareth Jenkins. #MrBatesVsThePostOffice #MrBates #MrBatesVsPostOffice

Behind a paywall, but an excellent endorsement of community media & Siren Radio as part of the armoury against 'the first influencer General Election'. Bravo 'Save Our Siren' activists -you're being heard. @unilincoln please don't hand back that licence! telegraph.co.uk/columnists/2…

So happy I've been able to share awareness of baby loss again! These certificates are fantastic for providing families with closure and a physical acknowledgement of their lost little ones. Miscarriage affects so many, its important parents have a way to grieve.

Today, the government launches a new voluntary baby loss certificate scheme for families who’ve lost a baby before 24 weeks. Parents will be able to access on the govt website from 9am. We'll share an update, with FAQs, when it goes live. Learn more: bit.ly/4bIkgzf

This is frankly disgusting. As someone with a chronic illness and with friends who have disabilities and are chronically ill... this is wrong. People with disabilities don't work because they can't be bothered. They can't work because they aren't well!

Let's talk about duty. Disabled people do not have a duty to work unsuitable jobs. Let's get that clear. The government *does* have a duty to not dehumanise the million disabled people who want to work but are denied the chance. It’s a duty the government is failing on 🧵 1/7

How about rent controls and councils are given funding to buy out any landlord at current market rates and place their property in the social housing list if they want out. Either that or mass social home building. bbc.co.uk/news/business-6617…

This may sound trite, but re the BBC issue - one thing I have learned as a lawyer involved in many cases of messy human situations is that you rarely know and can pretty much never predict what is happening until you actually *know*, i.e. you see detailed accounts from the individuals involved and documentary evidence. And in pretty much 100% of situations, the truth is unexpected, often stranger than you anticipated - and invariably exposes the expectations you have (without realising it) wrongly placed onto the situation, sometimes based on your own prejudices. Also, family situations can be so complex and difficult. So, whilst it is important that the BBC are held up to scrutiny, there is clearly at least one potentially very vulnerable individual involved, and a large dollop of social media/press-driven 'we must know NOW and SOMEBODY must be to BLAME', and the truth will probably end up being more complicated and difficult than people want it to be.
