If you’re wondering what the next big legal scandal might be … the Single Justice Procedure—a one-magistrate hearing designed to fast-track cases to clear the backlog—is producing alarming stories from elderly, learning-disabled and other vulnerable defendants.

A woman from County Durham with learning difficulties and depression.
Prosecuted & convicted last week in the Single Justice Procedure for not paying her TV Licence.
She's a constituent of Conservative Party chairman @RicHolden
This is the letter she sent to the court.

My close (non Jewish) friend got a call asking if the directors of her company were Jews. Baffled, ‘Yes.’ Reply: ‘I wont use your business.’ ‘Why?’ Reply: ‘Have you seen what’s happening in Gaza?’ If you think this is ok you don’t stand for anything good. You just hate Jews.

I spoke Israelis whose loved ones were killed or taken hostage by Hamas militants: despite unimaginable grief, they're calling for an end to bloodshed, for the protection of Gaza civilians, for Gaza not to be destroyed. Brave voices in the bleakest moment independent.co.uk/news/world…

I would also add that October 7th was as clear cut an act of genocide as any crime against humanity I have covered in my 14 year career as a war journalist and it is incredibly alarming how few human rights advocates have been able to clearly express this. x.com/YairWallach/status/171…

...so the simple fact that it's coming in below expectations is a big deal. It may also signify interest rates are slowing the economy more rapidly. So the BoE may reconsider the pace of hikes.
Also some rough & ready measures of real wages are no longer in negative territory 👇
19 Jul 2023
To give you the specifics on that good news on real wages - they grew by 0.7% in year to June based on HMRC's single month RTI earnings data from last week and today's inflation update

🚨NEW🚨
UK annual CPI inflation rate DROPS from 8.7% in May to 7.9% in June. Economists had expected 8.2%.
Will be a BIG relief for policymakers. First time it's been below expectations for ages.
Core CPI inflation also falls to 6.9%. Was 7.1% in May.
