- If the cases will die with him, I can understand why those tasked with handling a dementia patient would enable him to embark on frivolous and unwinnable libel suits.

- Here comes The Mirror, determined to keep its establishment role as "one of the awkward ones, that we tolerate". Not quite the court jester role of Private Eye, but still an important one to pretend that it's not all a stitch-up.
- Nothing says "open letter, in good faith" like disabling both replies and quotes. If you're bothered to actually find the letter and read it, you'll see how desperate they are, how they know their remaining vote is evaporating. join.greenparty.org.uk
- Of COURSE he never heard about the Streisand Effect!!

- Genius! Blackmail countries which have significant human rights concerns to take back people who often should not be being sent back and then celebrate it by threatening more countries with similar blackmail. Labour really is digging down with its xenophobic policies. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

- Reposted by Owain SuttonLabour is briefing that they know they won't win the Gorton and Denton by election. The Greens are favourites and are the only party that can stop Reform. Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

- Reposted by Owain SuttonJustin Webb just introduced an item on BBC R4 by talking of campaigners in Scotland litigating to "keep biological males" out of women's prisons.

- Reposted by Owain SuttonThis is not far off the images and language which we have seen from ICE in US. It's directly aimed at using people's suffering to dehumanise them. The imagery is tested, and shown, to portray those seeking asylum as "criminals", rather than needing safety. This is how Trump works, how ICE works.
