The jail poor people for defrauding £100 of benefits.
Johnson presided over by £10,900,000,000 of fraud.
WHY IS HE NOT IN JAIL?

Firstly: why are the Home Office still posting on X? Secondly: So carers, restaurant staff, taxi drivers etc are not worthy enough? This message is straight from the fascist playbook.

Is he going to fix prisons failing to get prisoners to court, court buildings falling apart, lack of court & CPS staff? Nah, thought not.
"A woman should not be waiting three or four years for a rape case to come to trial," says David Lammy of his reforms to the criminal justice system.
"It is unacceptable that 60% are dropping out and we can do something about it"

I too hate when people put Covid in the past tense. It isn't over and we are all still at risk despite governments (UK especially) trying to say otherwise by narrowing the eligibility for vaccines. I'm flying home from holiday today, I expect I'll be the only one wearing a mask. #CovidIsNotOver
I’m grateful to see this making the rounds in chronic illness communities, but I would very much like to see this out in the wider world where it’s needed far more urgently.
The message that many of us, ill or otherwise, long to be seen & acknowledged is timely.

If community-building is a bulwark against autocracy, then asking after one another might be a good place to start.

I signed the petition so got the usual mealy-mouthed response. Yet more lies.
Of course, the Government's response to my petition asking for a full transparency review of UK free zones was always going to be one of immense gaslighting.

see @barristersecret.bsky.social for reasons why we have such a backlog. Lammy is clueless.
Jury trials in England & Wales for crimes that carry a likely sentence of less than 3 years will be scrapped.
Bad move
Money may be saved but justice and trust in the system will be the biggest casualty.
Poor and minorities at the mercy of toff judges.

There isn't justice for Hillsborough.
There wasn't justice for Bloody Sunday.
There won't be justice for Grenfell or for Postmasters.
The Infected Blood Scandal is paying out after most of the victims are dead.
There will never be justice until the people are actually in charge.

Hope your head is better now John. What an absolute banger of an album, it's fitting that I saw this on what would have been Ozzy's 77th birthday.

Lammy does not have a clue and we will all pay a high price for his ignorance. To think that Starmer used to be a human rights QC.
Eliminating Jury trials seems heavy handed and wrong to me. They are the corner stone of our justice system. It’s like chopping off your foot because of an ingrowing toe nail. Mind you we already shot ourselves in the other foot with Brexit so what do I know 🤷♂️

Yes, all of this is true.
Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

OBR commentary on the budget:
"The implementation of digital ID cards is provisionally forecast to cost £1.8 billion in total over the next three years".
Govt says the cost will be met from existing departmental budgets.
Which services will be cut? Will the budget overrun?
