It will be legally difficult to go after Mone's personal assets, so she and husband will get off with damaged reputations, but little real punishment for their massive fraud

PPE firm linked to Michelle Mone wound up after being ordered to pay back £148m
The decision, made by a judge at a hearing on Thursday, could mean that the Government is unlikely to see most of the £148 million owed to it by the company.

Iranian director Jafar Panahi's latest film is a critique of Iran under the ayatollahs & their brutal police and intelligence officers, almost absurdly funny & a minimalist thriller. He won the Palme d'Or at Cannes this year, among a string of other awards.

🚨 Muslim Migrant Hero risked his life to disarm a gunman murdering people at Bondi Beach, and undoubtedly saved lives 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

A headline Far Right anti migrant, Islamophobe Racists will choke on so please repost to share 🙏🏼👍🏼
Ahmed al Ahmed, a Lebanese Muslim who owns a Sydney fruit shop, risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi Beach shooters.

His courage gives me hope amidst the horror and darkness. Muslims and Jews are not enemies. Our futures, in the Middle East and beyond, are intrinsically bound.

A true hero.

Such a shocking terror attack on the Australian Jewish community.

Thinking and praying for the families and friends mourning loved ones killed, and for the recovery of the injured.

New study from LSE, York & Glasgow universities shows the Scottish Child Payment is transforming lives.

Without it, 70,000 more children would face deprivation and food insecurity.

We will keep investing in families and lifting children out of poverty.
Scottish Child Payment | Food Insecurity | Deprivation
New analysis shows the Scottish child payment sharply reduces child deprivation and food insecurity, with no evidence of work disincentives. Discover the findings.

A Meeting By The River by Ry Cooder & V M Bhatti. A remarkable album, 2 virtuosos with deep appreciation for music from East & West. Bhatti plays Mohan Vīnā, an instrument he invented & the tracks were unrehearsed.
Thanks to @radiomukhers.bsky.social for the recommendation

A friend saw this on Twitter/X. When he shared it on his Facebook page, he commented, "But let’s not kid ourselves that this stuff is just many miles away. Hard hearted attitudes to speaking other languages in Glasgow and hotels in Falkirk may lead us here in the future 😢"

I enjoyed this. Ethan Hawke will be up for some acting awards for his portrayal of Lorenz Hart, songwriting partner of Richard Rogers. Blue Moon has Hart dealing with success of Oklahoma! written by Rogers and his new collaborator, Oscar Hammerstein.

Alan McDougall combines the emotional roller coaster that all fans experience with professional analysis you'd expect from a historian. As well as the highs of the great footballing triumphs, he writes about the tragedies at Heysel and Hillsborough & the enduring life of The Kop.
