This wasn't just someone who'd tweeted something distasteful on Twitter years before. It was a committed extremist who'd rightly ended up in prison. I'm all for reform, but those seeking it from such a sociopathic past must expect their actions to constrain future choices. That's all part of it.

Once again, I come back to the fact these guys have created a situation where one of the UK's leading, cis female athletes is scared to go to the loo alone, and the fact that they are celebrating this as a step forward for women's rights.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

The Tory "plan" to send prisoners to foreign jails isn't getting enough scrutiny. What is the legal basis for banishing British citizens to Albania? Whose laws are they subject to? How many prison staff have to go over? Are family visits just abolished? How many prisoners are we talking about?

A side note to this insanity. There's a clear pattern from Badenoch of demeaning local public service, diminishing their contributions to society - hence why she thinks 'nice Lib Dems fix church roofs' is such a derogatory statement. It's going to become a lot more jarring with talk of devolution.

This is *such* a revealing line about Kemi's world view and contempt for those who do the day to day work of keeping our society functioning

Genuinely one of the most proundly stupid things I've ever heard a party leader say, in so very many ways. If nothing else, it's *wildly* insulting to Conservative councillors across the country.

Many EU leaders are collapsing under a moment’s pressure on Ceuta but the hypocrisy of Meloni is particularly sickening. All those demands that Europe help Italy out on Lampedusa, and no-one asked for Italy to be excluded from Schengen. But as soon as a Social Democrat faces problems….
