This is not a surprise if they are released without support, which I am guessing is the case. These people need a lot of help to get back into society properly. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Prisoners freed early are returning to jail at rapid rate, governors tell BBC

PM Andy Burnham on Sunday announced changes to the next early release scheme - scheduled to start in October - which mean PC Harper's killers will stay in jail.

I’ve been wondering this. Sadiq Khan gets massive grief about ‘lawless London’ even though its crime rate is relatively low. Middlesbrough has the highest crime rate in the UK but nobody points the finger at Ben Houchen.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social why is Lord Ben Houchen, Metro Mayor of Tees Valley, not being asked about the ongoing problems in his area? www.private-eye.co.uk/in-the-back

Just stop this madness someone. The benefits will be easy to prove quickly if a deal can be done (which the EU are indicating it can be).

They told us Brexit would save lots of money (that would all go to the NHS). In fact it’s costing us a fortune (and constraining our ability to fund everything).

“When the Brexit referendum happened, I didn’t believe any UK government would seek the deal we ended up with; I couldn’t imagine a govt would inflict this on its own nation” … or, worse, that they’d keep on inflicting it. FFS, just stop this Brexit madness. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Brexit has taken up so much time, energy and resource to achieve the square root of fuck all. And now we’re trapped by it because no one has the guts to say how shit it is and how we need to get over ourselves and engage effectively with the EU again. It’s unforgivably tedious.

Good point - Sitwell really is supid - lazy too not to have that basic fact at his fingertips. Plus, so much for the privileged and entitled Eton educated Sitwell's love of free markets. He obv means free markets of which he approves.

Land Rover is owned by Indian Company Tata Motors. It is not British.

Is this progress? Processing claims more quickly (or at all) - yes. But, given Farage has no intention of giving up his racist, anti-immigration bid for power, isn’t this just fuelling the obsession without being honest about the costs - human and economic? www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/latest-...

Nightmare for Reform as latest migration figures show progress Labour is making

The latest migration figures from the Home Office have shown Labour are continuing to make progress in a number of areas.

Jeffrey Epstein’s unhinged best friend, Donald Trump, keeps posting AI slop while simultaneously losing a war with Iran and a trade war with Canada.

Some of London’s detractors are determined to paint a picture of a city becoming less safe. The facts tell a different story. These crimes are down ⬇️

🤔Could the £250k of public money spent on the Clacton by-election be put to better use? If you agree Reform UK should match that amount with a £250k donation to NHS charities, sign the petition now 🏥👇 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

The village gave the scarecrows their annual day out. Mr Lumpy, Chinwag & Little Billy were all allowed to shout at nobody in particular in the big city. They had a wonderful time! When they got back home they were put back in the fields with a glass of milk & some warm turnip.👨‍🌾

Excellent work @libdems.org.uk So ele-excited to see politicians really beginning to talk more about the damage Brexit has caused. 👏 #BrexitTheElephant.

Wera Hobhouse MP@werahobhouse.org.uk · last yr.

I'm proud that myself and over 40 @libdems.org.uk MPs have written to the Government to urge them to remove the unfair 90-day limit for UK nationals visiting Europe. This important step will protect our invaluable UK artists, drivers & tourists who need fair, reciprocal travel arrangements to work👇

I heard a very loud popping noise earlier. Turns out it's nothing to worry about, just the Reform UK Ltd bubble bursting.

🚨 DEAR ALL - we have just launched our crowdfunder for getting PRINT COPIES of our gazette on the Al-Fayed trafficking network to MPs. Please please do share everywhere - and chip in a little if you can:

Where is justice? Survivors voices in parliament

Put survivors’ testimony about Mohamed Al-Fayed in front of MPs – securing an inquiry, breaking down barriers and holding power to account.

It's been noticable how Farage and his gang of grifting gimps aren't taking advantage of the BBC's open invitation for them to deliver a party political speech on every programme of late. Something to do with avoiding scrutiny for all the dodgy financial transactions perchance?

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

Nahel Belgherze@wxnb.bsky.social · 4d ago

An incredibly well-timed Landsat 9 pass captured the effects of yesterday’s catastrophic glacier collapse near the Nepal–Tibet border. The event was so massive that it was detected by seismometers around the world.

In the search for the elusive Brexshit "benefits" has anyone thought of checking Fromage's bank accounts? Because I'm prepared to bet that's probably the only place they can be hiding.

Private Eye on Farage

Yup another 3 years of decline, in other words. And we all know who that benefits 🙄 Why are we blessed with such cowardly/inept politicians? #Rejoin its crass not to.

Might have to print a bunch of these out... definitely a stress reliever.

Dolly Parton was amazing in so many things she did in her life, but one of the things I find constantly fascinating is how the hell she played guitar so well with those nails?

Tim Curry left us at 80 as well as Dolly. These things always come in threes. Can anyone suggest another 80-year old for whom a visit from the Grim Reaper would be welcomed by the whole World rather than just leaving us feeling sad?

I'm missing the heatwaves. It's been over a week now!
