What's happening in London? Being kept on the tarmac in a plane in Spain for over an hour now, and told it may be another 2 before we even take off! Only news is no London inbound traffic being allowed to take off.

I mean, people of colour literally have lots of ‘legitimate concerns’ about racist violence at the moment. But the phrase wouldn’t feature in coverage if any of them decided to attack random white people in response to it.

Dear BBC journalists, you really do not have to 'debate' every far-right talking point that pops up on your X feed. It is not "deeply contentious" to suggest non-white people can't be English. It's racist. The word you're looking for is racist

This is a pattern. The administration withholds information from judges, waits for an outcome they can spin, then attacks the judge publicly to discredit the courts. It’s not just bad faith litigation it’s an attempt to delegitimize an independent judiciary in the eyes of the public.
