I am on a relatively uncrowded Avanti train that is running on time. Pinching myself.

Fixing the woes of the CJS will take money but rather inconveniently, even if generously funded, it will take time, years of it. What does a government in the meantime?

Cutting benefits doesn't 'incentivise work'. But it does penalise and humiliate people on benefits, and that's the real point.

Or he is ignoring them in the belief that his decision is correct. He will have been briefed. Ascribing the decision to a lack of understanding is perhaps too generous.

Perhaps there is some underlying MoJ assumption that CPS tests reliably weed out the innocent.....

After trying to fight the good fight in the other place, I am back here for a refresh away from flaggy profiles.

A few hours after Reform tabled the opposition in the council elections I posted that it would be a good time to join a union if you work for a council. Go on. First thing Tuesday morning!

Hello. Just dropping back in to let people know that I am standing for Labour in the Ribble Valley South West Council Elections.

I think sonofiofiv strongly agrees and he is my go to film expert.

If you believe that Facebook, Twitter, even BlueSky are primarily about some noble public purposes or even that they should be, you are stuck in wish based beliefs.

When Facebook puts a choke on fact checking will anybody notice?

Professor Alexis Jay, who led a 7-year review of sexual abuse which reported in 2022, says starting a new inquiry would delay any implementation of her own recommendations:

Professor Alexis Jay said that starting a new inquiry could hinder the implementation of the recommendations from her 2022 report.
"We have set out what action is required and people should just get on with it," she told the BBC.
She added: "I've certainly been very unhappy about the politicisation of child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse in the way that many people, sometimes in a very uninformed way, have waded into the argument."

First build a national firewall. Without that, it is just a weak old country shouting unheeded protests at the passing traffic.

Me? I investigated "grooming" and convicted a child rapist or "boyfriend" as the victim called him. FWIW if you can't effectively safeguard the victims, your investigations and interventions are built on sand.That child safeguarding is often very difficult but almost always doable. That is all.

What new insights & lessons would we get from a national inquiry into organised sexual offending against children? Classic more heat than light stuff from Elon & Kemi.

Richard Horton @iofiv.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

He would but there is a high risk that he would then still claim to know better...

Basic gruel and water type safety nets. Maybe some sourdough and mineral water in places. Pay up for anything better. That's my guess.

Is there perhaps any UK constitutional law expert that could stage an educational intervention with Mr. Musk?
