Lottie @sellottie.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Really very good short doc about what could be called British New Wave cinema. Ft. one of my all time favourites, Chris Petit’s Radio On, which is still so compelling (if not an easy watch tbqh), and Patrick Keillor’s London, which I’m now 100% going to seek out. youtu.be/9EJEBbOw2ng?...youtu.be 010

Reposted by Lottie👻 Jack Djinn Wail 🧞 @jacktindale.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I think a lot of this is just a natural extension of the fact that MPs feel obliged to speak in the House a lot more, either for social media clips or just to make it seem like they're doing more work (when we all know that the majority of work is done outside the Chamber). 5358

Reposted by LottieStephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The reason the use of parent orders have fallen - in my direct experience of being an observer in courts - is that it is just really hard to tell when they reasonably apply. “Child neglect” is a crime, as is conspiracy to commit an offence! 1313316
Lottie @sellottie.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Really doubt that this will come to pass but that’s almost part of the problem — justice policy designed around posturing and soundbites rather than the evidence, which needless to say makes it emphatically clear that parenting orders don’t work. 120
