A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

The fact that someone is invited on BBC Question Time to say this in 2026 is both extraordinary and utterly shameful. If you'd have predicted this 20 years ago I'd have laughed and told you to lay off the cooking sherry.

All this low hanging fruit that the Tories plan to use to save £50bn begs the question, why did they allow all this pointless spending to arise in their 14 years in office?

Outstandingly dishonest even by Nigel Farage's standards. Farage knows that the men arrested at Fairford would not have been released if they were still suspected to be terrorists. He's stirring up fear, hatred & resentment against both immigrants & the police. Pure malice.

Between that and AB: "I think it's right to listen to what people say during the consultation and then decide on the right way forward." LK: "It sounds like you're not up for it." ... a decent boss would be telling Kuenssberg to start polishing her CV. Lucky for her she only has indecent bosses.

"Research based" gave us a clear cut nest graphic of "this is how learning works." Research should look at actual learning in the messy reality of the classroom. Not dictate a neat theory and then police conformity.

If a kid doesn't like school, it's obviously a "crap school". Absolutely nothing to do with underfunding, constant high stakes assessment, obsession with GCSEs, lack of mental health support, large class sizes, lack of flexibility in the overstuffed & academic curriculum, overworked staff....

The media promoted the scheme saying it was the ground breaker for stopping the boats. Currently the Labour government has reduced boat crossings by 43% at a fraction of the cost of that scheme and nothing is reported.

In the UK, transphobes constantly attack parkrun by claiming men are running as women to claim records. When pressed, they will always cite one single example of a trans woman holding a course record in 2012. Course records are no longer collected or published by parkrun, a non competitive event.

Jim Ratcliffe, tax-dodging Brexiter billionaire living in Monaco, says the poorest and most vulnerable should have their rights & benefits removed to bolster our economy. Don’t bother telling us this rancid man’s opinions unless you say how much he’s avoided in tax and what Brexit is costing us all.
