Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

Return your unwanted Reform UK flyers to this address and it costs them £2.50 a pop. Pop this address on an envelope with the flyer in, and pop it in a post box! The more we return, the less they will send!

Just read Hettie’s article in the Guardian about the effect of private equity ownership of care homes. A very clear explanation of the misery caused by murky financial dealings. Looking forward to reading this book when it comes out.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

I see Trump went all out in the Mar-A-Lago Thanksgiving dinner. 300 a plate I understand. Is it a grift or just total lack of taste?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Very timely discovery for Harvard. Magna Carta, originally granted by King John in 1215, was the first document to put into writing the principle that the king and his government were not above the law.

Harvard’s unofficial copy of Magna Carta is actually an original, experts say
Document issued by Edward I in 1300 was bought by law school library for just $27 in 1946

This is ridiculous. Whatever their political beliefs might be, people in the UK love birds. How can the Labour party possibly believe that this is contentious? Damn their Reform cosplay idiocy.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.
