I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts. The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative. Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

If you're up early over the next few days, check out the view to the east before sunrise and you'll get to see Venus and Jupiter close together. Venus will be especially bright and noticeable. #Astronomy #Space

1st to 11th: Bright #Venus is close to #Jupiter in the early hours of the morning. Look low to the east-northeast from 03:00 to 04:00 BST (02:00 to 03:00 UT). Venus gets closer to Jupiter with each passing day. A good photo opportunity. #Astronomy

Despite promising to cut energy bills, Labour is about to hike them AGAIN. Bills are already up £150 since they came to office and Scots face some of the highest bills in Europe. Energy-rich Scotland is being ripped off by Westminster. Starmer & his Scottish poodles are your modern day Pinochio's.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The SNP will always keep Scotland’s water in Scotland’s hands. The current fiasco in England shows that public ownership works. Scottish Water delivers a better service, reinvestment not profit, and 20% lower bills than England. 🚰

Everyone who can should read consultant surgeon Nick Maynard's account of his work in Nasser hospital in southern Gaza - most especially the UK PM and his cabinet. And meanwhile we merely watch this tragedy unfold. It's in today's Guardian.

Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why. This week's column: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

A new report by Human Rights Watch and partner nonprofits released today confirms that migrants at the downtown Miami ICE facility were indeed shackled with hands tied behind their backs, forced to kneel, and made to eat from styrofoam plates “like dogs.”

My mental health was 1/10 yday-was struggling to hold on. If my photos or posts about mental health have ever lifted you,could you maybe like this post? I know it seems needy but I'm trying to change the narrative in my head-find some value in myself. If I've helped someone I can hold on to that x

Now, and in the months ahead in the run-up to the May26 Scottish General election, the unionist media will continue, and ramp up, their usual strategy - Insisting that Scotland is shit when it isn’t, and insisting that the UK is great when it isn’t.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended her department’s response to the Texas floods in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” disputing a New York Times report that FEMA failed to answer thousands of disaster assistance calls.

Our national parks are in trouble. Since Trump returned to office, the National Park Service has lost nearly a quarter of its full-time staff. That’s thousands of people who used to care for trails, run visitor centers, respond to emergencies, and protect the land, gone.

Rep. Joaquin Castro on Texas floods: "I don't think it's helpful to have missing key personnel from the National Weather Service not in place to help prevent these tragedies."

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Well done #France

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

After our last report on conditions inside ICE detention centers, the latest DHS propaganda makes a chilling kind of sense now. The official DHS X account posted a WWII-style poster urging people to “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” complete with the ICE tip line to report undocumented neighbors.
