How depressing that it’s impossible to have anything nice anymore. Canaletto’s painting this morning by the canal in London, covered in red spray paint applied by someone devoid of talent, brains and culture.

If you read one thing today, please read this extensive thread about Russell Brand suing and bankrupting a woman in 2014 who made similar allegations about him as those recently convicted ⬇️⬇️⬇️

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault. I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking. She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police. 🧵:

At the Supreme Court today the KC raised the serious injury caused to a police officer with the defence that this was not “intended by the others”. One of the Justices replied this “might be the kind of thing that’s liable to happen.. if you go armed with sledgehammers.”

UK agrees to talks on harms of the transatlantic slave trade - but PM rules out reparations

It comes after Andy Burnham said Britain was "open" to making a formal apology for its role in the transatlantic slave trade - but insisted he has "been very clear that we do not support reparations".

It’s crazy to think that Trump came down the escalator just 39 days after Milliband resigned the Labour leadership. He’s dominated the western mind for such a long time

I had to check because I didn't believe it could be true... But amid all the pressing issues the country is facing, there is a Labour MP spending time on social media suggesting adults should stop giving/receiving blowjobs. What the hell is going on in the PLP??

Imagine working in the CPS & police and being told you now have to decide **which prayers** should be part of a criminal charge… Jayne Ozanne is so blithely full of certainty it’s frightening. I think it shocked Danny Beales MP

The reaction of a recent migrant arrival after being photographed upon reaching our shores (illegally). Honestly, if you were genuinely fleeing war or persecution, wouldn't you show just the tiniest gratitude when landing up in a country you were hoping would give you sanctuary?

When people say less immigration in Australia, they don’t mean Brits. When people say less immigration in Britain, they don’t mean Aussies. Let’s stop pretending every human being is fungible.

If you're looking at Poland and wondering what the hell is going on, and what Donald Tusk is on about. EU membership requires the EU courts to be supreme, the ultimate authority. The Polish courts disagree. So Tusk is trying to remove them. This is the Brexit debate. In Poland.
