As the issue of compensation for miscarriages of justice is rightly in the news, it’s timely to note that in 2014, the government changed the law to make it all but impossible for people wrongly convicted and imprisoned to claim compensation.
I’ve reported on a lot of terrible Tory ‘welfare reforms’ over the years but withholding sick people’s medicines to force them to get a job is genuinely a new low.

It is all so astonishingly pointless and debased and wasteful that it would probably be better not to spend too much time contemplating it; let us turn out attention to more pleasant things /end
A Kenyan academic with a permanent lectureship in the UK cannot bring her 6 year old child to live with her in UK. The Home Office’s letter, addressed to the six-year-old girl, stated, “It was your mother’s personal decision to depart for the UK.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/n…
🚀Pioneering collaboration provides an entirely new perspective on century of Tudor history! New book from @RuthAhnert and @sebastianahnert brings to light the complex power dynamics, the spy-craft, and the intrigues that defined the Tudor era (1509-1603). bit.ly/3Qok3aN

A disastrous night for the UK and its international reputation. All five votes lost, including on protections for children and on modern slavery. Shameful. We were finished by 1230am.
The UN have just released a statement about the govt’s migration bill passed last night… They call for the U.K. to reverse it, as it effectively treats those fleeing war and persecution as sub-human. Just when you thought this govt couldn’t sink any lower!
'Educated people won't vote for us' is a real admission
This is shocking. There used to be many routes into study for those who didn’t make the cut first time - cheap FE evening classes, extra-mural university departments, low cost Open University modules. What is *wrong* with these people?
Fantastic thread on the NHS versus healthcare systems in other countries.

Annual cost of helping 23,000 hugely wealthy families by abolishing inheritance tax: £7.1bn Annual cost of lifting 250,000 children out of poverty and reducing poverty for a further 850,000, by abolishing two child benefit cap: £1.3 billion. We have the wrong priorities.
🔥🔥🔥 “If I do a history degree and I end up working in a shop, does that make my history degree worthless? Or does that make working in a shop worthless?” That's got to be one of the most brutally unanswerable questions @susannareid100 has ever asked. Almost felt sorry for him.

These graphs show the drop in real terms pay for NHS staff since March 2009 It’s a key reason we support the doctors strike and other NHS staff who fight for better working conditions Please RT if you do too We cannot keep relying of the goodwill of healthcare professionals
