Well this will be interesting. First time Castleton v Post Office/Fujitsu has come to court. I think I will drop by to live-tweet and write up the proceedings.

Definitely been kept from NEC in the recent past, triggered partly by my and @DanGreenJourno’s reporting on it for @LabourList.
No wonder if this is true.
Labour’s membership figure has been dubbed one of the party’s “most closely guarded secrets”.
It's even been said specific data has been kept from the national executive committee for fear of leaks.
It's out there now 👇

Kudos to the Guardian for defending its investigative journalism.
The Guardian has won its High Court legal battle with the actor and director Noel Clarke, who sued us for libel over allegations of sexual misconduct. We ran two defences – truth and public interest – and won on both. judiciary.uk/wp-content/uplo…

It’s estimated Gaza had as much, likely more, explosives dropped on it as Dresden, Hamburg and London in WW2. Little wonder it looks like this. Not filmed with anything fancy, just an iPhone through a window. There’s no avoiding the scale of destruction. itv.com/news/2025-08-04/aeri…

Some of the best known journalists around the world have collaborated in an unprecedented push for independent access to Gaza. ‘If this press blackout continues, it sets a dangerous precedent’ freedomtoreport.org/

Sky News reporter says journalists were told by Israeli officials that aid drops into Gaza could be cancelled if media onboard filmed the shattered enclave from above. news.sky.com/story/mile-afte…

After 4 months of a near-total Israeli siege, Gaza’s hospitals now have wards for the malnourished children whose tiny bodies are just the width of their bones. Aid groups had warned of this for more than a year. Now a worst case scenario is upon us. washingtonpost.com/world/202…

An already very serious story, now takes on a whole other level of seriousness if this is indeed true.
Have you seen this, @drchrisnewton?

🔥BETTY BROWN forced to fight on ✊
After intervention from Minister @gareththomasMP Betty's original settlement offer miraculously doubles to 60% of what her professional advisers calculate she is due in full and fair redress!
What was missed by the inhumane DBT Lawyers from their original derisory offer?
The Compensation process is being treated as an insulting and sick game of poker by the DBT Lawyers, simply designed to force victims to fold their hands and accept lowballed offers.
Sir Wyn Williams must now sanction convening a further Inquiry Compensation Hearing.
Betty, and ALL her fellow victims of this State Sponsored Crime deserve so much more from their Government. 😡😡😡
THE COUNTRY IS BEHIND YOU BETTY 🥊

The murder of Sunday Times foreign correspondent David Holden in Cairo in 1977 remained unsolved for decades. Then editor Harold Evans called it “the most profound mystery” of his career. Today, in a special report on @thetimes, we reveal the truth at last thetimes.com/article/c82d28d…
