Thanks to anyone who decided to donate to a stranger in need. He reached his target!
Please read and consider donating to this fund to help my old friend and colleague Angus get treatment for a rare form of cancer. Maybe you don’t know him, but he is such a great person who brings joy and laughter to everyone he meets. A truly special guy

Well, it’s been a hell of a time on this site over the years, but so many reasons to leave now. I’m gradually moving operations over to Bluesky - best alternative I’ve tried so far. Link to my BS in my X profile.

For the last 18 months or so it's been super clear Musk is on a journey to outright white supremacism. This is perhaps the most explicit he's been yet.

Among many things the now former Home Secretary Suella Braverman said and did, one thing that I don't think has been scrutinised at all adequately is her decision to scrap degree-level qualifications in policing.

It’s official: “Rishi sunak has asked suella Braverman to leave govt and she has accepted” - No10 confirms. More on @TimesRadio shortly
Agree with parts of this thread - there is something going on in many organisations, where the voice of individuals and the org itself is more comfortable with expressive behaviour that may be seen as inappropriate by some and was previously (or still is) prohibited
Interesting article, suspect many won't like it because of where it is, but I have heard lots similar from lots off officers, and it isn't just about public order and recent protests, its about politicisation of the police, and more. A short thread.
