Both devices had notes attached to them - looped around them. One note said "Leave means leave". The other said words to the effect: "We'll bring Britain to a standstill" - that's why @BTP believes the incidents are Brexit related.

NEW Another increase in the asylum backlog. New @ukhomeoffice figures to the end of June 2023 show there were 134,046 cases without an initial decision… … while the number of applicants waiting at least 6 months rose to 106,543 - more than double the number 18 months ago.

Well that’s an interesting one - don’t recall that offence being in the Public Order Act. I think we might be hearing more about this … The police approach today seems to be “Arrest first, ask questions later”…

It’s not just the NHS in crisis…. I’ve spent some time in the crown courts where a shortage of barristers is undermining efforts to tackle the backlog of cases:

Crown court where the lights are on but the rooms are almost deserted as barrister shortage bites

No sign of backlog built up over pandemic shrinking as inability to find prosecution lawyers means cases keep getting pushed back

It took the intervention of a new Justice Secretary to bring this to an end. Some credit to @BrandonLewis for that. But it reflects very badly on @DominicRaab - his intransigence & arrogance contributed to the strike and the damaging delays to trials that it caused.

Quite an admission @CommonsJustice by Rory Stewart : Carillion underbid for prisons maintenance by £15m per year. Govt now paying extra as it picks up contract. Stewart says it’s a “real real lesson” for Ministry of Justice. Deal was “completely unsustainable” he says.

Why is @sajidjavid depriving UK national Shamima Begum of citizenship? 1. It makes him look ‘tough’. 2. It has a large degree of press & public backing. 3. He has an arguable legal case. 4. It prevents her return while case drags through courts 5. If he loses he can blame judges

So, homelessness is a “lifestyle choice”, says @SuellaBraverman She should look at @MoJGovUK figures showing 14% of prisoners are homeless on release. This rises to 25% after 3 months. Some jails even give prisoners tents - because they haven’t found them accommodation.

The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4

The ‘woke’ policing argument is a distraction from the real reason police struggle to attend & solve burglaries & other crimes - lack of resources. That’s a summary of what @ZoeBillingham - ex inspector of constabulary - just said on @LBC with @TomSwarbrick1 And she is right.

A security deal has been reached with EU. Here are some key points to remember. 1. UK will be out of European Arrest Warrant scheme which means extradition will be slower & more cumbersome. Some countries may refuse to send their own nationals for trial here...

Chris Grayling gets a peerage. So that’s his reward for wrecking the probation service. It just sums up this Tory government - and why they deserve to be booted from office.

The case of David Carrick is shocking. He is one of the most prolific sex offenders in the UK - and should never have been allowed to join the @metpoliceuk Vetting failures. Missed opportunities to investigate & sack him.
