Alarming but not surprising. OASYS risk assessment grades of “high” “medium” or “low” risk are often thrown around quite freely in family courts where an offender is seeking contact. I’ve always thought them utterly opaque and never got any sensible explanation of how they work.

Strip them of every La Liga and Copa Del Rey from these years and launch an investigation into their relationship with UEFA referees, stripping them of their UCLs if they've done the same 👍
Barcelona have been charged with corruption, after payments totalling over €7.3m were made to the ex-vice-president of Spain's referees' committee, between 2001 and 2018.

Dear @Keir_Starmer in order for you to ensure any changes to law are positive, you will appreciate the need to understand the current law, reasons why it is as it is, and effect of change (a variant of the Chestertons fence principle).Thread 1. #EqualityAct

Who landed a £100,000-a-year job for 7 hours' work a week at Hutchinson Ports, which runs strike-hit Felixstowe? It's.... Westminster ferry expert Chris Grayling

Spectator summer party Thursday (full disclosure - I’m joint host with the editor), Johnson’s people indignant about his fate. To which I said if just one of you had stood up to his denials, obfuscations, downright lies he might still be there. So angry I left early. My own party
