Despite no one being hurt, he has spent the last two decades incarcerated without hope on a discredited Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) jail term – until now.

Their decision to give him back his freedom came weeks before prime minister Andy Burnham announced he would finally end the injustice of IPP jail terms before the end of this parliament.

It also came shortly before the United Nations (UN) issued a landmark legal opinion which declared his detention – and that of a number of other prisoners serving draconian IPP sentences – is arbitrary and unlawful. A major legal challenge over their imprisonment was this week lodged at the High Court.

He was originally told he must serve a minimum of two years and six months for the robbery, committed in December 2005. Despite remaining drug-free for many years in prison, he was repeatedly refused parole because of his disruptive behaviour as he grew frustrated over his treatment, which he characterised as “cripplingly cruel”.

Ex-Breitbart editor has vocally supported immediate deportations for anyone who can’t prove US residency.

Well, he got exactly what he was asking for.

That said, I'm not happy to have him back here.

He eventually became locked into a feud with fellow far-right commentator Laura Loomer, a Trump administration ally who claimed on Friday that she had reported Yiannopoulos to ICE over his immigration status.

He fell out of favor in conservative circles after the publication of a video in which he condoned sexual relations with boys as young as 13.

But the conservatives love doing that! I guess he said the quiet part out loud.

Looks like they're joining in. Doesn't really add any legitimacy 🤷

The government hit back at the opposition party’s proposal of a “moratorium other than [for] local-scale datacentres for the local community”, saying it “would be a disaster for jobs and national security”.

The Greens’ call for a pause comes amid one of the UK’s worst droughts in years and predictions that datacentres’ electricity use, now standing at about 2.5% of the UK’s supply, will rise fourfold by 2030.

Our energy prices are also already sky high. We don't need any more scarcity.

Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands airports have been hit by a cyber-attack, with hackers accessing the data of about 8.7 million customers.

Hackers obtained their email addresses, phone numbers, vehicle registration numbers and postcodes, as the incident affected data related to “car park, lounge and fast-track bookings and in-airport wifi sign-ups”, said Manchester Airports Group (MAG), which operates the three air hubs.

Each kit produces up to 800W of power, which is enough to provide up to 20% of an average home’s electricity use when the sun is shining, according to officials.

As they go on sale, ministers say prices could start off higher but they expect them to settle at around £400 to £600 – depending on the size and model – amid growing competition as more models come on to the market.

Currys, B&Q, Screwfix and Wickes are also among retailers that have committed to stocking plug-in panels.

The sale of the technology was previously restricted in the UK because of safety and wiring standards.

The party – which until now has largely been based in Mr Lowe’s constituency, Great Yarmouth – is further to the right than Reform on issues such as immigration and has enjoyed support from tech billionaire Elon Musk, who has publicly backed Restore Britain a number of times on his X platform.

You're telling me the platform run by Nazis, which endorses Nazis, also funds them? Color me surprised.

But seriously though, I'm surprised that they can make any money from this at all. Let alone these wild numbers. I had never even heard of this party.

The USPS acknowledged in the text of the final rule posted online Friday, which is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register next week, that two injunctions issued by federal courts in California and Massachusetts currently bar it from moving ahead with the changes to comply with a March executive order signed by Donald Trump.

The federal government has sued 30 states and Washington DC for refusing to hand over lists of eligible voters.

Nearly one in three Americans voted by mail in 2024, but Trump, who wants to restrict the number of voters by limiting ballots cast by mail, signed an executive order in March that prohibits the USPS from delivering ballots to any voters not on a federal list of citizens deemed eligible to vote in each state by the Department of Homeland Security.

The USPS proposal to implement this order seeks to require states to give the postal service the names and barcodes tied to mail-in ballots for federal elections. The service said it received more than 200,000 responses to its proposed rule change during a public comment period.

Liman had come to shoot his latest fictional political thriller. Its subject: the 2022 Nord Stream explosions, in which a team of Ukrainian divers allegedly blew up a pipeline supplying Russian natural gas to Germany. One of the chief suspects, Volodymyr Zhuravlev, had twice eluded the Germany authorities: once allegedly slipping out of Poland in the boot of a diplomatic car, and on another occasion freed by a court.

On Wednesday, however, Zhuravlev’s luck ran out. He was detained in the Croatian city of Pula – where, in an incredible meta-twist, German media said he had been acting as a consultant on Liman’s movie, Snake Island, which dramatically reconstructs Zhuravlev’s alleged act of watery sabotage.

Goes to the film set of a movie about a crime I did and am actively being pursued over

"Ummm, actually, it didn't go down like that"

Gets arrested for said crime

I hope he gets royalties.

But after having sent the letter to Kidsgrove Town Council, rather than Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, she changed her mind about quitting.

Electoral Commission rules stated a councillor cannot withdraw their resignation once it has been received by the authority.

“In this instance, a letter was hand-delivered to an incorrect address at Kidsgrove Town Council.

New research on public perception of crime found the public guessed foreign nationals make up twice the number of sexual offenders than official statistics show (30 per cent compared to 15 per cent). They also estimated foreign nationals make up 25 per cent of the prison population, when in reality they make up just 15 per cent.

Rates of mobile phone theft, domestic burglary, vehicle theft, and murder have all fallen, despite perceptions that all have risen, the study found. In fact, researchers at King’s College London found, the general public were wrong about crime on nearly every measure

Based on two surveys of 1,797 and 2,164 UK adults, the research suggested Reform UK supporters stand out as consistently the most wrong

Color me surprised!

Presumably I'd at least end up on a list from this post, or if I already am on there, they'd add an underline.
