This is a nonsense. The CPS is really an extension to a much older office of DPP, which has existed since the late 19th century and undergone constant reform.
A reminder that the CPS is only 39 yrs old - another relatively recent institutional monstrosity. It should be abolished and its functions re-assigned (returning it to local police departments would be the simplest remedy but alternatives are welcome).
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin while studying molds. It’s the willfully stupid who choose to see only as far as the tip of their nose.
The Bible literally commands us to study ants in order to be "wise"
Kit Malthouse uses PMQs to propound a novel constitutional theory: that the Lords isn’t allowed to reject a bill, even when it isn’t a manifesto promise or even a government bill. Starmer rightly sends him packing: “Scrutiny of the bill in the Lords is a matter for the Lords.”
People don't know that you can literally hike in the Austrian countryside and it just looks like this.
🚨 SHOCKING 🚨 A HUGE illegal waste dump has appeared between the A34 and River Cherwell, linked to organised crime. Every rainfall risks toxins washing into the river. We’re calling on the Environment Agency & Cherwell Council to act NOW. Our rivers cannot wait. 👇👇
Serious question - is anything actually being done about this? This might already have health consequences on the local population if not stopped.

On 5th November Lord Sales delivered the keynote lecture for the Annual Conference of @GovernmentLegal on the subject of: AI and Public Law: Automated Decision-Making in Government. The speech is available to read on our website: supremecourt.uk/justices/lord-…
Stories like this were only possible in a society where local people owned their own businesses. You don't get this kind of community dynamic with massive conglomerates.
My dad left my mom for another woman on Christmas Eve when I was eight years old. This left my mom with three boys to raise. There was a small grocery store in our neighborhood owned by Mr. Thomas. My parents actually stopped at his store while bringing me home from the hospital…
Let's call it the European steel community
Keira Knightley bans social media at home to protect her kids: “I find it very terrifying because they’re unregulated spaces. And I think for children, unregulated spaces are ones I want to protect them from. So in our house, we’ve got a no social media thing. They’re not…
HM the King has today invested HH the Pope as a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. Does this mean we'll see a banner of Pope Leo's arms in the Lady Chapel of Westminster Abbey (often called the Henry VII chapel), that order's chapel?

They lost their farming “jobs” only because they had on the previous century been forced into farming “jobs” due to the enclosure movement. AI scraping of the internet to use every available human-made text and image with no regard to copyright is a new enclosure movement.
Automation is also good. When the Industrial Revolution happened, medieval peasants lost their farming jobs. BUT THEN THEY GOT BETTER ONES.
"Respondeo: It is by the execution of our rational faculties that it can be concluded that the chicken in crossing the road, did so to realise the good of reaching the other side"
I had a dream where I had discovered a treatise by St. Thomas on jokes. It was literally a list of jokes with lengthy word-by-word commentary on each one explaining why it was funny.
This post also provides an excellent example of how important it is for an economy to retain its industrial base. Freddos are made by Cadbury which was sold to a US conglomerate. When we buy the product we aren’t retaining wealth and funding domestic jobs but foreign ones.
Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos. Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them. That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped…
Why has no-one written a Latvian-set hardboiled detective novel called ‘Riga Mortis’?
That's not the British constitutional tradition. To take one example, in case you haven't noticed, under the British constitution, members of the executive *must* also be members of the legislature (ie ministers must be MPs or peers), whereas in the US they *cannot* be.
I like the idea of a Manor House that only manifests occasionally
