It is going to be very controversial if Arsenal do not win this game against Hull. Kai Havertz should have got a VAR penalty regardless of the offside. #ARSHUL

On the Arsenal non-penalty, it seems the rule is so complex and ambiguous that it's essentially "create your own adventure". One precedent (Brentford) gives the decision, one (Newcastle) doesn't.

Summing up to the jury, Russell Brands lawyer questioned why the women didn't scream or fight back whilst being raped/assaulted? .....This scene from the BBC drama Apple Tree Yard perfectly explains why some victims aren't able to scream & fight while they're being assaulted.

"Actually, the Kindertransport was bad."
Interesting from Katie Lam in The Times. The institutions and assumptions of the postwar world now find little favour among much of the contemporary right

On Thursday I wrote about the 2014 injunction Russell Brand obtained against a woman who accused him of assault. I've now obtained the final order. It's breathtaking. She had no lawyer. No trial. Yet she was silenced for life - even barred from speaking to the police. 🧵:

This is well worth watching in full: @TimesRadio int with the excellent @RosamundUrwin who’s been investigating Brand since 2019. Here she is on the aggressive questioning of Brand’s victims by his defence barrister Ian “you’ve f*cked it” Winter KC… (Full 20mins 👉🏼: youtu.be/zmQpaoyzGfM?is=y5y8…)
Justice thanks to the extraordinary reporting of @RosamundUrwin and @char_wace 👇

I haven't been on this site for a bit. But I haven't seen anyone share the photo the New Statesman staff staged in 2013 of Russell Brand as Christ, and themselves as his disciples. It seems to have been scrubbed from the web. It made me angry then and it makes me angry now.

After witnessing the bravery of the women at the Russell Brand trial - and seeing what the cross examination was like - wanted to repost this from 2023 about why women might decide not to report rape
I don’t know what happened with Russell Brand. He denies criminality.   But I DO understand why women might not report rape to the police My take on tonight’s #PoliticsHub 👇

To be clear: These are bribes.
NEW: OpenAI's president gave Trump $25 million. Trump moved to block state AI regulation. UnitedHealth gave $5 million. Trump doubled their Medicare Advantage pay increase. It all happens through MAGA Inc. and oligarchs are spending big to defend their cash cow this election.
