Rogue traders sentenced after conning vulnerable victims out of around £880,000: nottinghamshire.police.uk/news/nottingha… Rogue traders is too polite a term for Charlie Lee, 57 and James Cunningham, 41, who systematically fleeced elderly folk by charging extortionate fees for non-existent work.

Magistrates' Blog retweeted
⚖️@CPSUK has authorised @NCA_UK to charge a man with alleged offences of breaching Russian sanctions in June 2026 in the English Channel via operating a shadow oil tanker Read more here: orlo.uk/3Qkgt
@Lord_Talbot64 @LeoKearse Can see which way this is heading already: the accusation that the authorities didn't act because they didn't want to risk causing offence to the same sex couple.

Romanian gang accused of make-up theft from Boots in Norwich: edp24.co.uk/news/26196027.… The three interpreters attended, but four defendants didn't. To be fair, it's usually the other way around.
The burning question everyone has been awaiting the answer for.
⚖️ Two men have been found guilty of arson attacks on properties and a car linked to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer. We worked with @TerrorismPolice to secure these convictions. Read more 👉 orlo.uk/SWUno
Magistrates' Blog retweeted
🚨 BREAKING: The Court of Appeal has ruled the decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was lawful
@cyc1one1000 I couldn't tell you that, but I suspect it's more favourable than most in the public sector.
If my maths is right, that's on top of the 27.5% they had in the last 3 years.
🚨 NEW: Resident doctors in England have called off strikes from Monday after a last-minute 6.6% increased pay offer from the Government
@crochetjenny This must be for media soundbite purposes only. It is a total non-starter. How is it going to be enforced? Is the Government expecting parents to go toe-to-toe with their 6 ft 5 inch children at 10 pm?
Erm... someone please pinch me.
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer will introduce nightly social media curfews for 16 and 17-year-olds as part of the Government's social media ban [@thetimes]
@GustavPaulUK Absolutely, unequivocally unenforceable - setting aside the many legitimate nanny state arguments for one moment.
@PolitlcsUK @theipaper Of course he has.
@PolitlcsUK Well done Scotland.
@DPJHodges It's very commonly used.
