Thanks to Gilsey and Paul. With read.

I don't really understand the problem with the internal market- I'm professing ignorance, not making a rhetorical point there. Lots of stuff would need to happen as part of measuring costs, I think.

the masterly study by Crewe and King, “The Blunders of Our Governments” (Oneworld, 2013).

Cameron was hopeless and had burned all his bridges for his own personal gain.

Cameron put that decision off as long as he could. He knew it was stupid.

I'm still not sure there won't be a conversion to Freedom of Movement, but I'm not encouraged. I think Corbyn had to find some way out of the SNP-led talks because the Tories would make hay with it, but it wasn't really a good enough excuse.

Her plus Nick Gibb getting Education would just about finish me of.

Tubby Isaacs

Greening has a marginal Remainer constituency that she needs to tend.

I wouldn't be surprised if May now has another Nicky Morgan on her hands.

Tubby Isaacs

Well done, Greening, if that's true.

Nobody wants Universal Credit. Trouble is, some far right goon will probably stick his hand up, and cause even more mayhem.

The TES say this a quote from Rayner. I think it’s because as we’ve tried to deal with some of the issues around race and women’s agendas, around tackling some of the discrimination that’s there, it has actually had a negative impact on the food chain [for] white working boys. Pretty poor. I am deep...

The CPS didn't exactly sprint out of the traps.

The principle is risk of reoffending. I don't think you can say much more than that, because it's confidential and personal to him. I'm sure the judge that passed the sentence expected him to be released now, and I'm not exactly turning cartwheels myself. But I think you have to give the Parole Boa...

Tubby Isaacs

Bits of justice are transparent and bits aren't. Younger offenders don't have their names revealed. Nor do new identities of released prisoners.

Nor would I reveal the communications between the Parole Board and a prisoner. Just the decision is fine.

I'm not really all that fussed what Hugo says, HSOM. I expect the shadow Lord Chancellor to be better than he is though.

Tubby Isaacs

Tubby called Burgon a 'populist lightweight' for suggesting the decisions of the parole board should be opened up for scrutiny (which could be similarly applied to Cooper who has essentially said the same). We could also open up the CPS files to scrutiny on why he was not prosecuted for other crime...

Tubby Isaacs

The system shouldn't be changed. The point of the reasons being private is that it helps the offender address them and go straight after release. Does that apply where the decision is to release? I'm minded to accept the parole board chair's view, but am open to persuasion. I think it does. but I'm...

Tubby Isaacs

The Probation Service, not a private provider, will be overseeing Worboys. Grayling made sure the useless inefficient public sector was stuck with the most serious offenders.

Work that one out.

Tubby Isaacs

They'd have to get more cautious if the media was getting stuck into the details of their decisions. It would make reoffending more likely.

Tubby Isaacs

Can't Chakrabarti have a word?

Tubby Isaacs

Burgon is a populist lightweight. If the details of probation decisions need to be made public, that'll have newspapers stirring shit a hundred times a week. The parole board will just get far so cautious that the prison population rockets. Not to mention that it's personal to the offender, and I ca...
