The good news:
Shabana Mahmood, the Labour shadow justice secretary has come out forcefully in support of the ECHR....
The bad news:
Shabana Mahmood, the Labour shadow justice secretary thinks the solution to the UK prison problem is to build more prisons....
And while she is right, 'Change will not happen overnight... We cannot wave a magic wand & return our legal system to its former glory'... lets hope at least the mood music will change quickly!

There's rumors that the Guardian in the #UK is looking to interview #trans teens/young adults on the topic of DIY HRT.
