    If, and if is the operative word, ANW gets a custodial sentence then what in God's name do authorities do.

    He'd have to be held in high security solidarity confinement for his own safety.

    Whatever the charge, to the prison population he'd be seen as a nonce or peado.

    Open Prison would be impossible.

    There would be massive public pressure to serve his sentence but massive political outrage if any problems befell him.

    Not a welcome problem for any Home Secretary or Government.

    Locking him up in maximum security solitary would be a sure fire way to popularity for any Home Secretary.
    Use the tower. It’s traditional.

    He could be behind a 2 way mirror for visitors to file passed and see him. They would come from all over the world. It would make a Royal Mint.
    Great idea

    What if the Rooks got pissed off and flew away though

    Leaving aside the 2-way mirror and gawping, you have an excellent idea in using the Tower of London. I think legally it still is a prison.

    It’s a right royal prison.

    Oh. And you reckon the two way mirror and gawping gets banned by the Woke Stasi? But all the funds from paying gawpers would be going to children’s charities.

    I'm picturing the "White Christmas" episode of Black Mirror. Much though I would hate it to be real - I can feel the iron-y magnetic draw of that specific punishment for him.

    No, it is a mix of a fairly inner city bit of Leicester with quite large Muslim population and some leafy University bits. Probably the worst bit of Leicester for Reform.

    Thats a pretty strong Lab performance considering the national position and the fratricidal battles in the Leicester Labour Party over recent years.

    Three Labour seats. Three losses.
    None won by the Opposition. Nor by the Party leading the national polls.
    One each for LD, Green and PC.

    Gonna be a WILD GE if this keeps up!

    Woah! That's not Labour to Plaid transfers enabling Plaid to win, it's Labour to Reform transfers enabling Labour to lose.

    I can't see how the narrative that Badenoch is breaking through is anything other than fevered fantasy.

    She's breaking through wth the right-wing commentariat, both legacy and new media, and that's all she needs to do to keep her job. At least until the locals in May, and I don't know what happens then. But claiming she has had polling success is to overlook just how bad things are. The UK Conservatives, the longest lived right/centre-right party in the western world, are polling in the high teens/low twenties. That's *awful*

    Taking away the Prince from Prince Andrew now means he is referred to as King Charles' brother, Andrew – at least half a dozen times on that page including links to other stories. So that's worked out well.
