#ff @IanDunt @GregHands @MichaelDugherMP @JamieWood_Sky @Sathnam @skymarkwhite <-- a mixed bag of good tweeters
Interesting story somewhat overshadowed by events: NICE recommends women over 40 & same-sex couples shd get free fertility treatment on NHS
Re. new Asbo: repeated breach causing serious harm cd result in 3 mths custody for someone as young as 14. Will make some Lib Dems uneasy.
RT @TrygveSorvaag "I'm blind on one eye which is handy today. Then I don't have to look that direction" 18yro survivor pointing at #Breivik
Once again @TrygveSorvaag is a must-follow today. Absolutely harrowing tweets from inside the courtroom where Anders Breivik is on trial.
Home Office source tells me new Asbo system - "CRIMBOS" - could force ppl to take action such as drug programmes & even dog training!
Home Secretary tells @skynews Asbos "became a badge of honour" & new system will be "easier, more flexible and quicker to put in place"
Interestingly, to speed up process, new crime prevention injunction will need a lower standard of proof than Asbo - "balance of probability"
Morning, discussing the "new Asbo" on @skynews Sunrise. Gvt says it's more effective & streamlined, Labour says it's a "weaker rebrand"
Who *could* he be talking about? Cable slams "ideological zealots" who want "firms to fire at will". Across Westminster Tories gnash teeth.
