The Lib Dems basically gave away their negotiating power in the coalition agreement for nothing but an expensive failed attempt to change from FPTP.

Expensive is an understatement. They threw away their promise on student fees in the process of this. Causing their vote share to collapse at the next election. Meaning that Cameron's plan to offer an EU referendum in the manifesto, but negotiate it away during coalition talks wasn't applicable. Meaning he had to actually offer the Brexit referendum...

It's literally called the "department of corrections"

And they literally manage "United States penitentiaries", so it's probably not worth playing the semantics game.

Put it another way - is Trump really redeemable at his age? If not, what should happen to him after this is all over? I think that denying him his freedom, with or without an attempt to rehabilitate him, would be a reasonable punishment. I think he deserves worse, I just don't trust anyone to judge and administer that properly.

Actually this is genuine advertising material. I know, I worked for FiUNlOC'KX teacakes at the time.

That's all covered by the article.

Despite what the update suggests, this system is not required by UK law.

Laws like the Online Safety Act 2023 apply to websites and online services — not to entire phone operating systems.

Similarly, the Data Protection Act 2018 (and its Age Appropriate Design Code) sets standards for protecting children online, but does not mandate ID checks for all device users.

This is a voluntary decision by Apple — not a legal obligation.
