Now new court documents seen by The Times show that Sir Peter has refused Harry permission to appeal and also that the Home Office has been "penalised" for delaying the release of certain information - dubbed "crucial" by Harry's team - about the workings of Ravec - the committee that arranges security for members of the Royal Family and other VIPs.

Prince Harry was given a 10 percent discount on his legal fees in his High Court battle against the Home Office over his UK security after the Government was punished for delaying the provision of key documents, it has been reported.

The Duke of Sussex took legal action against the Home Office over the February 2020 decision that he should receive a different degree of protection when he returned to the UK after he quit his royal duties.

He lost the case back in February with High Court judge Sir Peter Lane finding that "there has not been any unlawfulness in reaching the decision" to revise his security, adding: "Any departure from the policy was justified. The decision was not irrational. The decision was not marred by procedural unfairness."

According to the newspaper, the Home Office failed to mention three categories of people for whom Ravec provides state protection when it should have legally done so.

The three categories are role-based individuals - like royals - other VIPs and those who need occasional support.

This meant the prince's legal team had not been made aware of the "other VIP" category, which, according to them, was crucial to his claim.

Harry's team initially sought "a reduction of 50-60 percent because of the way in which the documents and information were disclosed" by the Home Office.

Sir Lane said that while the Home Office had not acted in bad faith, "the defendant's breaches are, in all the circumstances, sanctionable".

UNITED KINGDOM HIGH COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF JULIAN ASSANGE, APPEALS MAY BEGIN

The High Court of the United Kingdom in British capital of London, ruled today in favor of Julian Assange, deciding the WikiLeaks founder will have an opportunity to appeal his extradition to the United States in British courts.

The High Court also gave the United States government three weeks the give guarantees that Julian Aplssange will be able to defend himself by invoking his rights under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Court also seeks assurances that Mr. Assange will not face the death penalty nor that he will be disadvantage by his status as an Australian citizen, all of which the U.S. has so far refused to provide the Court.

If these assurances are not met, Assange will be granted permission to appeal and a hearing will take place.

Had the Court ruled against Assange, all his appeals would have been exhausted and his extradition to the United States would have been granted immediately.

Mr. Assange faces charges in the United States under the Espionage Act, an antiquated and draconian law never before used in cases involving journalists.

A last ditch effort could also have been made to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, however, following Brexit, it is unclear what, if anything, a European Court ruling against the extradition .could have done to influence the British decision.

The Stolen Heir Review by Holly Black

I put of reading the cruel prince series for years i think, yet the moment i found out she was doing this book (and the sequel to it) I knew i would need to read it asap. My only regret was that I didn't read it immediately when it came out. As an overall I gave this book a five stars - and am so upset that we have to wait for what's next. Seriously, I thought my girl Jude was crazy and scary and amazing, but Wren? By the end of the book all i could think was WOAH!!! I literally can not wait to read more about this group of characters and what might come next. If you haven't already i would definetly give this book a read, though i wouldn't blame you if you wanted to wait for the second one. One note is you do basically have to have read the cruel prince series in order to read these, skipping ahead will only make you confused.

1,000 years ago, the High King was deposed by the Seelie and Unseelie High Courts. At the end of the war, he vanished. Most believe he was killed by his enemies, but others believe he escaped, and is simply hiding biding his time. Either way, most hold the secret belief he will one day return, for better or worse.

For now, his old palace sits in ruins, awaiting the day its old master returns

I sorta liked the mystery / courtly intrigue, but that's overshadowed by how much I vehemently disapprove of the romance. I'm not sure it was worth it and I spent a large portion of the book annoyed.

I need ya’ll to realize running back to TikTok like nothing fucking happened is exactly what this motherfucker wants. He wants you to run back and to be grateful. He wants you to forget that the Supreme Court has just passed something that indicates they can pursue intense censorship and remove our access to free speech and non-propagandized/monitored spaces whenever they want. He wants you to be so focused on all this that you completely forget that he’s about to pass at least a hundred horrific policies stripping us of our rights as soon as this week. He wants you to stop talking about Palestine who is still in danger and is in desperate need of aid despite the ceasefire. He wants you to turn your attention away from all the people in LA suffering thanks to the fires.

I don’t want to say it’s just an app, because it’s not. I was incredibly sad about losing TikTok yesterday. Many of us had a community that meant a great deal to us torn away suddenly and I am not saying we shouldn’t be upset about that. But I am saying that as much as the Supreme Court has more important things they should be focusing on over banning TikTok we have more important things to do then run back to an app that was obviously used for a publicity stunt by Trump and will inevitably be influenced by him and his fascism.

We’ve been discussing boycotting Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and other Meta platforms due to their connections to Trump and his posse of billionaires. TikTok must be treated the same way so long as the CEO and company is in Trump’s pocket.

Tax Avoidance vs. Asset Concealment: Purkiss v Kennedy Limits HMRC's Insolvency Powers
