    The murder of 18-year-old Lily Sullivan by Lewis Haines has not prompted a huge amount of coverage, but the sheer casualness of this 31-year-old man's evil is terrifying. A man who killed a woman because she rejected him. These are the words read in court from Lily's mum Anna:

    I witnessed a really powerful moment today in court. A judge read the harrowing words of a junior doctor to a man who had been on a mass protest against lockdown.

    “I used to be afraid of dying because I didn't want to leave Lily, but I am waiting for my time now. I can't wait to be with her again. Until this happens it feels like my life is on pause. I am struggling to find a reason to be here.

    "Everything made sense when she arrived. We were so close. She was a beautiful girl inside and out. She didn't see that and lacked self-confidence. “She always saw the good in people. She was not an angry person or confrontational.

    This woman from Wales was recently prosecuted for not paying her TV licence. She made clear she'd been in an abusive relationship and relying on foodbanks, but was now able to pay in full. The case went ahead and she got a £146 court bill and criminal record. 🧵

    “The pain of Lily being taken from her family is unbearable. I am suffering many physical symptoms which are debilitating. I suffer regularly from panic attacks. When they come I cannot speak or function.
