Not sure that this counts as "good" news. It's just news.

Poisonous vindictive trolls getting their comeuppance is extremely gratifying, if you ask me.

All part of the smear campaign against Corbyn and the left of the party.Most of us knew it was shite,but plenty of others went along with the witch hunt.
Is it not good news when the truth comes out ?

This includes religious marriages. Not sure why more isn't being made of it as it's good news for UK girls.

It's not UK wide. Might be good news for the Gretna marriage industry...

It’s not applicable in Scotland.

 

[AuroraSaab]

No but it's apparently now illegal to take a 16 year old to Scotland (or anywhere else) to marry. Hopefully the Scottish government will follow suit.
