“Numerous rights that I had taken for granted now had to be fought for" - Chair of our Disability Panel @MHendersonDSC in @TimesLaw talking about disability at the Bar. Also ft. @BDABarOrg and a plug for Bar Council resources ⬇️ thetimes.com/uk/law/article…










Today at the #covidinquiryUK Sam Jacobs from @DoughtyStreet representing the @The_TUC and instructed by Thompson’s Solicitors, questioned former prime minister Boris Johnson over his attitude to workers after notes revealed Johnson’s disdain for consulting with employees and unions during the pandemic. ‘Mr Johnson, Was it wrong for you as prime minister to set such a dismissive approach to consultation with the unions’.

Today at the COVID Inquiry @RubyPeacock19 from @DoughtyStreet, representing @The_TUC and instructed by Thompsons, asked questions of Steve Rotherham, Mayor of Liverpool, about the Time Out to Help Out campaign, which called on the government to support lower paid and self-employed workers when considering whether they could afford to self-isolate during the pandemic. The initiative was backed by @The_TUC, @unisontheunion , @GMB_union , @UsdawUnion , @unitetheunion and the @CWUnews. Mr Rotherham confirmed that it wasn't the case that Central Government didn't respond adequately. It was the case that they simply didn't respond. #CovidInquiry
