It's incredible to think about it. The Famine was 174 years ago and the population of Ireland still hasn't recovered from it.

As Keir Monteith KC highlights, juries are a vital safeguard in our justice system, bringing diversity into decision-making that the judiciary does not reflect. Removing them risks inequality and undermines trust. Donate & support us in protecting them: bit.ly/4b7fEEK

Jimmy Kimmel: “The only war Trump had an exit plan for was Vietnam.”

Victims of the Horizon and Capture scandals have been suffering for far too long from the errors, mistakes and, frankly, the hypocrisy of the Post Office. It is time the Government put forward legislation, in the King’s Speech, to quash these convictions and finally deliver justice. My thoughts 👇🏻

There was a famous "ouch" moment at the Bristol Bar, when Butterworth J told a very prominent silk who was prosecuting: "You are supposed to be a minister of justice. Not a copywriter for the tabloid press." A correction that many lawyers on here, me included, should heed.

What we have learned today. 1: there was no imminent threat (Head of the US Counter Terrorism Center) and 2: there was a viable offer from Tehran to accept tight controls on their nuclear programme (Jonathan Powell). Both from that much maligned species known as genuine experts.

NEW: Our in-depth investigation finds that US has violated international humanitarian law by failing to take all feasible precautions to avoid civilian harm. US is responsible for the deadly attack on a school in #Minab packed full of children. US authorities must ensure that their investigation is transparent, thorough, and that the results are made public. amn.st/6018B6upqk

#PostOfficeScandal #PostOfficeInquiry #Jurytrials "Too often people enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought, never taking a principled stand. True justice will never come until those who are not injured are just as indignant as those who are" BRAVO FLORA PAGE KC 👏⚖️ ‼️

What it shows is that the party is drifting on the high seas - without anchor or sight of safe harbour - and that the rocks are fast approaching

Remember when Keir Starmer and David Lammy supported jury trials ?

On @DavidLammy , in The Sunday Times “The justice secretary’s astonishing hypocrisy is part of a shameless volte-face” Read @HadleyFreeman’s article about the Deputy Prime Minister, Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor @thetimes article⬇️ thetimes.com/article/1631ae…

“I hope people remember that Hind had a dream. Her dream was to be a doctor and treat all the children of Gaza.” - Wesam Hamada, Hind Rajab’s mother. Today is Mother’s Day in the UK. Today, ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ is up for an Oscar. Listen to Hind Rajab’s mother and her simple ask: for the lives of Palestinian children to be protected, as if it were your own. Do not stop talking about Gaza. The genocide is ongoing. The UK government is failing to help prevent and punish Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Flora Page KC said “the rule of law had now become something sold as part of 'UK plc'. Rich oligarchs or multinational companies are welcome to come & settle their disputes here for a princely sum, but if ordinary people report a crime, the chances of justice are slim to none.”
