31st July is the end of the English legal year until 1 October. I won’t be returning with the metaphorical new pencil case this autumn, as I’m retiring after 35 years practice at the Chancery Bar in Lincoln’s Inn - link in reply

@AddictScrabble If Starmer did one good thing it was he suspended all those antisemitic lot from his party. But Burnham is going to let them back in because he's mates with them all. Remember he has helped cover up the grooming gangs.

John Rentoul@JohnRentoul·
Zack Polanski’s guillotine endorsement has tested him to self-destruction The plane has stalled, smoke is pouring out of the engine, the ground is coming up fast, and the pilot seems unequal to the task of pulling out of the tailspin. Polanski is struggling with the controls as the Green Party is losing support. He was elected leader 10 months ago on the bright and not entirely unrealistic prospectus of the Greens replacing Labour as the main party of the left. The party’s support in opinion polls doubled from eight to 16 per cent. But since the local elections in May, that rise has been reversed, and there are questions to be asked about whether Polanski is up to the task of recovery. His latest mistake was to share on Instagram a post of a man wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a guillotine and the slogan, “We’re only making plans for Nigel.” He had not noticed the words, with the implication of a threat to kill Nigel Farage, when he “flicked through” a series of 20 images, and as soon as this one was “brought to his attention”, he immediately unshared it. He was asked by Victoria Derbyshire on BBC Two’s Newsnight: “Do you want to apologise?” Polanski said: “No.” He accepted that he had made an “inadvertent mistake”, but he wasn’t going to say sorry because Farage had drawn attention to the image and given it far wider currency. Besides, he said, the moment he apologised, “we all know what Nigel Farage would do” – he would “run around” all over social media saying that Polanski had admitted that the post was an incitement to murder, which he had not. “It is important that I draw a line and don’t play his game,” Polanski said. It was also important to him that he stood up to newspapers “owned by billionaires that often attack me”. He didn’t think the photo was an incitement to murder, but he condemned violence – and violent imagery, and he personally always tries to avoid violent metaphors. In the course of a 12-minute interview, he managed to contradict himself repeatedly. Sharing the post was a mistake, but “I don’t think I have done anything wrong”, he said. The outrage had been confected by his enemies, but “this is a legitimate conversation to be having”, which is why he came on the programme. And he accepted Derbyshire’s description of his error as “careless at best and dangerous at worst”. She went on to point out that he wanted to be prime minister: “Voters could be forgiven for thinking that potentially you might be careless or dangerous with their lives or their safety or their money. Is that fair?” He replied: “Yes.” He claimed that he would learn from his mistake, and would be “better on my social media” – while at the same time boasting that “other politicians don’t use social media in the way that I do”. Derbyshire seemed surprised. It was only in April, she pointed out, that he apologised for retweeting an X post accusing police of excessive force in tackling a knifeman terrorising Jews in Golders Green. He had not seemed to have learnt from that mistake. That was “totally different”, Polanski insisted. Nor are Polanski’s mistakes confined to social media. Days earlier in April, he had appeared in an interview to play down Jewish fears of antisemitic attacks, saying, “There’s a conversation to be had about whether it’s a perception of unsafety or whether it’s actual unsafety, but neither are acceptable.” The Newsnight interview suggested to me that Polanski lacks the skill and judgement to succeed in his job. He has a surface plausibility, but is too ready to blame others and too proud to take meaningful responsibility for his mistakes and therefore to learn from them. He is similar to Jeremy Corbyn, not just in his politics but in his prickly belief in his own virtue. Yet he does not even have Corbyn’s basic skill of stonewalling difficult questions or turning them to homely expressions of universal peace and justice. And now that Polanski is up against a Labour leader who is better at politics than he is, all he can do is sound self-pitying. He said to Derbyshire that Andy Burnham “has identified a lot of the problems I was talking about”. In other words, his dream of replacing the Labour Party is over. And the Green Party, which never really liked the idea of having a single leader anyway, may start to wonder about the airworthiness of a pilot who fails to learn from his mistakes.
