A few days ago, I had the honour of giving a class on ICL at @BIICL. The room lit up as we discussed the wonderful work of @BenFerencz. Today, I read with huge sadness that he has passed aged 103. A beautiful soul with an incredible mind. May his memory be a blessing. #LawNotWar

No MP deserves to be treated the way Diane Abbott has been by Labour in recent months. She is being humiliated by the party she has served for nearly 4 decades My thoughts on @BBCNews earlier today

Constitutional lawyers may find suggestions that parliamentary sovereignty is an 'assumption' less surprising, since the suggestion emanates not from four KCs who have just written to a newspaper but from judges themselves. (1)
David Frost@DavidGHFrost

We've seen some remarkable things in the last few years, but I must admit I didn't foresee several KCs describing parliamentary sovereignty, the most fundamental doctrine of our constitution, as just an "assumption" and suggesting the courts could take it upon themselves to overturn it. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2023/…
