What platforms (if that’s the right word) are people moving to away from Twitter?

About 1,500 people people are in Old Market in #Bristol - who have gathered to oppose rumoured anti-immigration protests. It comes as police have been given enhanced powers ahead of any demonstrations ➡️ bbc.in/4fymROd

Huge numbers in West Street, Bristol. The street is full of people as far as the eye can see Updates here: bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…

@sfhosali @whatKatydidnext Solidarity Sanchita

@whatKatydidnext Though as a colleague reminded me yesterday, I have to also be mindful of my own safety. What times.

Should be on a train, heading to a wonderful community group classroom to deliver a day of practical legal education. But last night the call was made that it's not safe. Feel unfathomable. We'll pause, come back with renewed commitment to why our human rights matter for all.

@BristolAFed could you follow me so I can DM?

@TristanCorkPost Do you reckon it will make St John's lane any less busy??

EXCLUSIVE: The A38 through Bedminster in South Bristol - Malago Road and Dalby Avenue - will reopen both ways THIS WEEK! It's been closed northbound for 2⅔ years Full story here bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…

If you read one opinion piece today, I wholeheartedly recommend this one by Bristol24/7 reporter Karen Johnson (@karenswaron), who no longer feels safe in her adopted city bristol247.com/opinion/your-s…

@bristol_citizen From the slave trade, work discrimination, to policing, to poverty levels... while Bristol has a histoiry of anti-racism, lets not pretend it doesn't have one of racism as well.

For all those asking, in Bristol, there’s a brilliant charity called @AidBoxCommunity who help people recently arrived in the city. Find out more about them here, & do RT aidboxcommunity.co.uk

Really strange that there weren't sufficient officers outside of the hotel to begin with, given the far-right organisers made very clear that was their target

A fundraiser has been set up to buy toys and sweets for children living at a hotel for asylum seekers that was attacked yesterday by a far-right mob bristol247.com/news-and-featu…

It was not the police who initially protected the people inside the hotel from the violent mob, it was a group of Bristol people, who lined up to face them down. The police arrived later x.com/cez_thomas/sta…

Outside a hotel in Redcliffe, Bristol - the hotel is being protected by hundreds of Bristolians shouting ‘We are many, you are few. We are Bristol, who are you?’ to a group of around 100 protesters who had marched on the hotel

Courts urge restraint in judicial review of prosecutorial decisions administrativecourtblog.wordpress.com/2024/08/02/cou…

High Court have overturned on appeal a decision striking out a claim against Sussex Police and Crown Prosecution Service on grounds of witness and advocate immunity. The claim involved unauthorised disclosures of the confidential addresses of a domestic abuse survivor to her violent ex-partner by the police and CPS, forcing her to seek refuge on two occasions. Fiona Murphy KC and Frederick Powell represented the Appellant in this successful appeal against a strike-out and summary judgment decision, setting an important precedent for victims in this developing area of law.

@__theskipper__ I'm not sure that's a description of the public interest that the IOPC would adopt!
