A powerful short film about a special young man whose parents I had the privilege of representing. Sadly, yet another wholly preventable death in custody.

BREAKING: An inquest jury has found repeated failures by West Mids Police materially contributed to the death of Raneem Oudeh, 22, and her mother Khaola Saleem - they were killed in Solihull by Oudeh’s abusive ex-partner in Solihull in 2018. More on #c4news

Mark was always true to himself. Generous, funny and enormously principled. He gave his everything to the representation of his clients and he made the world, and our professional world in particular, a better place. It was a great honour to know him. Gone too soon. 💔

´Cookham Wood ..in a poor overall condition, with dirty living units & broken equipment. Prison staff were exhausted, with significant shortfalls on wings & while many clearly cared about the children, they felt unsupported by senior managers and had given up hope.. ‘

Senior Presiding Judge, Edis LJ, has asked judges to adjourn, from next week, the sentencing of offenders who are on bail where custody is likely to be imposed. The prison estate is full.

Want to know why Michelle Donelan was forced to make an extraordinary apology to two academics earlier today? It's a bizarre tale involving Policy Exchange, a secret government dossier and a libel case paid for by the taxpayer A short thread (1/10)

Some very exciting news.

Justice 💚
