This is a really big deal. Bigger even than the army of experts contradicting Dr Evans. The 2 insulin cases are Letby’s biggest problem. And now it seems there was a failure to disclose undermining evidence. Even ex-DPP Ken MacDonald agrees.

Doing a longish trial in Yorkshire in January 2021. Stayed up over a weekend. Stepped out of my car at a desolate snow-swept car park in the Dales. Policeman told me I had to go home because 30 mins drive was too far to have come from my Airbnb.

When my wife went into labour and rNHS heroes left her vomiting in pain in the triage unit for 3 hours, they wouldn't let me in because the hospital's COVID regulations only allowed partners in during active labour (later found out the hospital had no such regulations).

Here's an annoying bit of enshittification in the law: pdfs no longer always being made available for government guidance, guidelines, codes of practice and the like. Hard to read and navigate, and no way to track sneaky edits. Deliberate, surely.

Ok hot take but the fandom surrounding the Japanese ambassador is getting all a little too twee. A bit too ‘antithesis of everything Paddington stands for’. A bit FBPE Waitrose ‘you sir just won the internet’. The ambassador himself is sweet. The online fawning is unnecessary

If Labour gives a fig about pubs, why is it passing a law that will make publicans liable for 'offensive' banter overheard by their staff? The "all reasonable steps" pubs will be required to take to 'protect' their staff from this 'harassment' will be unaffordable for many.

Nice piece by David Shipley on the tragic wrongful conviction and life-ruining incarceration of Peter Sullivan. Institutional inertia in paying compensation where it's due is unforgivable. Could be corrected in a heartbeat. spectator.co.uk/article/the-in…

Advocates of free speech must defend Lineker’s tweets from this type of investigation; being offensive is not a crime. telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Before she became a judge, Ingrid Simler QC welcomed Jolyon Maugham to her former chambers. What an extraordinary and repellent way for him to now write of a former colleague and friend to some anon who insults the justices of the UK Supreme Court as “crustaceans” and “fuckwits”

Philippe Sands just wrote a book in which he admitted he refused to represent Pinochet because he didn't like him. Not a single eyelid was bat at the Temple.
