Court of Appeal: Human rights damages may be awarded where someone faces immediate risk of inhuman or degrading treatment as a result of ā€œno recourse to public fundsā€ and Home Office does not act promptly. They do not have to prove they in fact suffered the degrading treatment.

A few peopleā€™ve asked about the impact of the Daily Mailā€™s wokesconegate, on sales of National Trust scones. The ā€˜scone per visitorā€™ trends in the 10 days following the news were:

Cheese (non-vegan) = no change
Fruit = no change
Plain = 15% increase
