“You cannot simply say “Well he’s good at trade so it doesn’t matter that he’s a sexist, a misogynist and a climate change denier.” Nicola Sturgeon says if it was up to her, ex Australian PM Tony Abbott wouldn’t have a role in the UK government. JM #KayBurley

So essentially the same video they took down last week but with slightly better graphics and a more defensive tone. Think most people would rather be an #activistlawyer than a greedy racist...present cabinet excluded of course. Conservatives Home Office

As a condition of standing in the election, they all swore to vote for the Withdrawal Agreement. And now, told to vote to breach that very same agreement, they nod along hoping to stay in favour. You could not make up a more abject story of human hypocrisy and weakness.

Listening to our President downplay this pandemic which killed both my parents is fucking infuriating.

We face a planetary emergency that requires a global response. Today the United Nations is hosting its first-ever Biodiversity Summit at #UNGA where world leaders must agree plans for ambitious action #ForNature, for people and the planet.

Black women launch Instagram takeover for UK's Black History Month theguardian.com/world/2020/oct…

1st day of #BlackHistoryMonth This is another collective chance to engage and grow. I wonder how schools will approach this considering Conservatives response to numerous petitions around these issues still awaiting debate...Happy October Everyone!X

Continuation of some very dystopian & undemocratic rhetoric from Conservatives. Take home point - your gov does not care about you, your family or your rights. Ironic the tories think only the ‘indefesible’ require rep in the legal system...IM bill anyone!? 👀 #ActivistLawyers

I don’t know how many times we have to say it before Conservatives make meaningful commitments to addressing the disastrous affects of cuts. Banging. My. Face. Against. The. Wall. #fatcatlawyer #activistlawyer

Despite #lockdownuk G4S RYE HILL refuses to assist client-solicitor communication. No video links. No tele cons. They suggest I travel 126 miles for an in person visit ‘as travel is permitted’ OR client can call me & pay for it themselves. APL Prison Reform Trust InsideTime

#Accesstojustice is a pillar of democracy which is all but demolished. Legal Aid Agency has a policy of arbitrary refusal which wastes hours of unpaid time. The whole process leaves you wanting to launch your computer across the room in a fit of rage. Something has to change.

Yesterday, I found out that one of my client's died in prison after testing positive for Covid. I had first met this client as a trainee, but had been re-instructed since. He was in his 60s and unwell. The last time we had corresponded, he had mentioned health problems.

Nice tweet Sen. Cruz! Quick question: do you also believe the Geneva Convention was about the views of the citizens of Geneva? Asking for everyone who believes US Senators should be competent and not undermine our elections to incite insurrection against the United States

The RCN condemns the governments continued lack of investment in health and social care services and staff following today's #Budget2021 announcement. bit.ly/386NsAS
