Our particular favourites are the eyeballs - Saint Alban’s executioner’s eyeballs dropped out as the fatal blow was struck. Brilliant designs by Mahogany Carnival who design & make our costumes for #LordMayorsShow

First time in I don’t know how many years I won’t be taking part in #LondonPride. Sad, but looking forward to being together with everyone next year.

This made me laugh out loud (disclaimer: the humour in the tweet is a bit niche but may give lawyers a giggle).

Self pity and anxiety can suck you down into that deep pit of depression. If you find yourself in that infected swamp, really try to grasp the rope of hope and climb your way out. It will give you that sense of achievement when you emerge ❤️

Intellectually dishonest headlines such as these enable successive governments to keep legal aid at the bottom of the list of priorities; funding ‘fat cat lawyers’ doesn’t win votes. The Secret Barrister 🦋 does a brilliant job of explaining how the system works.

It is so nice to read stories like this. A reminder of our humanity when the news is otherwise not exactly full of glad tidings right now.

This is great!

This is a fascinating (and at times sad) piece on LGBT+ sports people. Something on which to reflect during this LGBT+ history month. apple.news/Aw-MkCGGFSQK_h…

Great thread in response to proposed policy on reintroducing imperial measures… (doesn’t deal with the - deliberate? - misunderstanding of EU law which has been so much in evidence today - that is a whole other thread).

I love ⁦⁦Marina Hyde⁩ columns but she really has excelled with this one. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Seems a bit of a no-brainier to me: That’s a wrap: French plastic packaging ban for fruit and veg begins theguardian.com/world/2021/dec…

Love this photo.

Beautiful thread.
