From today, women effectively work for free until the rest of the year due to the gender pay gap. It’s two days earlier than last year because the gap has grown for the first time since 2013. We must end the undervaluation of women’s work for good.

The U.S. ambassador to the UN got a community note for gaslighting.

And a return of the hostages. The US vetoed, & is basically dancing to Netanyahus plans.

🚨 Judgment: SSHD in breach of her positive duty in art. 3 ECHR to reduce the risk of inhuman and degrading treatment to a reasonable minimum, based on her failure to implement an adequate system for permitting destitute migrants access to public funds. caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/admin/202…

Mr Justice Johnson upheld, in part, claims by 3 affected families on common law, child's best interests and art. 3 grounds. Prolonged delays (averaging 10 weeks) for migrants requesting that the SSHD grant them access to benefits were central to the claims.

The art. 3 'systems' duty was breached, irrespective of the individual facts of the cases. The current practical operation of the system is incompatible with s.6 HRA 1998. Such generic findings are uncommon in my experience (see DMA [2020] for a similar outcome - pictured).

Great to be involved in this case pre-trial and another great outcome 👏🏻Deighton Pierce Glynn

Israel killed this entire Lebanese family in Beirut today by dropping bunker buster bombs on their heads while they slept. All of them civilians.

There is certainly a debate to be had about the utility of public inquiries, and the appropriate style of evidence gathering, but it's clear from this article that Matthew Syed cannot have observed any of the last few months of the Covid Inquiry as Hugo Keith KC is not the lead

Some rescues are so complicated. This one has taken me a week so far and I’m only half way through it. This mum had been dumped in the jungle because she was pregnant. This is the complicated but rewarding story of saving her and her puppies (1/10) 🧵

When I was 15, I said to my Dad, my friend Dave says the kibbutzim in Israel are socialism. My Dad said, who can live in these kibbutzim? I asked Dave. He said, Jews. I told my Dad. He said, Socialism for just one people? Is that socialism?

I was watching Say Yes To The Dress this morning and Randy was fretting over a nonbinary client who didn’t use gendered pronouns. He cautiously expressed he was nervous about getting it wrong and acknowledged it was new to him. While helping the client,
