Most of us sleep in our beds because of the rule of law. Its easy to point at other counties that don't have it, but we must keep an eye out closer to home. We lock up 30,000 a year. UK is only european country with no #timelimit #immigrationdetention ALQC @ #justiceweek18

#PeoplesVoteMarch Behold the mess! You can ring your hands, or you can vote with your feet. Let’s go March.

To all those sniping from the sidelines: lawfully campaigning for change is never undemocratic. #PeoplesVoteMarch

A very special evening at The Temple Church with The Bar Council & The Refugee Tales discussing Indefinite Detention & #theRuleofLaw. Beautiful reading by Niamh Cusack. Pleased to reassure audience of The SNP MPs support for an end to indefinite detention

Almost every informed commentator accepts that fundamental to the reforms required, is the introduction of a statutory 28-day time-limit on detention. There are workable alternatives to detention. Read this independent report from SOAS, commissioned by the Bar Council. x.com/thebarcouncil/…
