Thousands of workers who have fought hard to win employment tribunals are never being paid the money that rogue bosses owe them, with no consequences for bosses but a huge impact on them. Privileged to be working on this project with the brilliant @mellino.bsky.social and team at @tbij.bsky.social

I also want to highlight the amazing work by my co-authors on this symposium - @bevclough.bsky.social, @jillstavert.bsky.social, @colinimckay.bsky.social, Linda Steele, Oche Onazi, and Peter Bartlett. You can find the full symposium here: academic.oup.com/hrlr/issue/2...

I am working with @mellino.bsky.social to uncover the many injustices workers are facing going through employment tribunals. Please help share our callout with your networks (available Polish, Portuguese Punjabi - Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi, Spanish, Romanian and Urdu) ⬇️

Now finished but anyone wanting to see me and @jillstavert.bsky.social gallop through human rights and mental health in 30 minutes can get recording from @lsa.org.uk

Here are 2 pieces I wrote when I broke the story of William Lindsay's suicide in Polmont in 2018. They expose failings in the prison & the care system. I hope the findings of the FAI into his death & Katie Allan's, released tomorrow, are as damning as they should be. www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

Today we published the closure report for our investigation into the care and treatment of Mr E, who'd been unwell a long time, and was known by health and social work services, yet whose condition deteriorated significantly and permanently without active intervention.
