Extremely disappointing to hear S Sackman KC MP repeat her misleading statements about the Canadian criminal justice system, today in the Commons. She's been corrected by the Chair of the CBA Riel Karmy-Jones KC & by my paper for Leveson, republished on LinkedIn and on the @coeusjustice Substack.

This week, the Labour Government published England’s first ever Men’s Health Strategy – from cancer, to cardiovascular disease, and mental health. For the first time we're taking comprehensive, coordinated action to address the specific health challenges facing men and boys.

Russian occupation is not peace

No Archbishop or rabbi or other unelected Peer should have any say over my life. They have no moral or other authority or superior wisdom. The wrecking amendments are disgraceful & seal the case for the constitutional reforms proposed by Gordon Brown's Committee. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump fears courageous women journalists determined to excavate the truth beneath his deceit. His facile lashing out at their fair penetrating questions with blatant misogyny shows he's incapable of informed and rational responses.We are all Miss Piggy! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

£41 million! That’s how much more the Post Office has just agreed to pay Fujitsu to keep using the faulty Horizon IT system. It's an insult to all those wrongfully convicted Post Office staff. Fujitsu must be held to account. Please sign the petition you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ho...

"If we judges and lawyers don't protect justice, then democracy doesn't have a chance." At the International Bar Association conference in Toronto, Former Supreme Court Justice Rosalie Silberman Abella issued a rallying cry for the rule of law: https://bit.ly/47DMt9e

Labour's Renters Rights Bill is coming into law. This is what it means ⬇️

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Tory MP Danny Kruger has defected to Reform... but he’s been on the Eye’s radar for nearly 20 years. Back in 2006 he had David Cameron urging the Tories to ‘hug-a-hoodie’. [From Eye 1165, August 2006]

This is great news.

Tens of thousands of cornflowers in a field in Wicken. Research shows that the sight of them will help you recover from sources of stress more quickly & boost dopamine release in your brain, lifting your mood…in case you need it just now:

Night night sweet dreamies The people you’ll never forget are the ones who loved you most when you felt least worthy of it

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts. The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative. Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Farage the dictator.

A remarkable judgment, in which the Lady Chief Justice finds that MI5 gave false evidence to three courts. I'm surprised this hasn't had more media attention - it seems quite serious to me. www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

“This is a self-defeating strategy, if you can call it a strategy. These students fill our labs and they perform all the research.” They’re “among the smartest, most talented scientists in America.” It’s unclear how these labs are going to operate without them. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/u...

What a fantastic idea! Deserves a much wider audience.

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

It takes courage to say this in public. Some still convinced Brexit's not been done properly. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Yes many now see they've been lied to by Nige The Grifter & Co. about the benefits of leaving but they still vote Reform so ...

The mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children by Russia is an atrocity. That's why I'm leading a bipartisan resolution with Sen. Grassley to call for the return of these abducted kids. They cannot be used as pawns in this war.

Last week, university student Esila Ayık was released after 40 days in detention following her arrest for holding a banner calling Türkiye’s president a dictator. Ayık’s case is just the latest in a pattern of similar abusive detentions and prosecutions.

Her ignorance is breathtaking and alarming in equal measure.

Clever girl!

As is always the case with the Secret Barrister, a thoughtful and informative insight into an inflammatory (in every sense) case. Not a straightforward one to sentence, but then, sentencing seldom if ever is. @barristersecret.bsky.social

An extraordinary interview with an Israeli lawyer and an Israeli journalist, who are actively opposing the carnage and destruction in Gaza. Well worth a listen, whatever your views of the war might be. www.theguardian.com/news/audio/2...

The fundamental relation in education is not imaginary future job security, although that is a popular way to phrase it. Education is, at base, understanding and being understood. Every tool, every approach, every field a different dimension of understanding.

Shots fired, Neil.

Could you imagine if the head of the United States healthcare system didn’t believe that HIV caused AIDS? …And that instead they believed that AIDS is caused by recreational drugs (“poppers”) used by gay people? Oh wait…🥴
