Israel’s new discriminatory death penalty laws are obviously contrary to the norms of any liberal democracy. Israel has no constitution but its courts have in the past asserted fundamental rights in the face of offensive legislation: this is is a pivotal moment. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

👉 Our team has secured permission from the High Court to proceed with a judicial review challenge to the Home Office policy “Nationality: Good Character Requirement”. The Court also directed that one of our claimants be treated as a lead claimant in the proceedings.

Now that the courts don’t have to be clogged up prosecuting thousands of grannies for opposing genocide, can we keep our right to trial by jury please?

Why am I not hearing about public interest litigators in the US challenging all of this?

Properly funding the court system would clear the backlog even more quickly. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

“Families are important, so there’s always been a presumption in family courts that parents should be involved in their children’s care. But when the parents are the problem, this presumption can lock children into a lifetime of harm.” https://goodlaw.social/o3de

I agree with David Lammy.

This story is all Nigel Farage should be asked about by journalists for months

Amazing how companies like Aecom will just go along with executive acts of vandalism. Trump presumable has no permission for any of this.

Absolutely scandalous that £2.1 bn of overseas aid is still being used every year to subsidise the Home Office’s inability to decide asylum claims. And all the social problems this ineptitude is creating too. Put the resources into deciding their claims so there are no long-term asylum seekers.

Military sites back on the table for asylum accommodation again. The Home Secretary changes but the Home Office remains devoid of competence and ideas. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Stewart Lee seems to be settling in as front page editor of The Daily Telegraph.

Yep, been waiting for this. Back to the asylum fast track we go. A terrible, failed system is to be revived by Britain’s worst department of state because they have no new ideas.

💥The fight goes on 💥 We are pleased to say that our case against the EHRC’s transphobic guidance will be heard in full in November. This is just the beginning, and we’re ready to fight it, together.

“a deliberate, systematic starvation of an entire population” A statement by Doctors Against Genocide. #Gaza

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Parliament is making a mockery of itself with these absurd terrorism laws, but a little more absurdism won’t hurt. Really looking forward to the vote in the commons when ‘Yvette Cooper’ is proscribed. www.thenational.scot/news/2529139...

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action". This is real police state behaviour.

The King has approved the appointment of six Lord and Lady Justices of Appeal. He has been pleased to approve the appointments of Mrs Justice Cockerill, Mr Justice Dove, Mr Justice Foxton, Mrs Justice May, Mr Justice Miles and Mrs Justice Yip. www.judiciary.uk/appointments...

Being told Iran has WMDs that can be deployed in 45 minutes must only be weeks away at this point.

I hope I will die without pain looking into the eyes of those I love. Thank you to those MPs who voted with compassion and reason today.

Round and round we go. Labour is completely out of ideas on migration. This one is so bad that there was a manifesto promise by Labour less than a year ago not to do it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wow.

The High Court has allowed my client Mr Kerman’s Judicial Review of the Charity Commission’s report on Kids Company. It’s not often a judge finds a regulator to have made “unbalanced and one-sided” innuendos, and findings that were “extremely unfair” and irrational. Thanks to Leverets instructing.

Along with a man and a woman who are trans, and someone who is intersex, we are suing the EHRC and the Equalities Minister in respect of the disgraceful and unlawful EHRC guidance. In line with our transparency principles we are publishing the full 32 page legal letter. goodlaw.social/2ihj

Labour is now pro-growth when it means disregarding the habitats regulations and anti-growth when it means visas for foreign students and migrant workers. What an incoherent end to its moral mission.
