From last week: Barrister referred to regulator following misuse of AI in immigration appeal | Sonia Lenegan

Of course the main takeaway from all of this is that autism is women’s fault.

why does everyone invariably turn the latest Farage outrage into an attack on Starmer? No wonder Farage is always pictured laughing, gets away with it every time

It’s quite do-able from a legal perspective. I don’t think dismissing Reform in this way is wise. Voters need to understand that this stuff can happen if they vote for it - and that it would be morally, socially, culturally, economically disastrous. So they shouldn’t vote for it.

If only there were a Labour Culture Secretary with a brief to stop such media abuses #WheresLisa

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv... I've had ILR for 55 years, since I came here as a child. I'm sure there must be 1000s like me who have lived longer in the Uk than any other country. There might be ILR residents who've lived here longer than Farage?

Financial Times and Guardian reporting this accurately... www.ft.com/content/4e16...

Still, quite funny that they still stick out the official government videos on X, meaning that site gets the credit on major news homepages.

If the embarrassment alone doesn't kill us, he eventually will, in some other horrendous way.

you're kidding. BBC News - I'm nothing like my Peaky Blinders character, says Cillian Murphy www.bbc.com/news/article... (today's sloppiest headline)

Fascinating to see what I think is the first use of AI by a judge in an English court. (Here it's a first tier tax tribunal)

We have a system of justice which is secretive, known to be flawed and unfair, and week-by-week lands very vulnerable people with harsh criminal convictions And we have a government which is content for that to keep happening www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/t...

Here's one factor English commentators will miss: on the left is a map of Welsh speakers, on the right is voting intention

This opinion is also a “victory” for civil procedure teachers… the procedural rules really do matter. Decided on the deficiency of the complaint, which unfortunately can be amended…https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/19/trump-nyt-lawsuit-judge-ruling?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... a brief statement of claim is required apparently. A lengthy rant won't do. You'd think his lawyers would have known that.

what to do if you want your family court judgment published - new post on the up to date position on judges publishing. Although Google will find the guidance for you, it's a circuitous task if you try the Judiciary website.

I keep thinking the housing 'crisis' isn't sustainable because most young people can't afford to buy or in many places, rent. But it just carries on getting worse

Any lawyers (or people with access to legal databases) able to do me a favour and look up when an English civil case was last listed? Would be very easy if you're a property/commercial lawyer!

Even amazing lawyers can't change the fact that deceased individuals (or their estates) cannot bring defamation lawsuits.

Melania's sent 3 small children in a trench coat on the state visit rather than coming herself

Robert Redford: the incandescently handsome star who changed Hollywood forever

Hilarious response in the @telegraphnews.bsky.social to this video, riddled with inaccuracies (whoever said anything about death squads?!) I’ve submitted a complaint about falsehoods & requested an op-Ed for right of reply - which was, of course, not offered to me in advance of publication🤷‍♀️

Scottish parliament to vote on scrapping legal verdict of not proven

finally www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

It melts my head that X is still used for official Government communications, and, catching up on today's news and the fact we have a foreign billionaire inciting violence on our streets, it's clearer than ever that this should end. I raised this in Parliament last week 👇

Law Commission 14th programme of law reform – and a vulnerable adults project on the horizon? The Law Commission of England & Wales published its 14th programme of law reform on 4 September - i.e. its proposed plan of work for the years ahead.  It includes ten new projects (alongside existing…

I wonder what is 'great' about the un named author who the Telegraph wants to tell us that Ed Sheeran isn't 'great'

Writer Roald Dahl and the death of his daughter Olivia to measles in 1962. Vaccines save lives. tinyurl.com/w2yrthrx

fascinating images of a complex and controversial writer. One of the heroic things he did was promoting measles vaccination because his little daughter had died of measles

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

Absolutely !!!insane!!! to me that the UK government, lobby and newspapers litigate at length every minor infraction by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted. But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this media owner. He’s not hiding, he’s telling you!

This is untrue on most major issues (though the media eıite don't know this). It is untrue on immigration in particular. Untrue on climate, on Trump, on human rights, on inciting racism. And much else

Good to see our @cujournmedcul.bsky.social study informing debates about impartiality. Be interesting to hear how Newswatch audiences think broadcasters should interpret due impartiality 👇

this candidate for Caerpilly needs a proofreader

another own goal for employment in vital services?

Problematic (to put it kindly) on so many levels. 1) there isn't really 'unfunded' research. The REF is there to allocate resources so that research is possible without a grant.

On this day in 2001 I was at the TUC in Brighton as news came through of the Twin Towers. Tony Blair was due to speak & did appear but then headed for London. A day never to be forgotten anymore than what followed

Violent crime in London has dropped by 13%—a fall of nearly 10,000 attacks a year—as the capital records its lowest homicide rate in five years. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

I heard this author on You and Yours a while ago. He was very articulate about how he & others had got defrauded by a 'publisher' so I'm guessing his books will be well written

this is a classic horror movie esp. as stars Michael Redgrave. It's said to be very disturbing. Not sure am brave enough to watch it though

Wow…the flagship Oasis secure school in Kent is closing (temporarily). This has been such a disaster. reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/2/2...
