A mini protest in London yesterday, reminding the world about #jointenterprise. This week the #CPS released their data on JE & we learned the true horror of this legal doctrine. 19% of the convictions are CHILDREN with four under the age of 13.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏

This was an incredibly powerful session on race and #jointenterprise - very proud to be counsel assisting this Westminster Commission

Young people convicted under joint enterprise are being convicted not for what they did but for being in the wrong place with the wrong people at the wrong time. Proud to back @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social‬'s call for urgent reform this week. #JointEnterprise

On Saturday I went to the final showing of Public Interest by @Common_WealthHQ in Bradford. A phenomenal, immersive play exploring joint enterprise laws and their devastating impact on racialised and working-class communities

The play was absolutely incredible. The audience moved through the set alongside the actors. A powerful reminder of how easily someone can get caught up in a joint enterprise case

I was especially proud to see a young person I’d worked with on another project playing a role. Watching them shine in this space was a real moment ❤️

Joint enterprise convictions are based on foresight - the idea that you should have known what would happen. It's a confusing and cruel legal doctrine.

In 2016, the Supreme Court ruled that joint enterprise had been misapplied for 30 years. They are still in prison. Groups like @jengba.bsky.social, KidsOfColour and others are unwavering in their commitment to freeing them

But as Public Interest reminds us: There are no foresight-based convictions for politicians who sell weapons used in genocide. No conspiracy charges for those who plan cuts that drive people into poverty. No prison for selling off the NHS brick by brick

I was glad to make a small contribution to the development of this play by co-facilitating a workshop on policing and the criminal justice system for CommonwealthHQ and Abolitionist Futures

This is art as resistance. Theatre as truth-telling. See it if you ever get the chance #JointEnterprise #PublicInterest #AbolitionNow

The fight continues. #jointenterpise injustice stole my child. I am not alone in the diabolical struggle to find justice. Listen to the full series of the #InItTogether #JointEnterprise Podcast, hosted by Maxine Peake, featuring families affected, ex prisoner,academics & lawyers.

Couldn’t be prouder. Sell out shows in Bradford for the #jointenterprise play #PublicInterest. Real stories of #injusticr woven into a musical extravaganza for #Bradford2025 in collaboration with @jengba.bsky.social campaigners, those wrongly convicted & their families 💙

“The terrifying thing for me is that someone will be listening right now and think everything coming out my mouth is just utter nonsense, then in about three month’s time, they'll probably ring us up and say, 'my son's been charged with murder, but he hasn't done anything’”
