Be under no illusion: this is a significant victory for everyone who stuck their neck out and defended jury trials, day after day, clause by clause. But it is not a comprehensive victory. Magistrates should not be allowed to send people to prison for two years.

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

A summation of the situation where people are directed to focus their ire at fraudulent benefit claimants rather than at the rich who are the cause of all poverty.

One in five children infected in the recent London measles outbreak were reportedly hospitalised. Don’t believe the anti-vaxxers when they say “it’s a mild disease” or “it’s better to get immunity naturally”. It isn’t.

The consequence of this is that local municipal authorities have ended up having to process one of the biggest consultations they've ever had to deal with, over a fucking outdoor swimming pool, at great expense, to find out that the majority of people do not support transphobia.

The Modern Slavery Act was a Theresa May (broken clock moment) creation. It contains all the tools and obligations to tackle MS at the root. It relies on treating victims as victims. This is the problem, though. That is seen as a dodge by police etc so they get low hanging fruit, not bosses.

Once upon a time there was a prohibition. Some claimed it was justified by things we could not be told, others insisted it was right in principle. But many said it was one of the most illiberal and misconceived prohibitions they had ever seen. And in practice the prohibition was very daft indeed.

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.

The result of the votes of my fellow criminal barristers on #Leveson solidifies my firmly held belief that my colleagues prize real justice and fairness over themselves, over their careers and over budgets and money and makes me really proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these wonderful people.

I have experienced this already over the last fortnight. It made no difference to me or to the way the trial proceeded. It does make a difference to those who cannot stand, who then get singled out for failing to do so. Acknowledging that disabled or frail people exist harms nobody.

Happy Bridge of Spies day everyone! On 10 February 1962, Rudolf Abel and Francis Gary Powers crossed the Glienicke Bridge in Berlin in a key Cold War spy swap. Honourable mention to Frederick Pryor, a student released at Checkpoint Charlie at the same time.

I have many thoughts and feelings today, but the words to express them elude me. So I choose to defer to the late, great Janey Godley.

The best way to know if an author or artist you love is secretly a terrible person is... you can't. There are no magic tricks here. Awful people who successfully manage to be awful for years are good at hiding the fact they are awful. All the average person can do is deal on a case by case basis

Meet the destroyer HMS Glowworm. In April 1940 she was forced to fight the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper, ten times her size, and Hipper's destroyer escorts. Her extraordinary last stand earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of WW2. In part because THE GERMANS nominated him for one /1 🧵

I'm not sure a review is actually needed. The CJS needs money - it has been chronically underfunded for years. If the government want to stop the criminal courts being in crisis then they need to cough up the cash for the system to work properly. Anything else is just kicking the can down the road.

I am following advice on here to post something so followers know who they’re getting. So I’ll say this. I still have impostor syndrome after more than 20 years in my job. The only difference is that I care less about whether colleagues, opponents or judges will like or approve of me.

A small story for you, Bluesky, in my occasional series of Things that Happen in London. So my daughter (just turned 17) and two friends were on a late train the other night. Also present: an exceedingly drunk lady returning from Taylor Swift, snoozing in the opposite seat. /1
