Lawyers ask their clients to write reviews of them for Legal 500. Legal 500 usually curate these into positive reviews of members of the profession. It seems this time that a lot of the more negative comments from clients have ended up being published...

I don't fancy joining Legal 500 in the defamation suits to follow by republishing some of this stuff haha

Some of the screenshots I have seen are just... wow. I expect they will be getting at least some defamation actions threatened against them.

So, Legal 500 has seemingly accidentally published a bunch of highly disparaging comments about members of the legal profession in their reviews this year, and now this is the state of the website.

Makes me really sad that the sectarian hatred of the Orange Order has made Protestants feel the need to speak out in this way. These bigots should not be able to paint themselves as representatives of whole communities.

If anyone is in touch with any of the local trans inclusive safe spaces orgs around the country can you reach out to them and ask if they would be willing to speak to me over the next day or so please. I have opened my DMs.

I wish I were a spooky queer. I am, instead, mostly a seasonal depression queer.

Just wanted to say I have been listening to the audiobook on the Anglo Saxons during my commute and you are a wonderfully engaging writer whilst retaining a delightful level of academic nuance and detail. Look forward to reading this, too!

Reminds me of GCs over here who wish to treat a single court ruling as definitive of absolute moral victory with which everyone else must now comply

Yes sorry I was too depressed by all of this to engage with the sarcasm

Seems pretty clear from the interview that it's not something the Order are going to accept.

Can people on the left stop backing this incredibly antisemitic man please. Thanks.

TransActual partnered with @scottishtrans.bsky.social and @transsolidarity.bsky.social to bring messages from this month’s Mass Lobby for Trans Equality to the Labour conference in Liverpool, and to ask the party: what now for our standing on LGBTQ+ rights?

Think mass harassment by idiot football fans and targeting by serious criminals involve different types of risk and are probably addressed by different types of mitigations.

Named individuals who can be targeted vs whole firms of people are different kettles of fish.

Glad to see you saying this, worried I might have been overstating it.

Tbh it was a good speech and I would really like to be able to back the man, I just need him to have a decent position on our human rights obligations. Which is also a necessary component of any future relationship with the EU.

This looks a teensy weensy little bit like potentially criminal fraud...

Yes, am only grieving for my curiosity, obviously a sensible decision.

Counsel redacted! What a shame.

Am still of the view that changing the electoral system specifically without a mandate via manifesto/referendum is super constitutionally sketchy, especially given AV ref result – but yes certainly there are other big things they could do which aren't in manifesto.

210

That's true of some things but not loads of massive policies. You don't really have time/capacity to use the Parliament Acts for a whole bunch of stuff.

The removal of the triple lock is both good and necessary.

I don't think the options are free or just like a private pension scheme. Just think as someone who has personally had to pay a couple hundred quid out of pocket more than once to make sure I qualify, you can see why I think "free" isn't wholly accurate.

110

It's free at the point of use, like the NHS, but it's conditional on contributions or credits, and a large part of the purpose of NI is in fact to pay for it. Just not your own individual pot. When my earnings have been short of NI I have paid the additional NI contribution to have a qual year.

You need 10 qualifying years of national insurance contributions, though?

Yeah I agree on the early election thing but would probs also be silly to have winter election. They might wait to see how mood is for one next spring. Have already said I would announce a bunch of very spendy policies at budget to increase popularity.
