While we wait to hear what Andy Burnham is going to do about curtailing the right to trial by jury, the House of Lords justice and home affairs committee is trying to find out how much of an ordeal jury service can be and whether jurors need more support. rozenberg.substack.com/p/the-trauma...
Times has now acknowledged the report misunderstood the data + misreported it bsky.app/profile/jdpo...
Jonathan PortesThe Times corrects its splash story headlined "Migrant care workers bring dozens of family members." The Times got this totally wrong. It then used its own error as the basis for an editorial calling explicitly for forced expulsions of people living here legally. www.thetimes.com/comment/regi...
Very important, and a call for evidence to which UK SHAPE (Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences) researchers are very well placed to contribute. Some good guidance on how to do so effectively here: www.ucl.ac.uk/public-polic...

This is a real shame - Patrick Vallance has been a really excellent and committed Science Minister who knew the territory and took a strategic view. Big shoes to fill
I’m very sad to see this . Ed was a wise and compassionate man and a rigorous news broadcaster.
This is very disappointing. Such an important and undervalued brief which was for years held by a succession of uninterested itinerants. A prisons minister who genuinely cared and who was starting to see results.
Cassia RowlandThe day’s first casualty: James Timpson resigns as prisons minister. This is a big surprise! Timpson had a long history as a prisons reformer before entering government and seen as one of Starmer’s more innovative & exciting appointments. He’s also delivered a big change programme in gov. So: why?

Home Office floating "compromise" on "earned settlement" reforms - settlement/ILR after 5 years, but no access to benefits until 10 years. Some thoughts..(1/4) www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

On Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights will hand down its judgment in Kiguradze v Georgia, which may have implications for the operation of Parliamentary privilege in the UK.
