tell me about it

outrageous conduct from the toddler who just waddled up to a random person and, with slight menace and intense eye contact, asked ‘do you know the muffin man?’

oh HELLO my friend, DAG 👋

This is the most extraordinary judgment I’ve read all year. If there was not about to be a reshuffle - I suspect it might have been a resigning matter for the Attorney General. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/r-...

exactly

just confidently told someone that if you win the World Cup you get to host it and they quietly said ‘that’s Eurovision’

The heat has convinced me that they should let barristers wear shorts.

Just reading your website announcement, JMKC. Maybe I’ve missed something (?) but what is the relevance of the claimant’s solicitor having other, presumably separate, clients?

Ha! I’m here! 👋

Another patient, antiphonal & contemporary BBCFreeThinking — on crime & punishment. Even the edgy silences speak @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social talks to @stephemmabrown.bsky.social , @scouttzofiya.bsky.social, @joannahs.bsky.social, Stephen Shapiro, Jonathan Sumption www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Be brave, guys. This is it. Politics. This is what you wanted. Here you are. And here it is. An issue. That matters. And your chance - to do the right thing. If any Labour MP wants to talk about how we really shorten the backlog & how we really help victims - I’ll talk to you.

Backbench MPs should be asking themselves: am I willing to be a vehicle for this? What is my job here? Is it to do as I’m told? Or am I more important than that? Is *this* more important than that? Was I elected to do this? Was *this* in our manifesto? And is there any evidence it will work?

It’s *classic* Starmer to use the dying vapours of his evaporating authority to panic-run the dismal policy of restricting jury trials. How fitting for a former lawyer: one last go, one final verdict, one more time. And how fitting if it was the verdict that finished him off.

Thanks @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social for brilliantly hosting Free Thinking - Crime and Punishment, Medieval to Modern with @stephenshapiro.bsky.social, @joannahs.bsky.social, @scouttzofiya.bsky.social, Jonathan Sumption and me. If you missed it, catch up on BBC Sounds ⬇️

🙏

Great to see @joannahs.bsky.social on #politicslive educating politicians on the reality of jury trials and the world criminal lawyers, who should be getting investment ( and medals) not token attacks on our rights ...

I know right. Nearly spat out my tea.
