What is the principled justification for proposing to remove the Tribunal’s power to name a placement for a child? I can’t see anything on this in the consultation paper - and we are told these proposals are driven by principle #SEND

[Steve Broach KC @SteveBroach]

Those advocating for reduced powers for the SEND Tribunal always seem to forget that it is the current extensive powers that make the Tribunal an alternative remedy to judicial review. Doubt the SoS or her officials actually want to see school placement disputes in the High Court

Here're 10 Gmail hacks that you must know:

[Darlington Nursing Union @DarlingtonUnion]

Bethany said: "For more than a year, my colleagues and I have been fighting for something so simple, so basic, that it should never have required a court case: the right for women to have safe, single‑sex spaces at work.

Today, a tribunal has confirmed what we knew from the start, that what happened to us was unlawful, and that the NHS Trust failed in its duty to protect our dignity and our safety.

This case was never about ideology for us. It was about truth, biology, fairness, and the basic protections the Equality Act was designed to uphold.

We never asked for special treatment. We asked only to be able to undress for work without a man being present.

Instead, we were told to “broaden our mindset,” to “be inclusive,” and to accept that a biological male could use the women’s changing rooms simply because he said he was a woman.

When we raised safeguarding concerns, concerns no reasonable person could dismiss, we were the ones pushed aside, belittled, and forced into a makeshift “temporary” space that was unsafe and dehumanising.

The tribunal’s ruling affirms that women’s rights cannot be overwritten by internal policies or political pressure. It affirms that our concerns were legitimate, and that the trust’s treatment of us was discriminatory and unlawful.

But this judgment must also serve as a warning.

Across the NHS, there are countless women who feel they cannot speak, who fear being labelled or punished simply for wanting the privacy and safety they are entitled to.

The Government has still not published the lawful guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. NHS leadership continues to prioritise ideological policies over the real needs of frontline staff.

Our victory today is a step forward, not just for us, but for every woman in the NHS.

We hope it gives others the courage to speak, and we urge those in authority to finally listen. Women deserve better. And we will keep standing up until they get it."

Finally, the United States is waking up 🚨

Representative Ted Lieu just drew a crystal clear red line, and it matters more than most people seem to realize.

“If any military member, from the generals on down, participates in using force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.”

That is not rhetoric. That is the law. And he is putting everyone on notice.

This is how a constitutional system is supposed to work. Civilian control. Congressional authority. No freelance militarism because a president feels impulsive or humiliated or bored. Orders that violate the Constitution are not orders. They are illegal commands, and obedience is not a defense.

What I like here is the timing. This is not said after the damage is done. It is a preemptive warning. A flare shot into the sky saying: think very carefully before you cross this line.

For years, too many people in Washington treated norms as vibes and laws as suggestions. This is a reminder that the system still has teeth if people are willing to use them. And that responsibility does not magically disappear when you put on a uniform.

More of this please. Clear boundaries. Plain language. Zero ambiguity. That is how you stop bad ideas before they turn into irreversible disasters.

Baroness O'Loan says a palliative care expert informed her that the longest ever time it had taken them to bring someone's "untreatable pain" under control in a hospice setting was 12 hours.
