@L_Wastell@spectator@ASCphiled@jtworr I can't read your paywalled article, but your screenshot is an excellent summary of why the Equality Act is so important, because without it the issues you discuss would be legal and those affected would have had no redress. Repeal is nonsensical.
$236 billion in illegal profits from forced labour yearly! Our new podcast explores this abuse as a major economic issue, highlighting the exploitation of 28 million people.

It was a real pleasure to speak to the Public Bill Committee on the Employment Rights Bill today. The Bill constitutes a vital rebalancing measure in the UK labour market, which I hope will attract a measure of political and tripartite consensus as the process develops.
Nothing can justify the persistence of these human rights abuses in today’s world.
On International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, let's recall that we can and must do better.

🧵SSBT v Mercer: Supreme Court issues declaration of incompatibility re the lack of protection from sanction short of dismissal for workers taking part in strike action. The current position breaches Art 11 ECHR.

@AudreySuffolk Crowdfunding probably not, unless some clear link between conduct of proceedings and party providing funding, but Good Law Project and similar organisations who actively participate in litigation while also supporting the cause of the litigation should certainly consider this.
The judgment from this case is well worth reviewing in full for anyone with an interest in belief discrimination cases, but at 77 pages, if you want a streamlined summary of the key points to keep you going, then do please have a look at my article on the Cloisters website.
Judgment was handed down today in the EAT case of Omooba. Chris Milsom and Tom Coghlin KC of Cloisters successfully resisted the appeal on behalf of the Respondents. The judgment includes important guidance for belief discrimination cases ➡️ https://t.co/6TTV4b5lh3
‘He’s given our capital city away to his mates.’
This is really appalling rhetoric.
I mean, just say it Lee: because he’s a Muslim his only ‘mates’ are going to be Muslims too.
And they’re all going to be fanatical.
This is straight Islamophobic

Over the past year we've uncovered how the UK's seasonal worker visa is riddled with exploitation.
Today we can reveal that the Home Office knew workers were being mistreated, failed to investigate & then tried to stop the allegations from coming to light

Think about this - 156 PAGES of new law without pre-legislative or Commons scrutiny. @UKHouseofLords will do its best as always but this sort of behaviour treats Parliament with contempt … /1
Delighted to have commenced pupillage at @CloistersLaw Chambers today.
Looking forward to working with and learning from the exceptional advocates at Cloisters; it is genuinely a dream come true.
Appeal is a tiny charity achieving remarkable results. But it is forced to turn away many deserving cases simply because it doesn't have the resources to give them the attention they deserve.
