@dignityindying I hope someone is investigating why he was denied access to his documents. It doesn’t help Julie & Paul now, but may help others to know everyone has the right to access their GP records (GP records contain hospital letters & notes): https://t.co/hpipXKxX78

Please sign this petition to get this issue debated in parliament: Legalise assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults https://t.co/bnPD1XwEZ7

@Graz_Jakomini It’s disingenuous, but as that’s yours I’ll also offer ‘egregious’.

[Crown Prosecution Service @CPSUK]

⚖️ We're seeking views on a proposed update to legal guidance on homicide, to assist prosecutors considering the public interest when dealing with suspects in deaths arising out of failed suicide pacts and so called ‘mercy killings’.

Provide your feedback 👇

Please RT if you would like me to consider standing against @Jacob_Rees_Mogg again, as an independent for one term only. As before, I would step aside if a better unity candidate emerges, or if @UKLabour & @LibDems decide to fight each other & I would only further split the vote.

Thought I’d see what the fuss was about, like it!! Wordle 209 4/6

Saying 'respect' in court can in fact mean the opposite, a new study by @WrightDW, @jezrobson, @NatalieBraber and @Edwards_JH shows 👩‍⚖️

The word can indicate disrespect and undermine the professional competence of other lawyers. Read more about the @ntuhum study below 👇

@jezrobson He could be both. And too venal.

“Just weeks before 20 May, a 13-year-old boy had died alone in hospital … his family were also unable to attend his funeral because they were adhering to isolation regulations. Every single person at the Downing Street party would have known that story”. https://t.co/jMAppRydd2

@Lizziesaurus @CrimeLineLaw With the greatest respect (😉) it’s one thing to know something “forever”, but another thing to adduce evidence, examine and prove it.

@NTUNews @JeremyRobson9 @WrightDW @jezrobson @ntuhum With respect, NTU Press Office, there were four authors including me and @NatalieBraber 🙂

@chizzyakudolu @2HareCourt @TheLadyBrief I think I taught Nneka on her BVC 20 years ago! She started impressively too. Huge congratulations Nneka!

[Helen Murray-Edwards @Edwards_JH]

@jezrobson Happy Christmas Eve Eve though 😊

[Helen Murray-Edwards @Edwards_JH]

@phil_rumney Lots of love to you both. I know it’s frightening; it’s love that counts xx

I didn’t feel I had cancer. I had cancer. If I hadn’t fought incredibly hard for a follow up appointment in 2020 when it was cancelled due to pressure on the NHS, I might not have survived. This is the reality. The NHS is being overwhelmed & desperately needs more resources - now

[Jonathan Lis @jonlis1]

There’s a really simple question here. If the government accepts that people have the right to claim asylum - which under international law they absolutely do - how does it propose that they come here to apply for it?

[Helen Murray-Edwards @Edwards_JH]

@GazWeetman Worth it though. Great pics 😹

[Helen Murray-Edwards @Edwards_JH]

@melaniecrofts @CitizensAdvice Congratulations, sounds great! 😊

In a world with decency, shame and consequences the head of the Met would resign. If they didn’t, the Home Secretary would fire them. And if the Home Secretary refused, the PM would remove the Home Secretary. That’s in a world with decency, shame and consequences.

@secondhusk @SarahSurgey1 Is that Christian Bale?!
