What is the value of care to our cities, to our nations, to our world? Is caring a concept discarded upon entering adulthood, or is it an essential and integral characteristic of humanity? @Graeber_social @davidgraeber #seminarofcare

For me it's the way this so nakedly sacrifices the basic right of the public not to be made ill by our environment to corporate greed.

Esp troubling to see ruling that workers present to fulfil LA obligations of care need not necessarily be paid NMW as LA obligation would seem to suggest the need for care for that period was more that precautionary (ie seems a very strict def of "work" vs "available for work")

[Jason Braier @JasonBraier]

25/ (i) That Mencap were contractually obliged to have a worker present so that the local authority were meeting their statutory obligations - hence simply by being present, Mrs T-B was carrying out a valuable working function & was working rather than merely available for work.

[Iz @Iz_Saunders]

Really worth reading this analysis 👇- as noted the reasoning of the Mencap judgement suggests pay-related stormclouds on the horizon for all kinds of workers, completely aside from the implications for the social care sector

[Jason Braier @JasonBraier]

1/ The Supreme Court has held in Tomlinson-Blake & Shannon (let's give them due credit when referencing this case) has dismissed the appeals of 2 sleep-in shift workers arguing those shifts should count for national minimum wage purposes. #ukemplaw https://t.co/z4ZOMj3CCX

For me "she was just walking home" misses the point. There is absolutely nothing, not a single thing that justifies gender based violence.

The idea that only good behaviour warrants protection or human rights is concerning. Human rights are not conditional.

Are all the MPs criticising the policing of the #ReclaimTheStreets vigil tonight going to vote against the imminent #policingbill in parliament which would increase police powers to clamp down on protest? https://t.co/Yfy5Oyy9pJ

[Iz @Iz_Saunders]

Dismayed how much #SarahEverard comment is on how she took precautions and still wasn't safe - understand why but it underlines how closely reactions are tied to a perception of not living a "high risk lifestyle", and pushes survivors not perpetrators to dissect their behaviour

[Iz @Iz_Saunders]

Extremely jarring to see Cressida Dick describe attacks like #SarahEverard as "rare" in contrast to 👇legal cases but also the visible weight of could-be-cases that never make it to legal record - in slight despair at the Met downplaying a frustratingly well-known justice issue

[Merry VW @merryVW]

Being a criminal barrister, I am perhaps not as shocked as others by the Sarah Everard attack. But watching Cressida Dick say such attacks are ‘rare’ was greeted with a raised eyebrow. I have worked on cases in London of the most horrific attacks on women on London’s streets /
