The independence of the judiciary is vital to the rule of law. Judges, by the nature of their role, cannot respond to personal criticism as politicians often can.
That makes it especially important that public debate, however robust, is conducted in a way that remains fair and respectful.

Excited to hear the ChEx announce a ring-fencing of preventative spending in the next Spending Review. I've been arguing for this for 15 years, and call for it my book Bad Government as part of rewiring the Treasury toward prevention and investment in the longer-term..🧵
I am delighted that a new Luton Neighbourhood Watch scheme is being launched this evening.
Working with the police and local authority, this community initiative will be the eyes and ears for residents and businesses across Luton. It will help prevent crime and support tackling crimes.
It is a fine example of community activism.
My thanks to everyone involved in this new venture.

EU Freedom of Movement is NOT an unconditional right under EU law: it is conditional on finding a job or being self-sufficient i.e. not being a burden on taxpayers. Otherwise they have no right to stay.
