@BristolRefugeeR@HelenBamber@Care4Calais@RAMFELCharity @wlondonwelcome for supporting the claim. Our @JohnCrowley4 acting. More to follow.
The two-child limit & benefit cap are poverty-producing policies, which fail to meet their original aims.
Findings from our @NuffieldFound study out today https://t.co/ukeOVGl9aX
Sad this is now timely for all the wrong reasons.

🚨BREAKING: The Government has suffered a major defeat as the High Court rules that its “strike-breaking” agency worker regulations are unlawful.
The important judgement means employers can no longer use agency staff to fill in for striking workers during industrial action.
Do the police owe potential victims a duty to warn?
In the latest episode of @LawPod_UK, Rosalind English and @5Essex's Conor Monighan discuss a recent High Court ruling with serious implications for all public authorities.

🗣️GREAT NEWS🗣️
The amendment to maintain the 72-hour time limit on the detention of pregnant women has PASSED in the House of Lords.
This small but vital amendment will protect pregnant women and their unborn babies from the harms of indefinite detention.
1/🧵
A useful application of the landmark case of RR v SSWP [2019] UKSC 52, even if (or maybe especially because) it was in the First-tier Tribunal.
Also a helpful example of using exceptional case funding in benefits cases.
