@reformparty_uk @grok is this threat to punish opposition constituencies legal?

@thegameverse @grok what game is this? Is it on pc?

@delphis_Wang @Matt_Pinner Seconded. Spellbinding and terrifying.

@AlanMakMP @Conservatives I think that was you and Brexit, Alan.

@MaxJLHardy Bringing two ferns into court with you?

[Alexander Learmonth KC @alearmonth]

@MaxJLHardy I had the same thought today. Every answer begins by telling you what a wonderful question you’ve asked and how your previous suggestions are marvellous. It is probably trying to curry favour!

[Robert Howard @ProfRobHoward]

We shouldn’t trivialise and stigmatise mental health diagnoses. It’s enough to just say that Trump is just a terrible person.

@philosophybites This was absolutely my favourite book in the Ethics module I took as part of my jurisprudence degree. Thanks for reminding me of its virtues!

@Arron_banks Non-politician? Really?
And you can’t just accuse the council of fraud and corruption without evidence

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Kamala Harris told us exactly what was going to happen.

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵

[Alexander Learmonth KC @alearmonth]

@SuellaBraverman I’m going to bet every single one of these examples has been significantly distorted from the truth.

[Alexander Learmonth KC @alearmonth]

@SuellaBraverman Suella, you need to base your policies on evidence. The evidence shows longer custodial sentences do not act as deterrent, nor do they help rehabilitate - quite the opposite. Listen to this year’s Reith lectures.

[White Paper @White_Paper_Co]

This February, our Contentious Probate 2025 conference is taking place at @CalClubLondon.

A pertinent and ongoing issue that many legal professionals encounter several times throughout their career.

I’m leaving X now. Musk is either evil or insane and either way he’s dangerous. You can find me on LinkedIn if you’re a colleague or on Facebook if you know me socially. (Very tempted to leave Facebook too, mind.)
