Barrister. Occasional law tweet but mainly here for the cricket and Southampton FC.

@tmsproducer @ZaltzCricket @bbctms is this the first England XI to contain four occupations (Cox, Archer, Fisher, Baker) and four verbs (Root, Brook, Rew (misspellings allowed), Tongue)? I am unable to do anything with Duckett, Gay or Bethell, sorry.

Saints go marching on to Wembley. Deservedly. Wanted it more. Tonda Eckert and his Southampton players have done the club and the FA Cup proud. Not only for knocking out favourites Arsenal. But the way they did it. Fearless, quick and threatening in transition, together. #SOUARS

@RestIsPolitics I think I’ve just heard @RoryStewartUK (question time, 5:30) call the CPS the Crown Prostitution Service. Is this why I pay my taxes?

@higgs_u @englandcricket I haven’t studied the Quran but I’m aware it’s not the only holy book that incites religious violence. I don’t hold any of them in high regard. Do you?

@WendyPuerto @englandcricket Propaganda for what, Wendy?

@superblues7655 @englandcricket Hello @superblues7655. Sorry for the delay in responding. Have I somehow upset you?

Naivety about the quality of this league meant we stuck with players who got us promoted.Poor investment in the summer.Shocking managerial decisions on + off the pitch. Loyal fans are left with nothing but gallows humour.All we want is to enjoy watching our team again. #saintsfc

@elonmusk Extraordinary attack on a government minister of a friendly country. Suspect you hadn’t heard of her before today but @jessphillips is one of the most genuine, thoughtful and kind politicians around. This post is ignorant and inciteful. But I think you know that.

Thank you @drjuliashaw for dealing with the gavel thing - about time someone did! #BadPeople_BBC

A pleasure to contribute to @MarkelUK clinical negligence training day today at their incredible office. Also good to catch up with @JodiNewtonLaw, @MikeP_H and other old friends, and make some new ones @No5Chambers

Yer a Saint, @AaronRamsdale98! 😇

I am delighted @timmayer7 shares my view of this despicable man. So does @benino76 and pretty much all @SouthamptonFC fans. Keep up the good work @PrivateEyeNews

Rupert Lowe, the new MP for Great Yarmouth, is anything but your typical "man of the people." A landed Cotswold toff, Lowe's career spans from his days as the unpopular football chairman of Southampton FC, to his current directorship of 13 corporate entities, including co-director with Akshata Murty (aka Mrs Rishi Sunak) at Digme Fitness which went bust in 2022 after taking £630,000 in furlough cash and owing creditors – including taxpayers – £6.1m.

For the rest, including cartoons, Pseuds, Dumb Britain and all the other regulars, you’ll have to buy the magazine.

[Foundations @FoundationsWW]

We've already started funding and evaluating promising interventions, but this work needs rapid expansion and acceleration 📈⏬

The REACH Plan will require investment and collaboration from a range of partners. We are proposing that £50 million over five years should come from government investment via the next Spending Review. As Foundations, we will commit £10 million of funding over the next five years. We believe the remaining £15 million can be found through investment from research funders, and trusts and foundations.

Let's commit to this plan, rise to the challenge, and become the first country in the world to identify a set of proven approaches to preventing domestic abuse and supporting child victims.
