@WendyPettifer @HackneyLawCentr Thanks Wendy. But you were one of the pioneers. I keep this in mind.

[Diane Morrison @dianemorrison66]

Was caught in a 2-hour stranglehold with the 'commerciality' of tenancies at the Tribunal today. Quite a workout even for a long-term distance runner. Eventually, we got the best outcome @HackneyLawCentr....again.

[Diane Morrison @dianemorrison66]

Yes. Its the #LondonLegalWalk 2023. Waiting for @HackneyLawCentr colleagues to make their way down. The legal fraternity turned out in force.

@JOgilvieHarris @scanning1964 @Kimmy241 @kplong1 @berimboke @BeyaRivers @lily_flashman @natashacollett @MarcinBrajta @MirandaGrell @LawCentres @ndphmathews Hey J. You have left big boots to fill.

And for those looking for a challenge, @HackneyLawCentr is hiring to replace my welfare benefits caseworker role: https://t.co/TxcIYmaW29. This is a fantastic opportunity for those interested in public law, human rights and social justice in the context of social security.

[Diane Morrison @dianemorrison66]

@MirandaGrell Don't chicken out. Run-walk-run. Just start.😉

Just attended top quality training from @DoughtyStreet on recent judgments and their implications in practice for those of us at the coalface of Social Security law. Glad I'm not the only one simply ignored by the @DWP. #socialsecurity #welfarestate #advice @LawCentres

@AudreySuffolk @HackneyLawCentr @LawCentres Hi Audrey. I'm sure your stoicism in the good fight is equally noted.

[Diane Morrison @dianemorrison66]

It's 18 years ago today that I started work at @HackneyLawCentr. An amazing lot happened since, including becoming a solicitor, delivering hundreds of hours of # frontline #legaladvice and achieving a #lawsociety excellence award too. Thanks to lots of decent people. @LawCentres

[Diane Morrison @dianemorrison66]

@MattHowgate @HackneyLawCentr @LawCentres Thank you. But new sources of energy needed too.

[Diane Morrison @dianemorrison66]

@jf_sherman Hi Joanna. Thank you.

[Diane Morrison @dianemorrison66]

@MirandaGrell @MayorofLondon @TfL Oh yes we do! We not only commute for fun, we pay for it. Upgrade to Camden Town Overground and you will lose count of how many times you're disappointed. @TfL.

My client finally gets paid £12,237 in backdated Universal credit following a tribunal appeal. But why did it need a threat of court proceedings for this to happen? LASPO cuts won't stop us all you SSWP twits! @DWP #SocialJustice #socialsecurity #welfarestate @LawCentres

Today at @HMD_UK’s portrait exhibition in Parliament, I had the privilege of meeting the Holocaust survivor John Hajdu MBE and the teddy bear he fled the Nazis with when he was 7 years old.

It was so moving to hear his story and see the toy that has been with him all this time.

Even a small reduction in mowing - including public spaces like parks, road islands and roadverges - can boost wildlife & wildflowers, help pollinating insects, and save money. An easy way to give nature a chance. RT if you're on board for helping the bees and butterflies 🐝

[Diane Morrison @dianemorrison66]

@JOgilvieHarris Thought you were laying low on this one until the time to appeal expired? Great result though.
