There are times when I am so grateful crowdfunding exists. Case in point, @carolecadwalla is being sued for libel by Arron Banks. He is very rich and allegedly very crooked. She is very neither.

It is bitterly disappointing that after a victory in the Lords the government have voted down my amendment in the Commons. What could be more humane than asking that unaccompanied child refugees stranded in Europe be able to join relatives in this country?

I see it’s the official season of trashing Legal Aid. Like clockwork.

The arrogance of some of that criticism is breathtaking.

A thread.

Victory in the High Court for asylum seeking victims of #trafficking. Home Office acted unlawfully in reducing their payments. Home Office has been ordered to reverse financial cuts. Back-dated payments are likely to exceed £1 million

[Silvia Nicolaou @silvia_eirini]

Challenge to the Home Office’s reduction of financial support to victims of #trafficking to be heard next week in the High Court @sereni_anna @e_smith_ @GardenCtPublic @matrixchambers @WilsonsLondon
