I’m going to be insufferable whether I get Oasis tickets or not. It’s up to the universe whether it’s a happy insufferable or a grumpy insufferable

If you struggle with the idea that 24 people sitting on 2 separate juries could reach different conclusions about narrow facts then I have some incredibly bad news for you about the alternatives to jury trial.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

I want my tax money used to pay junior doctors properly.

I’m happy to pay the extra £17 per year to restore their pay to 2008 levels.

Now do your f’ing job Sunak and give the people what they actually want!

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

This is not due to a lack of care from NHS staff.

There are no strikes today.

This is 13 years of the Conservative government.

Our hearts break for everyone who has suffered and continues to suffer as a result.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

This is devastating.

We have record backlogs in the criminal courts, in particular in cases involving Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (RASSO).

There is already a severe shortage of RASSO prosecutors, causing further delays.

And nearly *two thirds* are intending to quit.

"i'm just a girl" okay well you still have court tomorrow so

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

This is the natural consequence of the rhetoric of government ministers and their media supporters who have dishonestly, and for cheap political gain, sought to demonise lawyers for representing unpopular clients.

Please stop endangering us for doing our jobs.

[Cobden House @cobden_house]

@DefenceFaithful “He seemed very high rate”

[Katherine Wright @kgwright199]

“Anyone got any ideas to distract the public from the huge mess we’ve made of British politics? We only used increased sentencing powers and banning XL bullies quite recently though so needs to be something different…”

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

Following today’s announcement, this could be the last photo of a politician pointing at a pothole.

We’re investing £8 billion to improve your local roads and fix potholes for the long term.

[Mollie Goodfellow @hansmollman]

I no longer have imposter syndrome

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Your reminder that soft-on-crime @RishiSunak and his colleagues have created a record backlog in the criminal courts through their deliberate programme of defunding and mismanagement. “Tougher sentences” are meaningless when cases can’t get to trial and the prisons are full.

[Kevin Bamber @kevinj2812]

In Lancashire our Magistrates trials are now being fixed over 10 to 12 months in the future . Trials are being vacated regularly . Reason being lack of suitably qualified Legal Advisers following mass exodus to CPS for better pay and conditions. Preston Magistrates closed due

[CrimeLine @CrimeLineLaw]

Senior Presiding Judge, Edis LJ, has asked judges to adjourn, from next week, the sentencing of offenders who are on bail where custody is likely to be imposed. The prison estate is full.
