In 2011, Jeremy Clarkson called for striking workers to be "shot in front of their families". He continued to present Top Gear for another four years.

After criticising plans to criminalise asylum seekers, Gary Linekar has lasted three days.

@sarah_batty @LeighDay_Law Well done you, Sarah!!!!!

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

Wow

@DominicRaab is a qualified solicitor.

Yet is apparently unaware that solicitors can *already* qualify to perform Crown Court advocacy.

And for some reason thinks solicitors would happily work in the conditions that have forced barristers to strike.

🚨Right guys, we have a challenge🚨
This “let’s blame Dom” story has probably been timed to push the PPE scandal articles off the front pages. We need everyone to understand what happened in court yesterday against the government.
💙Pls RT this thread.
🤞Can we hit 1000 RTs?🤞

I am a lawyer specialising in social security litigation and I am surprised by significant inaccuracy what DWP seem privately to have told the independent enquiry into JR. DWP said they have fought 73 JR cases at a substantive hearing since 2018/19, and lost just 5 of them.

Under the PCS&C Bill, a person causing “serious annoyance, distress or inconvenience” may be imprisoned for 10 years. Also, anyone who is mean, or doesn’t pass the parcel, or eats too much cake.

The financial cost to the taxpayer coupled with the emotional and psychological cost to the individual who is forced to go through gruelling the appeals process. The DWP should be hugely ashamed of the system they have created.

Please take 2 minutes to listen to Mina. Please just 2 minutes out of your day. 🙏🏾

Funny how it’s the Primark and TK Maxx queues that go viral on social media and not Waitrose and L.K. Bennett. Almost as if Britain’s class prejudice sees the working class as stupid and fair game to mock.

A mother of four young children has issued a legal case against the Government after the benefit cap cancelled out an increase in Universal Credit intended to help families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic

The extraordinary Paul Robeson - actor, singer and socialist - was born #OnThisDay in 1898.
He was a great friend to the mining community in Britain and the working class around the world. Here he sings the song Joe Hill for miners during a visit to Britain in 1949 ↓

When all this is over let’s remember who looked out for us. And who didn’t.

If everyone who is grateful for NHS staff right now followed and retweeted, we would reach a million by midnight.

It will take just two seconds to do, and you can help us share important information that could help save lives.

Court dismisses government appeals against 2 judgments in challenges brought by TP & AR, represented by Tessa Gregory, Carolin Ott & @Lucycadd, which found severely disabled people moved onto Universal Credit were unlawfully discriminated against

So it’s really interesting how Cummings was very willing to go through the phone of Javid’s aide and sack her on the basis of private messages, but now that it’s *their* communications that are due to be released, No 10 are suddenly up in arms about the value of privacy 🤔
