After criticising plans to criminalise asylum seekers, Gary Linekar has lasted three days.
Wow
@DominicRaab is a qualified solicitor.
Yet is apparently unaware that solicitors can *already* qualify to perform Crown Court advocacy.

🚨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.

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.

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 🤔
