@sarahsackman @MoJGovUK @ShabanaMahmood Brilliant news, Sarah, and good luck! Looking forward to working with you.

Law Centres are fighting on two fronts: to meet people's needs and to keep operating despite adverse funding and operating conditions.
As Zelensky said in 2022, the fight is here: I need ammunition, not a ride.

[Law Centres Network @LawCentres]

Law Centres are a lifeline to people struggling with #poverty. Their services are in historically high demand, and provide great return on investment. Why does government support fall short? Discover more in this week's @lawsocgazette magazine cover story: https://t.co/sN6REXOKiN

Well done, @hammersmithandy, and good luck in your new role!

It is with a heavy heart we share the news that @HF_LawCentre solicitor, Simon Mullings, has died.

Simon embodied everything it meant to be a Law Centre lawyer. He was adored by his colleagues and his friends. His untimely death is a huge loss to us all.

The trouble is, you think you have time.

"The consequences [of #LegalAid cuts] have been disastrous."

@FightBach is the Chair of @CALSfreeadvice, our new Law Centre in Leicester. Thanks, Lord Bach, and Baroness Chakrabarti, for fighting our corner in yesterday's #KingsSpeech debate on justice. (1/6) 🧵

One by one, these reports support the new government's claim that things really are worse than what they'd thought.. 😱

[National Audit Office @NAOorguk]

We completed work on 13 value for money reports during the pre-election period.

We are now publishing these reports at the earliest opportunity in the new Parliamentary session.

@vickyfewkes What were the chances? I didn't know they let ships this big that far up the river.

Oh hello! The things you find on your morning walk, in this case obscuring bits of Deptford. "It's life, Jim, but not as we know it."

@sarahsackman @ShabanaMahmood Besha'a tova, Sarah. Congratulations to you all.

[Nimrod B. @niminally]

@LALYawards @KarenPBuckQP Congratulations, Karen! 🎉

[Nimrod B. @niminally]

So happy to see these two brilliant women recognised with honours: Dame @KarenPBuckQP, a dedicated public servant and @APPGJustice chair; and Sue Bent OBE, until recently chief exec of @CE_LawCentre and all-round inspirational leader. So richly deserved - congratulations to both!

[Nimrod B. @niminally]

@AnneIsReading Thanks, Anne! It was actually a cool 12 degrees, so just up my street.

[Nimrod B. @niminally]

There are worse ways to end the morning walk on a work-from-home day. I'm sure there are.

2/2 Just how bad is the #housing #LegalAid situation? The red areas (most of England+Wales) have no local provider. When you find one, they're oversubscribed. Neglecting access to #justice lets bad practice go on hurting people in need! @SammyGecsoyler

"This behaviour by councils is almost certainly unlawful, but devastating cuts to #LegalAid mean that homeless people cannot access the legal representation they need": @HousingActionSL tells it like it is - a #justice crisis worsening a #housing crisis, widening displacement 1/2

[The Guardian @guardian]

Councils move hundreds of homeless families out of London with 24-hour ultimatums https://t.co/VO8TQfZ5aT

[Nimrod B. @niminally]

The weakening of people's trust in the rule of law - indeed, of the rule of law itself - does not come out of nowhere. Policymakers have become too chill about creating a system allowing 'the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must'.

What does it mean to have world-leading’ courts if they are increasingly giving up hearing ordinary cases involving ordinary people? My law column for @TheCriticMag. https://t.co/qmKZSYdSLV
