Trump is so predictable:

Step 1 — Create artificial crisis.

Step 2 — Make phone call.

Step 3 — Announce end of crisis.

Step 4 — Declare victory.

It’s time for Labour to stop rearranging their pens and fiddling with the paper clips.

The Honeymoon period is over.

With liberals like these, who needs fascists.

“I’m always wary of men who declare themselves feminists. I believe them in the same way I believe people who make a point of insisting they aren’t racist.” My @PJOpinion on the culture that enabled Russell Brand and how men might try to change it: https://t.co/hw64EbMDxf

A typically unerringly sensible thread.

“We fall into error if we think that the criminal process is the only arbiter of whether someone has done something wrong.”

Another day of cringing as a section of tinfoil Twitter butchers the meaning of terms like ‘evidence’, ‘innocence’ and ‘guilt’. I don’t mess with your conspiracy theories, lads, so please leave my words alone.

A man who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

I’m just a defence lawyer here to tell you that 99% of kids caught with Nitrous Oxide won’t go anywhere near a prison. They will get a fine. But, more importantly, they’ll get a criminal record that will likely impact their job prospects.

Standing ovation for Suella Braverman.

For the complexity, length, seriousness and unique horror of this trial, this represents astonishingly good value for the taxpayer.

The fair trial and conviction of a serial child murderer is worth paying for, and we all owe a debt of gratitude to all of the lawyers involved.

I am rather impatient to know the fate of my best gown.

@bheegibiIIi My friend Emily was afraid of everything. She achieved perfect balance. She was afraid of staying inside and going outside. She was afraid of friends and afraid of being alone. She did everything because it didn't matter. The constant fear was like faraway bees on a summer's day.

I wish you a nice Sunday, kind parents, good food, long walks and thoughts free of worries.

“Except fund the criminal justice system.”

5 year delays for rape cases to be tried.

Record backlogs.

Record delays.

@RishiSunak and his ministers are taking the public for fools.

[Tristan Kirk @kirkkorner]

This is scarcely believable. But also rather common these days.

A defendant is charged with multiple rapes, sexual assaults, false imprisonment & threats to kill.

He appears for the first time in court not in custody, or even on bail, but having got a letter in the post.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

One of the dimmer MPs in a poorly-illuminated field has hit upon the ingenious idea of making zombie knives even *more* illegal than they already are.

Truly we are in a golden age of criminal justice policy.
