Bit belated but - as will be obvious to anyone who I've spoken to recently - I am over the moon to have joined my dream chambers as a tenant!

[5RB Barristers @5RB]

5RB welcomes Samuel Rowe as our 34th tenant, following successful completion of his third-six pupillage. We also bid fond farewell to Desmond Browne CBE KC, our former Head of Chambers of 19 years, who is retiring after 54 years in Chambers:

I’ve reflected on the Judicial Review judgment on the Met’s use of live facial recognition (LFR). The judgement is clear but will be appealed. (1/2)

Important judgment on the use of 1:many facial recognition tech by the Metropolitan Police Service (and forces more widely, where forces are relying on a similar policy document)

Excellent reporting from @GeorgeGreenwood - v pleased to have been able to help get this info out into the open

[George Greenwood @GeorgeGreenwood]

Reform MP James McMurdock told the media he was jailed for "pushing" his former partner in 2006 earlier this year.

Court records obtained by The Times say the sentence was given for repeatedly kicking her, due to "the serious nature of the offence”.

For Black History Month, I want to highlight Black bookshops including New Beacon Books, the UK’s 1st Black bookshop. Back in 2021, owners said they’d be closing their doors due to financial constraints but people raised over £70k to keep them open. Check them out all year round

[sam rowe @samuelrowe]

Blake himself failed to persuade the court he should be anonymised during the trial! Begs the Q of whether a presumption would have any practical effect, given the weighty public interest in public reporting of the case once the CPS has charged a firearms officer w/ murder

Highly recommend the residential advocacy training weekend. Training from some of the Inn's finest, outlandish anecdotes from Benchers, and (if this is your thing) a chance to meet the monarch

Particular big ups to @AllisonCGardner and @TufnellHenry for winning Stoke South and Mid and South Pembrokeshire. I know they’ll give everything for their constituents and will fight for a better, fairer society for all of us

Even the wet weather can’t put a dampener on today. Bun the Tories. Up the Labour.
