"It just seems in many ways so 'not Liverpool' but then I need to accept the reality that it is because it's happening."
"It's a reinforcement that we all need to protect it and that you can't be blasé like I have and just go 'oh yeah we're not like that."
Watch in full 🚨👇

Potentially another erosion of #AccesstoJustice Every time a costs change comes in life for the Claimant seems to get harder. May well be unintentional but once again new strategies are needed to meet the challenge @nearlylegal @JohnHyde1982 @LawCentres @VLCLiverpool

Are legal aid cuts costing more money than they save by putting pressure on other parts of government?
Thanks to @MonidipaFouzder @lawsocgazette for covering a new report on the real cost of legal aid cuts, which has revealed wasted money & data gaps 👇

It is regrettable that whoever wrote this thread did so in apparent ignorance of what the law actually says.
It is really rather wildly misleading.
[THREAD 🧵]
THE SMASHED WINDOW DILEMMA
A person smashes a car window, causing the car alarm to go off and creating a public scene. The police quickly arrive and arrest the person.
During the arrest, the person tries to explain their motive for breaking the window. 🧵 1/9
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Court of Appeal has ruled that breaking a car window to save a child can constitute a defence to criminal damage. Thus, evidence of this would be admissible: para 45 of judiciary.uk/judgments/atto…
Protest is not a defence to non-trivial criminal damage, so evidence of this isn't admissible. judiciary.uk/judgments/atto…
Excellent French song #Imagine #OpeningCeremony Scousers everywhere!
At least when the sport starts properly it hasn’t got to be great to be better than this madness #OpeningCeremony

In 2022 Tory leadership hopeful Tom Tugendhat categorically ruled out leaving the ECHR
Today he’s running around suggesting he would be willing to put the UK in the company of Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the human rights convention
Watch in disbelief

"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) 🧵
If you are in any doubt just how bad it is for those who need #LegalAid then a few minutes with @FightBach might be worthwhile. We need a new approach @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour @PaulaBarkerMP @IanByrneMP linkedin.com/posts/law-centr…
