APIL's new research report - The Justice Gap Facing Victims of Negligence - is out now: apil.org.uk/publications/the…
This is a bespoke report bringing together findings from our in-house research team. It highlights the growing barriers faced by injured people seeking redress, the extent to which the justice gap is widening, and the consequences for individuals, families and society.
This report will provide a strong evidence base for our continuing engagement with policymakers, parliamentarians, stakeholders and the media. It will reinforce our key messages on access to justice, demonstrate the cumulative impact of recent reforms, and support our calls for meaningful change.

West Dunbartonshire is among the UK’s worst hotspots for asbestos-related cancer deaths from exposure at work, with 340+ deaths since 1980.
I led a debate last night on asbestos-related cancer, calling for reform of the 2006 Compensation Act to include non-mesothelioma cases.

Record levels of work-related stress in Britain’s workplaces. TUC declares work-related stress “crisis” as HSE stats show 22 million working days were lost due to stress in 2024/2025. 79% of safety reps identified stress as the biggest workplace risk. tuc.org.uk/news/tuc-record-l…

Medicine and public health have added three decades to the human lifespan. Vaccination alone produced 40% of the reduction in child deaths.
And now a disturbed and unqualified man driven by crackpot theories is destroying the foundations of this work, including CDC.

Outdated and Unfair: The Case for Council Tax Reform. My blog on a new Tax Justice Scotland briefing, one of many I have helped write over the years. We’ve had consultations, commissions and countless commitments, but little has changed. Time for action!

Important milestone for abuse survivors.
Removing barriers to justice is vital for giving people the recognition they deserve - and also holding perpetrators accountable.
Well done to all at @APIL for their work on this campaign.

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

It has been one year since the premiere of the ITV Drama Mr Bates v The Post Office. Some improvements have been made to the redress schemes and they are now moving faster – but not fast enough.
Listen to Chair @liambyrnemp and read our report 👇

Grandfather was ‘Mr Health and Safety’. His life’s quest to make work safer has been ridiculed – but the rise of the gig economy shows it’s no joke. The Health and Safety at Work Act passed into UK law 50 years ago. Harold Walker was its driving force. theconversation.com/my-grand…

A strong defence bar can only increase the efficiency of the courts, with more lawyers meaning more cases able to be dealt with more quickly, but the government seems unable to grasp this. As a result, courts descend into chaos as the criminal bar withers on the vine.
