Szasz claimed there was no such thing as mental illness, but was still happy to treat people with mental illness.

It's day one of the inquiry and I'm already furious to hear how such non-legal considerations influenced decisions about serious offences prior to the 2023 killings. It's almost as if the DR and the police hadn't read the 2019 CPS guidance on suspects and defendants, isn't it?!

The Nottingham inquiry has been told Valdo Calocane "did not have capacity to be considered responsible" for an allegation in 2020. Makes as much sense as saying "condition orange" and is why the police should be wary taking legal views from doctors. thetimes.com/uk/crime/articl…

You're literally a white supremacist. You argued that black and brown people are less British. And you regularly spread fear about a "shrinking white population".... Which is a message of violence against black & brown people.

There may be a time in the future when AI intelligences may require a formal assessment under an (extensively amended MHA) (after all they do exhibit "hallucinations"), but I will thankfully be long dead by then. (Gives me an idea for a future blog).
Masked AMHP (Retd.)@MaskedAMHPFeb 16
I may be old fashioned, but it frankly sounds like a terrible idea. AI is not sentient, has no human emotions, and cannot help in any way in assessing what's going on in real life in a formal MHA assessment. I think the need for real AMHPs is going to continue for many years.

@MaskedAMHP Good evening, current AMHP here....would like to know your views on AMHPS now using A.I to write reports and rationales for MHA assessments. Seems prevalent now...my view is that it may deskill and create issues down the line...such as coroners court etc.

The Mental Health Act 2025 was enacted on 18.12.25. The Act amends the MHA 1983, which means that the amended Act will still be known as the Mental Health Act 1983. This is the link to the MHA 2025: legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/202…

As set out in this thread, the causes of the court backlog are chronic lack of funding and absurd inefficiency. The government has made no proposals to address either. Their answer is to remove juries. Rather than fix the leaking roof, their solution is to burn the house down.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Carrying out a mental capacity assessment is complex. 📝 Social workers on the panel will need to see the person seeking an assisted death where there is a question about mental capacity. We’re therefore calling for this right to be made explicit within the legislation.

This apparent shift in the government's position is very welcome news. 👏 In the summer, we wrote to the government alongside @1adass urging them to implement LPS, which has been put on the back burner for too long. It's encouraging that Ministers have listened and responded.
