Imran Khan speaks about the profound implications of the Menon case: "what is most fundamentally at stake is the constitutional value of fearless advocacy itself. The principle that counsel must be free to advance a client’s case without fear of personal retribution is not a professional privilege; it is a constitutional safeguard" @TheCriminalBar @gardencourtlaw

The 7th winter of dealing with a widely prevalent airborne virus, known to kill, disable & hospitalise. The UK continues to strip away access to the vaccine. Worse still, it limits acute treatments to so few people, while other counties get antivirals.
This is bad medicine JCVI.

Pete Weatherby KC's final remarks before handing over to the speakers: "The criminalisation of defence lawyers is not only an attack on them personally, but an attack on the rule of law itself. It will necessarily have a chilling effect and thereby undermine the independence of lawyers, and the protection of the fundamental constitutional rights of their clients. We have been warned"

‘The prosecution of a leading human rights barrister for contempt of court over his closing speech during a trial of Palestine Action activists has left lawyers fearful of doing their job, the chair of the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) has said.’ theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…
A barrister is facing prison just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience, a historic right since 1670. We can't let it be silenced now. Please join me in asking the government to protect our juries: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees

On Saturday May 16th we need everyone who can make it to be in London for this crucial demonstration.
We will march to commemorate the Nakba – for 78 years, Palestinians have been subjected to a racist system of oppression including ethnic cleansing, settler-colonialism,

"Proactive interventions by public health systems to keep the population healthy lessen the reactive response required by health care systems to care for sick patients."
"You do you" is "not proactive" public health and it does not work.

Public Health / governments don’t want to go there, they’re happy with (most) people not seeing the link. It’s not politically acceptable. Heck, even the leaders of the Green Party aren’t making this an issue.

Did you know that Dr Hussam Abu Afiya, the heroic doctor who stayed until the last moment in his bombed out hospital saving lives, and who the Israeli army abducted illegally, is STILL kept in chains? Now, Israel seeks to extend his illegal detention. Speak out!

The government has spent the past two years turning a blind eye to war crimes in Gaza.
Now, the Foreign Office unit that tracks Israeli breaches of international law has closed altogether.
This is the last stage of British complicity: pretend it never happened at all.
