Can all those who want to leave the ECHR please tell me which of these rights you are happy not to apply to you and your family.

Today I met a police officer about death threats I’ve got for being a human rights lawyer.

Today I read the PM’s words criticising lawyers representing asylum seekers.

These things are not unrelated.

This Government is undermining the rule of law, & putting us all at risk.

Breaking:- judges sitting in Strasbourg are going to prevent the Rwanda flight taking off.

When the European Court of Human Rights has to step in to block your government's inhumane actions you know that things are very,very bad.

@matthews1951 @BBCFLauraKT If there were a ‘strain on our finances’ do you think Sunak would have written off £billions in fraud and the great test and trace scandal? My god Matthew, when you’re forced to eat your own shit to stay in the game, the game’s up. Ever, decreasing ROI.

The newsletter is out. It's about the Rwanda deportation flight and Marina Hyde's column about it:

The jester joins the cabin crew
"Marina Hyde's 'bit' on Rwanda deportation flights shows the limits of smirking satire."

I have mixed feelings when I see the blue tick left show support for someone being unfairly maligned.
I'm glad to see then show solidarity for Corbyn but where's the solidarity for ordinary activists when they get slandered and lied about? The movement is about them not big names

The government of a country that has over 2200 food banks has spent £500,000 of taxpayers money on a 200 seater 767 to fly 7 people to Rwanda.

The UK could pull out of Europe’s human rights framework after last-ditch legal rulings blocked the government’s plan to relocate asylum-seekers to Rwanda.

“I am evil, our government is evil, the people who voted for us are evil and we will ensure nothing prevents us from carrying out the evil we were elected to do” said home secretary Priti Patel when asked for comment.

A little thread for Mr Starmer.

Let’s start with the resignation letter. It was the weakest of the plotters by some distance.

Essentially, ‘Dear Jeremy, I’m quitting because everyone else is.’

Jeremy even gave him another chance.

Over the past few weeks, we've seen a huge and growing movement of people resist government's abhorrent Rwanda plan.
It's not just lawyers' who are standing up for people's rights - it's thousands of us, out on the streets, writing to our MPs, challenging airlines. 1/🧵

Just voted to tell Govt to get round the table with rail workers – Ministers are playing games, trying to shame Labour and at the same time refusing to negotiate in earnest

Depressing that seems to have worked - Labour abstained on Govt motion condemning the strikes

@RMTunion

@philipjohn we could've had May's deal and still had free movement etc. but instead we've got the clown car nonsense we have now.

@philipjohn I think so, yeah. I've only seen the Novara interview with the author. Not sure I can bring myself to read a book about him tbh.

However, hard Brexit lies at his door and no-one's picked up on it. Very interesting,

Problem is, I don't trust either of these "alternatives" either. It's the status quo that's killing us.

A vote for Keir Starmer in the 2020 labour leadership race was a vote for moral cowardice in public life.

Those who voted for him, including many of my friends, didn’t expect that. The challenges & opportunities of the 21st century require boldness & ambition!
