On the death of a man in detention yesterday we send heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and everyone who knew and loved him.
Brook House is prison architecture and no-one should take their last breath there. We mourn that a young man died before he could be free.

🙏 to @BBCWorld for giving me the chance to explain the impact of the ECtHR’s momentous decision in the @KlimaSeniorin climate case.
🚨 Our Marc Willers KC (@mwillersqc) speaking to @BBCWorld on @KlimaSeniorin #ECHR case:
"It's a monumental decision & will have an effect across Europe as a precedent relied upon in domestic courts...but also beyond, in comparative arguments put before courts around the world."

The evidence that came out at trial raises serious concerns about officers' understanding of the powers they are given when policing these #protests
Scary given their powers are ever-increasing

One month before Russia invaded Ukraine, I stood trial at the High Court. And now I wait, in purgatory, to be judged.
But I believe this trial and the silence around it - & all the Kremlin's men - has revealed something profoundly rotten at the heart of the British state.

One way to stop every other judicial review report being about the unlawful treatment of asylum seekers would be to at least try to stop treating asylum seekers unlawfully

The United Kingdom of Inequality.
Compare & contrast:
A Chancellor of the Exchequer holding a U.S. Green Card able to bring his Indian wife into the UK as a non-dom so avoiding millions in tax.
A British nurse, teacher, junior doctor, care-worker who can't marry a foreigner.

You’ll hear a lot today about the government ‘toughening up’ sentences.
Know this:
* One London court is setting trial dates in October 2025.
* I recently finished an alleged sexual offences trial where the police were called in 2017 and the verdict was not until 2023.

I had legal advise surgery today at Harmondsworth detention centre. I saw 9 detainees. I am expected to book interpreter, take instructions, look at docs and advise in 30 mins.
Most were told that no LA solicitor can take on case as they are at capacity.

“The (asylum) backlog exists because there are not enough decisions being taken. The solution must lie in the Home Office taking effective & quick decisions, we know the grant rate is 75%, so it shouldn't take 1-2 years (to process a claim).” - @SonaliNaikKC, Garden Court

The Government is prepared to interfere in banking errors involving Farage but seems indifferent to the suffering of hundreds in this post office scandal. Perhaps they don’t perceive them as a political threat.
But this is a national disgrace and embarrassment to our country. 5/
