🚨 BREAKING: Zarah Sultana uses parliamentary privilege to bypass court reporting restrictions and expose details of the Filton 24 re-trial.
UK media has been banned from reporting key information.
Zarah Sultana: “If convicted, they and 18 others will be sentenced as terrorists, but the jury will not be told that.”
An MP going into Parliament to reveal what the press legally can’t report is rare - and explosive.
This raises serious questions about transparency, justice, and what juries are - and aren’t - being told.

This is devastating.
Over a hundred BBC staff have signed a letter declaring they've been forced to do PR for Israel.
Just the latest chapter in the biggest scandal of Western journalism of our time

The secure school promised to herald a revolution in youth justice . Monitoring reports suggest it's struggling to meet some all too familiar challenges.

It's Autism Awareness Month, so let's bust a pretty common myth about autism.
"Everyone's a little autistic."
No hate if you've ever said this. But if you have, I hope you'll stick around for this. 🙂

'Who owns land is one of our oldest and darkest secrets... so I'm excited that the government have announced plans to open up the Land Registry'
Was great to speak with @mrjamesob yesterday about uncovering who owns England:

Independent experts have now meticulously examined all records in the Lucy Letby case. Their conclusion? No medical evidence of deliberate harm in any of the 17 cases. Instead, the deaths and injuries resulted from natural causes or medical errors, aligning with the findings of UK experts.

I knew there were a lot of fake accounts on this platform, but they are usually obvious. I had no idea how intricate and complex the ruse could be.
Get a load of this story.

This thread demonstrates why it's important for epistemology & qualitative methods to be taught in grad school.
It also highlights how senior scholars can act as gatekeepers and denigrate critical & qualitative scholarship.
The doubling down makes it even more cringe.

Each week, sick pensioners, hospital patients, and people with cancer, dementia, mental health struggles and learning difficulties are convicted of crimes when they shouldn't be.
Change can't come fast enough

UPDATE
Home Office is CONTINUING their appeal against our legal challenge of anti-protest laws
This follows them delaying the hearing to decide whether to go ahead.
We’ll be back in court later this year to #DefendDemocracy
BREAKING
We said we would #DefendDemocracy...
AND WE'VE WON our case against Government anti-protest laws that completely ignored the will of Parliament
