Think upon the action of a proposed law, not in a utopia or ideal but in difficult circumstances enforced by bad actors with malicious intent.

Is this the worst thing to happen to barristers since they let us speak to the public about our own cases

A few claim form issues here. Is a claim form properly served when a (slightly) incorrect address is given? Was the claimant able to serve on this as the defendant's "last known residence"? www.civillitigationbrief.com/2025/02/03/4...

This is what Dr Henry Marsh, a leading proponent of assisted suicide, is saying in the open. Ask yourself: do you want to live in a society that makes such a tradeoff?

Well, well, well, it seems that even Lord Hermer's ministerial colleagues agree with our "thoroughly bad Policy Exchange paper"!

Constitutions, including written ones, are ultimately only as strong as the institutions responsible for upholding them. If leaders & governments are determined to defy the law & the constitution, who will stop them? The legislature? Not if weak or craven.

At the first committee hearing of the Assisted Dying Bill today my name was put forward as a witness in an amendment which was rejected - see transcript of Jake Ben Richards MP. I will submit written evidence to the committee. It should not have been given the impression that I am in my early career

The Leadbeater assisted suicide committee has just voted 14 to 8 against hearing evidence from the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Both ministers on the committee voted against. This is shameful. The entire scrutiny process has been discredited before it even began.

I’m ever more conscious of a culture divide in the assisted dying debate between people without disabilities, used to exercising choice and direction over their lives, with close and trusting bonds to those around them, and no financial anxieties, and people much less fortunate

Yesterday, we witnessed shameful scenes in the committee for Kim Leadbeater's assisted suicide bill. She and her core supporters have given up on even the semblance of fairness. It was a pure assertion of brute, ugly power. My write-up for the Spectator. www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-...

One of the saddest parts of this job is reading the statements of police officers who have evidently experienced the most shocking and horrific job of their lives, and then seeing them give their evidence live, reliving it step by traumatising step. I always feel so much sympathy for them.

I'm enjoying the novelty of being officially “rebutted” by the Foreign Office, but it remains the case that the Chagos surrender deal is indefensible strategically, diplomatically, legally, morally, and financially, as our new Policy Exchange report argues. policyexchange.org.uk/publication/...
