Immigration law twitter: we have a client dispersed to Dover, he has an asylum appeal, so we urgently need to get him legal representation and haven’t had any success. He’s Malian and had a history of having to sleep rough, due to support issues and so is vulnerable. Suggestions?

Can I have details of a named person who I can complain to by email?

Can we just stick this on a billboard outside Westminster. Sums up perfectly how the "asylum backlog has been cleared"

Another home office tactic. They are now withdrawing applications saying they haven’t received a ‘letter of authority’ from legal reps (where one was sent years before and we have been on record ever since). In this case we also sent one 4 weeks ago in reply to their request.

🚨South Africa has filed an application to the International Court of Justice against #Israel, alleging violations of obligations under the #Genocide Convention. 🇿🇦⚖️🇮🇱 This is a significant legal development! 🔥 Why is this so important? I'll explain in this thread. 🧵

KC: My junior will address you on the CPR point. Since he's the one who didn't take the point below, it seems appropriate that he should be the one to persuade you to allow us to rely on it now. LJ: I don't think that's quite the spirit of the new practice, Mr KC.

This place is a hidden gem which I only discovered when @GlasgowAdvocate took me there during a Trial one day! 👌👌👌

Fantastic review by Ron McKenna of my favourite restaurant in Glasgow - and within walking distance of Glasgow High Court. Wonderful fresh food - served by friendly staff - and cheap as chips (which they often give me for free when I don’t ask for them) 10/10 👏👏👏👏

Robin Moira White very rarely engages with me on the substance of the law, usually preferring to just assert that I'm wrong and then make some ad hominem attack or say something about how academic lawyers shouldn't be trusted as experts on the law.

One of the greatest privileges of my life. Hearing the call to prayer here is surreal.

I am very excited to have been appointed as Chair on the @FA's National Serious Case Panel after serving as a wing member for the last 18 months. I will continue adjudicating on the weirdest and wackiest charges, offences and allegations in the wonderful world of football!

Dehumanisation has become a theme in this conflict. How else can people care so little about the destruction of a hospital. In contrast, this is how the Prophet Muhammad responded to the death of a Jew: A funeral passed the Messenger of Allah and he stood up, and it was said to him: It Is a Jew. He said: 'Is he not a soul?
