It is absolutely time for Suella Braverman to finally resign - and this time resign for good. If you agree with this, please do retweet and mount further pressure on the worst Home Secretary to have ever served this country. It really is time for @SuellaBraverman to go. 13/13

The richest 50 families in the UK have more wealth than the bottom half of the UK population (33.5 million people).
The number of households unable to afford a decent standard of living is approx 11.1million (39%).
We are far too patient with the political and economic system.

10 years of LASPO has driven a wrecking ball through the lives of some of the poorest and most vulnerable in society, reinforcing the perception that justice is only for the wealthy and there is one rule for them (sound familiar?).
The next govt must #RepealLASPO

Throwing millions of private renters under a bus, especially now, when the economy is going haywire, is bad policy and bad politics. It will make renting even harder, increase homelessness, and pile more pressure on councils and NHS. But, you know, 'not a priority'...

There is little there to reinstate anyway: much of the 2013 ecology of legal assistance is gone. The landscape is much more sparse. Even with more funding there would not be for several years the orgs to take it up. We need a framework for the future and a recovery plan for now.

Hey Suella - about the shirkers. 40% of UC claims are working tax credits because big biz like Tory donors Sainsbury refuse to pay wages their staff can survive on. So tax payers money subsidises Sainsbury profits. But you know that. Suella blocked me so do pass this on for me.

The reality is that Barristers who prosecute are drawn from the same pool who also defend. If the Bar cannot recruit those who defend rapes, they cannot recruit those who prosecute them either.
Both victims and suspects will suffer as a result so these issues matter to all 👇
Don't care? Well here's why you absolutely should.

Beautiful flowers from one of our housing clients as a token of appreciation for all of the hard work our senior solicitor put into their case. Thank you also for your kind donation.

Our housing team helped a client seen at court facing possession proceedings for mortgage arrears that accrued when he stopped working due to serious health problems. Our Duty solicitor identified additional benefit entitlement that he could claim and secured an adjournment. cont

As a result our client worked with our benefits advisers to secure PIP and Council Tax support. He can now afford his mortgage and payments to the arrears and the lenders are no longer seeking possession.

The court has granted our application to set aside a warrant for eviction on the basis of oppression this week so the client who had been sleeping rough since his eviction was able to return to his home.

We don’t have enough money to run a justice system that can investigate and try serious criminal cases in less than four years.
But we do have money to fly empty planes to Rwanda to show just how tough we are on people seeking sanctuary.
What a time to be alive.

What a successful day in the housing team as 4 intentional homeless decisions have been overturned on review and all clients have been accepted for rehousing👏👏. Fantastic result and very happy clients.
