Looks like I’ve got back in time for another vote.....

Good morning Twitter. Hope you all had a great August rest. #peoplesvote
All this talk about a “gross betrayal of democracy” is cynical nonsense. “Democracy” didn’t freeze on a single day, torn up by a campaign of lies & misinformation.

The Prime Minister should take a hard look at the way her govt has conducted itself these last 2 years.
All this talk about a “gross betrayal of democracy” when even the Brexit Secretary can’t tell the people what they might face without breaking into a terrified sweat. Come off it @10DowningStreet.

And step up @jeremycorbyn.

“This Court is of the view that the mass killings of Sikhs in Delhi and elsewhere in November 1984 were in fact “crimes against humanity”. They will continue to shock the collective conscience of society for a long time to come.”
I haven’t had the chance to read the whole jmnt yet & will post more when I do.

I am privileged to have played a v small role in the work that led up to this milestone #1984 conviction. A day when the day job feels worthwhile.

Thank you @hsphoolka,Jagdish Kaur & so many others.
For those interested, I recommend reading @PavSingh84 #1984 India’s Guily Secret. A meticulously researched book laying out what happened, how it’s been carefully hidden away & why justice is late, but not denied. #SajjanConvicted #1984SikhGenocide

And why these weren’t “riots”.

“Impassive Aggressive”.

If that’s a thing, I think it is a fitting description of Theresa May.

Some thoughts on why, for all the spectacle of being a lone figure battling on all sides, May does not deserve a nation’s sympathy. /1
All throughout this process, and Brexit is very a much a process (to which I will return), there have been a series of choices. At each turn, May has made very poor choices.

It is those choices which have led us to the precipice on which we sit as a nation today. /2
Of those choices, to my mind, it is the failure of transparency which has had the most serious ramifications.

Indeed, it can’t even be described as a failure of transparency.

It was a conscious choice in May’s part to keep reality cloaked in darkness during her premiership. /3

On a night of political turmoil, it’s such a delight to switch off Brexit and celebrate the work of ⁦@BarHumanRights⁩ and wave farewell to our wonderful Chair ⁦@Kirsty_Brimelow⁩, in conversation with the marvellous Baroness Helena Kennedy QC. #ThankYouKirsty
Lovely words of encouragement and thanks from @Kirsty_Brimelow on behalf of @BarHumanRights to our many partners in the room, to our hardworking Drafting Committee and to our student members, future human rights lawyers to keep checking a cycle of backsliding in #humanrights.
International trial observations, which @BarHumanRights specialise in conducting, throw a spotlight on specific #humanrights issues. @Kirsty_Brimelow talks about our work in Turkey this year, and her own trial observation in Bahrain, & Colombia.

I have been rebutting the case for a so-called “People’s Vote” on Twitter for some time and thought it might be useful to draw the points together in a single thread.
#PeoplesVote
First, the name. It’s dumb. What they really mean is, a second vote because we lost the first one. We had a people’s vote already. Who do they think voted last time, fridge magnets?
Anyway… the so-called People’s Vote campaign doesn’t really want another vote - it wants another answer. It is entirely about seeking to stop Brexit.

#PeoplesVote - to resolve Brexit & turn back division. Thread. 1/
A three-way vote, giving ranked choices (1st, 2nd)

To show Parliament what people think now we know the options 2/
With the 2nd choices from the least popular option redistributed, there will be a (reluctant) majority for one option. 3/

Today’s latest Brexit shambles from the Government - plastered over the papers and on display on broadcast - is merely the latest panicked response to the momentum generated this summer by the campaign for a People's Vote on any Brexit deal #PeoplesVote /1
This week politicians return to Westminster and we are no nearer to any deal at all but the ground has shifted since they went on holiday. All summer long the impetus has shifted across the country towards the #PeoplesVote campaign. /2
It is not surprising the #PeoplesVote campaign should grow and grow as the public discover the consequences of a badly botched departure from the EU that the Brextremists want to dump on the United Kingdom. /3

GOOD MORNING, TWITTER! #SexyHistory Tuesday IS UPON US, gird thy loins and such! Today's Topic: James II: Royal F*ckboi.
So every Tuesday, when history STOPS getting polite, and STARTS getting real- er, sexy- people bring up Charles II. BECAUSE OF COURSE.
Charles II is, like, PATRON SAINT of Sexy History, which is why I'm NOT doing a bit on him. For one, it would be a 10 part series.
