The Good Law Project launched each of the three Brexit cases to succeed. Here (on 29/6/16) we launched the point that ultimately became the Miller case (she followed on 3/7/16 mishcon.com/news/firm_news…) crowdjustice.com/case/should-pa…
Here is the decision of the High Court in our successful challenge of the Electoral Commission's mismanagement of the referendum bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…
And this morning we beat the EU Commission, our own Government and the EU Council (representing the other 27 Member States) in a case that could yet cancel Brexit.

Wrong on virtually every count.

And only one of us is a convicted criminal, an anti-semite, "Brocialist", deliberately hiding his funders, who has written for the UCL Conservative Newsletter, has a dodgy PhD, and thinks table salt is a chemical weapon.
That would be you, Bastani, you weapon. Meanwhile, put your socks on.
Is this true, @AaronBastani, did you leave the Labour Party because your chosen Blairite lost out in the Labour leadership to his brother? leninology.co.uk/2010/12/more-t…

There's a perfectly sensible case for a Party leader making policy from on high. But it's pretty grim watching smart folk on the Left demean themselves trying to pretend that's not what Corbyn is doing.
Question for all those folks insisting member-led democracy was served because delegates got to vote on a motion: why didn't they get to vote on whether Labour should commit to a referendum given how over 100 constituencies and at least three quarters of members wanted one?
It's a free country. Subscribe to whatever delusion makes you happy. Just don't expect anyone whose head is screwed on such that their nose and toes point in the same direction to join you in it.

Only 29% of judges in England and Wales are women. Fewer than 1% are "black or black British".
theguardian.com/law/2019/jan/0…
Of the 1,360 odd *salaried* (ie full-time, permanent) judges in England and Wales the number who are "black or black British" is 7. That's right, about half of one percent.

9/17: Manafort working on "Kurdish referendum"

"...the Kurdish referendum, scheduled for Monday, would not immediately trigger independence, the American gov't and the international community have expressed serious concerns about it. "
"They fear that, if it passes overwhelmingly, as expected, it could further destabilize Iraq, damage the coalition fighting the Islamic State, and potentially spark violence in disputed areas."
"...the State Department urged Kurdish leaders “to accept the alternative, which is a serious and sustained dialogue with the central government, facilitated by the United States and United Nations, and other partners.”

Kelsey’s Naughty List! 🎄😳 In the spirit of Christmas, I've made a Naughty List of bad behaviour in the world of digital rights and privacy! In no particular order, here are some of 2018's biggest blunders for data protection, consumer privacy, and cyberlaw more generally.
NAUGHTY! The US Congress voted down an effort to reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 (remember Edward @Snowden?) and instead passed a bill that expanded warrantless surveillance of US citizens and foreigners. 🕵️‍♂️🌍

NAUGHTY (AGAIN)! The US Congress passed the Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act, which expands US and foreign law enforcement to target and access people’s data across international borders. Critics of the act include @ACLU and @EFF ⛈️

Here's a great article by @ckchumley
So good I'll thread it so you don't need to leave here to read it.

She writes about Tennessee's "two-pronged approach" for pregnant women.
washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/…
'The worst abortions opponents, the ones who give pro-lifers a bad name, are the ones who stand safely away from the pregnant woman, shouting righteously and defiantly of the need to protect the unborn and preserve the sanctity and save the innocence and so forth —
... and then go home and pat themselves on the back for jobs well done.

.

As if God’s mission had been accomplished.

As if their righteous indignation meant something.

That’s why what’s taking place in Tennessee seems so significant.'

Waiting for the start of the Brexit What's The Deal event at Bracknell Open Learning Centre organised by Berkshire for Europe.
We'll be live tweeting the event, so watch this space.
If you are at the event, use the hashtag #WhatsTheDealBracknell on social media.
It promises to be an interesting evening, particularly with the news this afternoon that Railways Minister @JoJohnsonUK has resigned from the government and spoken out in favour of a #PeoplesVote on Brexit rather than the choice of no deal or a bad deal.
Our speakers this evening are:
Bracknell MP @DrPhillipLeeMP who was one of the early MPs to resign their ministerial post over Brexit (for the right reasons)

*Brexit at the Border: Voices from local communities in the Central Border Region of Ireland/Northern Ireland*
An initiative by @QUBelfast & @europe_icban to gather data on the immediate & anticipated effects of #Brexit for those living on the #Border
qub.ac.uk/brexit/Brexitf…
1/10
Here are some of the key findings from the report in slide form.
First an overview of the study itself:
Rich qualitative data (online survey & focus groups) gathered across the Central Border Region. Detailed examples & viewpoints heard from people on both sides of #border.
2/10
Respondents to the survey came from across the 8 local authority areas of the Central Border Region, moreorless equally from both sides of the border. 50/50 male/female. 80% 31-65 yrs.
There were far fewer Leave-voting respondents so they got extra attention in our analysis.

I'm currently at this #Brexit conference in Copenhagen, where the British ambassador and several #DExEU officials will be on panels with representatives of Danish trade and security. It'll be very interesting to see what's said, especially in light of May's recent Munich speech.
And now that I'm not desperately trying to keep up with livetweeting it, I shall turn my mess of self-retweets into a proper thread. #Brexit #BrexitDK
acknowledges #Brexit will have challenges; emphasises no naïveté regarding "land of milk and honey". Refreshing sense of pragmatism; we'll see how #DExEU and DK reps present it.
