One thing which I don't understand is how Jonathan Sumption can be described as a "former" Supreme Court Justice when he can (and does?) still sit on cases as part of the Court's Supplementary Panel supremecourt.uk/about/suppleme…
He's no longer full time or formally a "Justice" but I think most people would think that someone who judges some cases in the Supreme Court is still a judge of the Supreme Court, albeit a part time one
I was a bit annoyed at the Reith Lecture I attended that they kept referring to him as a former Justice. These distinctions are important
Does anyone know if Lord Sumption has sat on any SC or Privy Council cases since he retired?

This bill probably goes as far as is possible in preventing No Deal, but would of course still be subject to EU agreeing to an extension. Drafting seems solid to me too
Sorry, should have said that the only cast iron way to prevent no deal is by revoking the article 50 notification - which the UK can do unilaterally. I think that’s where Parliament may end up, but clearly focussing today on preventing no deal being used as a bargaining chip
A few pointing out that if the EU response isn’t a straight ‘yes’ then there isn’t provision for that. Would be sensible to add a ‘best endeavours’ clause or similar to force PM to negotiate an extension rather than just asking for one

When Dominic Grieve left the cabinet because he couldn’t support the Tory Party’s idiotic tabloid-pleasing plan for human rights he became the example which Gauke and others can now follow
The Tory Party has been on a journey towards being a radical, illiberal and thoroughly un-conservative political force. This was fully on view with its tabloid-pleasing but irresponsible approach to human rights - promoted by May, Raab, Patel, Rees Mogg...
Many centre right Tories didn’t see the danger of indulging in Europe-bashing and unprincipled politicking with our human rights protections. It turned out to be a dry run for Brexit and now we see the consequences - the ideologues have taken over. Gauke is far too late tbh

I’m back in the High Court at Manchester Civil Justice Centre tomorrow at 10:30 for the sentencing of three anti-fracking protesters and a hearing on whether the injunction preventing protest at the Cuadrilla fracking site should be varied /1 theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/j…
Meanwhile, as Cuadrilla argue for the protesters to be sanctioned, it has apologised for a 2.9 magnitude earthquake recorded at the site on Monday. Fracking at the site has been indefinitely suspended by regulators /2 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
There will be some important legal arguments about the scope of injunctions which prevent protests. Will update with who is reporting the two-day hearing /3

One thing I *really* don’t understand on free port thing is the desire to create lots of them. As unlikely to create new economic activity, rather just shift economic activity around within UK, quite quickly you reach a situation where marginal gains of a new free port v minimal.
Or to put it slightly crudely, once everyone is a free port, is anyone?
Had forgotten about the no-deal tariff schedule (thanks @C1aranMurray), so also this:

One of the reasons I started Twitter this year was to offer a response to #BigEva takes such as this. I aim to be measured, but a response is needed because as I will demonstrate, this kind of callous slander hurts the people I pastor and they deserve a defense. Thread: 1/8
It’s one thing to voice disagreement. I understand and respect the non-participant position when it comes to two-party politics. That respect should be reciprocal. To go to the liberal, God-hating media (Time, really?) and slander fellow Christians like this is inexcusable. 2/8
David French and the #BigEva elites who share his stuff are not ignorant of the best arguments of strategic Trump voters. Where is the charity and seeking the best intentions of those w/ whom we disagree? I guess those principles don't apply to 'ignorant' conservatives. 3/8

Supreme Court Judge Justice DY Chandrachud to speak on "The Narrative of Justice" at @IDIALaw Annual Conference on Law and Storytelling.
Chandrachud J. begins his keynote address by narrating a story of a Parsi matrimonial dispute he heard during his tenure in Bombay HC.

"Some cases tell you that human relations are not cast in stone"
Witnesses in Court give you a testimony; Clients share their confidence; Counsels make their submissions; judges give their opinions and deliver judgements; legislation gives you a statute; but what do spouses do? They engage in act of privileged communication - Chandrachud J.

#ConCon 101
The concept of a Constitutional Convention is foreign to many people. Understandable, since we've only had one in the entire history of the United States and it produced The Constitution. So I thought I'd write this thread to try make it understandable to everyone.
For anyone who doesn't want to or doesn't have the time to read this whole thread, I am also posting ConCon 101 EZ and ConCon 101 EZ+ which are much quicker. The purpose of this thread? #NoConCon
To convince you how vital it is for our country's future to oppose ANY state resolutions for ANY type of #ConCon. They are all dangerous for Democrats. #NoConCon
