Update on the potential legal action against the Foreign Office by the family of Harry Dunn, with some detail from the pre-action letter. FCO response is due on Friday thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-…
For those without a Times subscription
Worth reading Dominic Raab’s statement to Parliament carefully. This is how he says the FCO thinks Anne Sacoolas had immunity. Curiously, immunity said to have been ‘waived’ for employees but not their spouses hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2019-1…
In answer to a (good and detailed) question by @EmilyThornberry, Raab accepted this was an ‘anomaly’ which hadn’t come to light before Harry Dunn’s death. A key question for family is whether FCO advised the police Sacoolas had immunity knowing the position was at best unclear

As predicted, the Met's ban on Extinction Rebellion protests ruled unlawful by High Court and quashed (though the order expired on 19 Oct)

Judgment judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…
Summary judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…

Well done to Philippa Kaufman QC and my brilliant colleague @judebunting
@judebunting The judgment is actually based a fairly narrow point of statutory construction - that the XR protests were not a 'public assembly' as they were not at one 'scene' where a senior officer was. So there was no power to prevent them happening across London
@judebunting The importance of the judgment will come in the next iteration of the XR protests as the police will not have a power to ban them unless they are occurring at one or more place and there is a senior officer making an independent decision to restrict them at each scene

The reason Labour is so vulnerable to criticisms over its handling of antisemitism is not that others have 'weaponised' but because it has done such a bad job.

From a factional mindset, everything is somebody else's fault, but in my view they have nobody to blame but themselves.
During this election you will hear excuses, distortions and evasions which has been the Leader of the Opposition office's approach pretty much all along, with some short-lived exceptions.

Some will gratefully grab onto those narratives so they can feel OK voting for Labour.
It's a long and complex story, and one which I entirely understand many people have lost patience with (like Brexit) but having followed the issue closely for a couple of years, and been involved myself, my view (reached with huge regret) is that it is serious and not exaggerated

Good news that fracking suspended. Credit to many campaigners who have worked tirelessly to protest as the earthquakes got worse.

But my and @Kirsty_Brimelow clients still convicted of contempt and face £10s of thousands in costs for protesting bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-en…
The case will reach the Court of Appeal second week of December. Cuadrilla (fracking company) still fighting for a costs order of around £70k. The Legal Aid agency refused legal aid to vary the original anti-protest injunction saying that it would be possible to crowdfund!
This all goes to show how huge a disadvantage environmental protesters are at in defending anti-protest injunctions, stopping them in the first place and then defending themselves from contempt proceedings. Lots more today

EU now see G7 as moment “there will be noise” on Brexit as Johnson holds talks with Juncker/Macron/Merkel/Conte
From Frost meeting last week it was clear UK does not have a plan for new talks
“No deal appears to be UK government’s central scenario,” said senior official
One ambassador said, “there is no desire to negotiate at all,”
UK asking for new EU mandate
“Will [EU] change the mandate? No. Change to what? What is the UK mandate ? There is not one,” said senior official
Frost also admitted that even without the backstop, the ERG could well block a deal
“Even if EU gave up the backstop there is no alternative”

Preparations appear to be underway for a pro-#Assad offensive on #Idlib.

12hrs of on/off air & artillery strikes vs. southeastern & western #Idlib & northern #Hama - see marks on map (original by @ETANA_Syria + my additions).

+ multiple large pro-regime convoys moving north.
@ETANA_Syria #pt: If/when any major military campaign gets underway, expect the #Assad regime (+ #Russia & #Iran-backed militias) to focus on these 2 fronts:

1) West #Idlib (Jisr al-Shughour)
2) N. #Hama/#SE #Idlib (Latamineh, Khan Sheikhoun, Kafrazita)

-> a gradual push ‘inland’ & north.
@ETANA_Syria Very good by @theIRC’s @DMiliband:

- The West must “re-assert” itself & protect civilians in NW #Syria & as a backstop, safe-routes should be opened for civilians to flee into #Turkey.

- UNSC must demand full access to S #Syria; for aid, monitoring etc.

It's a criminal offence to falsifying a legal instrument. But if the #MetPolice / #LBRUT do it, then there is not even an investigation. 12 years of silence. Evidence to prove it - ukcoverup.com/search-warrant-

#skynews #lbc #theresamay #uk #bbcnews #coverup #c4news #worldnews #ukgov
Welcome to the #Metpolice who also changed & falsified my arrest details. Have a look at the evidence here ukcoverup.com/arrest-details as it's all easy to prove & that's why it's never addressed

Ex-Russian spy & daughter 'poisoned' in UK sparks fears of another Kremlin-backed hit. Investigators scrambling to identify the chemical used. Skripal feared for his life after his wife died in a car crash & his son was killed in a road incident.. thesun.co.uk/news/5733372/s…
UK warns Kremlin over poisoning of ex-spy Skripal & his daughter. Recalling Litvinenko murder, FM Johnson said UK was "in the lead across the world" in trying to counteract a "host of malign activity" by Russia.

Skripal's brother, son & wife have been killed in the last 2 year.
