2009: Hadn’t joined twitter
2019: a thousand people just liked a tweet calling me dishonest and unethical
HNY everyone! 😬
I shouldn’t be morose. In 2009 I was an idealistic pupil barrister hoping to get into human rights law and make the world a slightly better place. In 2019 I have managed the first bit and despite what the haters say I think I have been net positive on the second!
Lots of love to everyone I met along the way - through my babies (now young adults I guess) @ukhumanrightsb, @EachOtherUk, 9 happy years at @1CrownOfficeRow my lovely newish colleagues at @doughtystreet, exciting new @BHumanPodcast, and everyone here of course even the haters 😘
Will say this too: being a human rights advocate (not just a lawyer) should not be comfortable or easy. If you aren’t getting some flack, or challenging orthodoxies (including close to home) then what’s the point? Just a thought. Maybe self-justificatory!

Some thoughts on @keirstarmermp for Labour leader. (thread)
First things first, the basic premise of this thread is that Labour have had a serious problem with antisemitism which has over time become more serious and probably institutional. If you don’t agree you won’t want to go further.
Labour’s anti-Jewish racism problem has been a real stain on this once-great party. It has persisted because of a culture of denial and an egregious failure by the leadership to take the difficult steps necessary to address it.

This is simply wrong. The Supreme Court found there was no justification advanced at all by the govt (not an irrational one) for the length of the prorogation.
Whet the govt really mean here (notwithstanding the reported misunderstanding - which, by the way, I doubt is really a misunderstanding) is that they don’t like the proportionality review which has arrived through EU and human rights law.
However, reality is ‘wednesbury unreasonableness’ (high bar, no reasonable decision maker could have reached decision) still applied in admin court cases every day. Proportionality review (could less intrusive measure have been used?) still mostly limited to human rights cases

Took 24 hours off Twitter and popped back to find more anger and rancour, so popping off again. Send me a smoke signal when it's better please
Twitter is the perfect place to find the very people who will be angry and outraged about the thing you said. They're all here!
What's the point, really? I mean, sure there are lots of people who aren't like that but the algorithm just loves the angry and outraged ones. And you can never win against the algorithm unless you get angry and outraged

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

So I didn't want to do this thread and I don't want to rant but when someone pushes a blatant lie, there's no point sitting idle.

My time at Daily Times: A thread
Shahbaz Taseer, brother of Shehryar Taseer shrugged off my unpaid salary by saying that I was fired. And sadly, that has become the Taseer clan's justification in the face of unfair practices: "fuck off"
On the 8th of June, 2018, I joined Daily Times as a subeditor for their web platform. I was approached by their very friendly editorial board and I took the job. I want to preface that the editorial staff was brilliant and I learnt a lot of things. My irritation is with the admin
