A few quick thoughts now that the government want to blame "the lawyers" (and by extension the judges) for terrorism policy /1
First, I regularly hear (e.g. there is a Sun headline floating around) that the European Court of Human Rights have prevented the UK imposing "indeterminate" sentences, i.e. imprisonment for public protection. This is a myth. /2
It is correct to say that the European Court of Human Rights in a case called James v UK (followed by the UK Supreme Court) said that if we have IPP sentences there MUST be sufficient provision for rehabilitative courses so that prisoners weren't stuck forever /3

My goodness, the ‘Brenda agenda’ stuff in Hope’s diaries gives a tiny glimpse of the horrors being the only woman and perhaps only feminist on the Supreme Court for over a decade must have involved
I imagine it was very lonely, amongst other things. Hopefully we have turned a corner now there are 2 more women justices but unfortunately the higher courts are a bit of a time capsule to 30 years ago
In the incoming podcast from @BHumanPodcast and @prospect_uk on attacks on the judiciary @marthaspurrier and I discuss judicial selection and suggest it needs to be more open

A poignant and beautifully written report by @freedland from yesterday’s 75th anniversary ceremony at Auschwitz theguardian.com/world/2020/jan…
@Freedland “Auschwitz did not fall from the sky” but was the destination reached after a thousand smaller steps, each one stripping a single minority of its dignity and humanity. After the Shoah, Turski said, “The 11th commandment is: thou shalt not be indifferent.”
@Freedland “ They know that a postwar world order constructed in the shadow of Auschwitz – an architecture of international institutions and supposedly universal human rights – is in peril, the conscious and deliberate target of populist nationalist governments in Europe and beyond”

Today's story of the day by Climate correspondent @EricHolthaus could become our collective story of the decade – if we decide here and now that we want it to be.

In 2030 we ended the climate emergency. Here's how: +

Storytelling has the power to change the course of history. If there's one story that desperately needs a new ending, it's the #climateemergency.

Last year @EricHolthaus asked:

"What absolutely must change in the next 10 years?"

Here's your vision:

+

In 2020 the most urgent thing we can do is passionately tell others that the #climateemergency exists:

– #Climatestrikes will escalate catalysing urgent revolutionary policy to tackle the #climatecrisis

– We'll finally realise that saving the earth means saving ourselves

1) Here is how a Federal communicator should deal with the media.

I am telling you this based on experience and data, not my personal opinions or an agency's direction or any partisan influence.

2) My concern here is that process is being trampled upon
3) Remember we are supposed to be one country

We've just released the final report by @Alston_UNSR, the UN Special Rapporteur on extreme #poverty, on his visit to the #UK. The report is available here: undocs.org/A/HRC/41/39/Ad…. A few key takeaways:
Some have asked me why a UN expert on #poverty would visit the #UK. Unfortunately, although the UK is the world’s 5th largest economy, 14 million are in poverty, child poverty is rising & predicted to reach 40% by 2021, homelessness is up 60%, and food bank use has skyrocketed.
To understand #poverty in the #UK, you have to look at the massive disinvestment in social support since 2010: the end of a centralized social fund, changes to the ways benefits are capped & calculated that substantially reduce their value, the decimation of civil legal aid, etc.
