STOP PRESS! Just heard from @akulith’s counsel (Sir N Forwood QC and J Flynn QC) that EU’s General Court has suspended the appointment of @akulith’s successor as Advocate General of the CJEU.
Text of the Order is here
It’s astonishing that the Member States and CJEU allowed things to happen in this way, especially given the rule of law issues regarding judicial dismissals in Poland.
The motivations for the dismissals are not of course comparable, but the resonances are unavoidable and other solutions would have been possible (as @JoshuaRozenberg explained).
Case C-550/20R: front page here. “N Forwood, barrister”, acting for @akulith, is himself a former EU Judge (and, like James Flynn QC, a member of my chambers). It will be interesting to see what the GC makes of their arguments.
Further details, including a full copy of the Order, are here brickcourt.co.uk/news/detail/do…

64 terrorist attacks in the UK reported by ⁦@Europol⁩ last year - more than in the other 27 EU countries combined! europol.europa.eu/activities-ser… However ...
56 of those 64 were “ethno-nationalist and separatist” (in other words, Northern Ireland-related). Dissident Republicans accounted for all but one of the attacks in that category across the EU./2
And don’t assume from this map, despite appearances, that there were no arrests in the UK for jihadist terrorism in 2019. It rather looks as though the UK, for some reason, continues not to allocate its arrests (281 last year) between different forms of terrorism. /3

The Brexit Bills as executive power-grab: this compilation of Bill-by-Bill reports from two @UKHouseofLords committees lays bare the extraordinary extent to which Parliament and the devolved legislatures are being sidelined, and not only on #Brexit publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld5801/ldse…. /1
The report brings back many of my own frustrations - such as the time earlier this year when the Minister (Lord Keen) agreed to amend a plainly unconstitutional clause but the Government countermanded him. /2
But it also reminds us that we are not completely wasting our time. Scrutiny by expert all-party committees, picked up and supported in the chamber of @UKHouseofLords, can curb the worst excesses of governments in a hurry - whatever their political colour. /3

Anxious about leaving home? Take a copy of the latest police guidance with you (England only) college.police.uk/What-we-do/COV…. Useful because it sets out how the police themselves are supposed to interpret the law. /1
I’m glad that good sense has been applied by @PoliceChiefs over (1) short drives for a decent walk (2) stopping to rest or eat on a long walk. Repeated exercise also allowed (though NB not in Wales). /2
All officers should be aware of this guidance, but in case they are not you are fully entitled to show it to them, politely and - this might be the hard bit - from a safe distance. /3
