One sec... what?! And how? Image
OK, more information here:

More info here gov.uk/guidance/prepa…
Not sure exactly what legal mechanism behind the "downstream oil protocol" is but I'm sure someone can enlighten us
Here are, I think (thanks @MattJEJackson) the vast emergency powers available to the government at the stroke of a pen (which presumably has been stroked this evening) in the case of an energy crisis. Here we go again! legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1976/76/… Image
I assume there is, somewhere floating around, an Order in Council which exempts oil companies from competition law. Image
IT IS TIME TO TRIGGER THE DOWNSTREAM OIL PROTOCOL
Another candidate for the legal power behind the DOP (as I decree we are now calling it)
Also possible Kwasi Kwarteng has a big red button on his desk which triggers the Downstream Oil Protocol (DOP), currently unclear
Also
Haven't seen the statutory instrument yet, it's not online as far as I can see
It looks like the statutory instrument may be this one, passed 8 years ago but still allowing for a "qualifying protocol" which presumably has now been made, and I guess doesn't need to be published? legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/710/…

Horrific
I hesitate to try and analyse this at all, but I do think it is important that the Met Police Officer, Cousins, fraudulently used *Covid laws* as the means of abducting Sarah Everard. I imagine (though this is speculation) that he did so because he knew they were so wide...
... and poorly understood by the general public that he could convince both Sarah and any witnesses (who apparently saw the fake arrest and assumed she had "done something wrong") that they applied even though Sarah was doing absolutely nothing wrong, walking alone...

Agree this is an interesting case which shows in practice how difficult it now is for a religious organisation to discriminate against homosexual people - the direction of travel in the past decade's case law has been clear
This is an important para - the wider point (which the European Court of Human Rights has been making for years) is that it's difficult to imagine any justified discrimination against homosexuals even where religious doctrine authorises it Image

The proposals were negotiated and approved by the EHRC, as far as I am aware, so whilst Momentum may disagree with them, they cannot be said to be a flawed interpretation of the report
This is Labour’s action plan which as far as I am aware was approved by the EHRC labour.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
Key:
- EHRC issued an unlawful act notice to Labour and made legally binding recommendations
- Labour produced an action plan which EHRC then approved (labour.org.uk/wp-content/upl…)
- EHRC will to monitor and can use enforcement powers if Labour doesn't implement... 1/2

What indeed?
Enjoying that this is not just about understanding the law it’s also about thinking about ethics

I am devastated by the news of the death of my @DoughtyStreet colleague @JonathanCoopr. So much to say about this wise, funny, and intelligent man who devoted his life to human rights and particularly the defence of LGBT+ rights. He lived and breathed the concept of human dignity
I know of him for many years but after I moved to Doughty Street he was particularly kind to me. We recorded two wonderful episodes of the @BHumanPodcast together and I implore everyone to listen to them to get a taste of his irrepressible personality and the impact his work had

Have had a proper detailed read of this judgment now - it’s a polite but very sharp evisceration of the High Court judgment. Particularly the way the lower court handled the evidence and factual findings
It’s this bit and what follows. It is quite extraordinary that the claim failed and the court said it wasn’t its place to reach findings on controversial medical topics but nonetheless it went on to do exactly that
The court of appeal was polite enough but the judges in court below will be wincing I imagine
