1/2 Just a quick one - Twitter is amazing for getting a message out and helping it get to the people it needs to. I'm hoping people can help with this.

I've got a few empty flats over Xmas/NY in Glasgow which are available free for those escaping domestic violence or homeless. 2/2 They are furnished and in the West End/City Centre.

I'm happy to provide food and clothing as well. There's just no sense on these places being empty and people having nowhere to go.

1/ Wee thread - I was in a meeting yesterday with Presidents of the ETs and others from HMCTS, BEIS etc.

They were able to provide a insight into the backlog in the Employment Tribunal for #ukemplaw.

The only regions which had to list for 2022 are South East/South London 2/ This is due to a chronic lack of resources. Thankfully, this has been recognised by the President of E&W and there is a large tranche of newly minted Judges who will be allocated to these problem regions.

Owing to restrictions on training etc. they will come in from 2021.

Thread on my grandfather who passed away due to Covid-19 this afternoon.

1/ Sorry to post this, but it’s important we do not simply see statistics and remember the human impact. I am utterly heartbroken, my grandfather was admitted to hospital last Sunday with symptoms 2/ He battled heroically but eventually succumbed late this afternoon.

From when he came over to the UK in the 60s, he remained steadfast in his faith – that of humanity. He faced up to the National Front and horrific racism with a smile, for him, these people weren’t enemies
