Please attend this important meeting. There has been contradictory information about the use of reports issued under this pilot and the impact that will have upon obtaining independent Prt 25 experts in these most complex and controversial cases.
The DfE Suspicious Head injury pilot. What do we know about its impact & implications? Will its pilot reports impact on part 25 expert instruction ? What do we gain & lose by such reports? Join us @FamilyLawBar. 10th Oct, 6-7. This is too important an issue not to engage with.

This is heartbreaking. Please support this vital campaign
Matthew Caseby died as a result of neglect at the Priory. Yet they have still not implemented life-saving recommendations. His father Richard & our very own @DebatINQUEST spoke to @BBCr4today about our #NoMoreDeaths campaign to end preventable deaths. inquest.org.uk/no-more-death…

@ThanetCouncil @robyatestweets bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-la… seems it is possible to preserve such buildings and keep them functioning if a good case is made. Now for Margate, before it is too late!

A poignant thread in the current climate. We must stand together.
I don’t usually get personal on here but…🧵 My Dad is a refugee who made Ireland his home. He fled a repressive Czechoslovakia in 1967 at the age of 18. His older brother, Standa, had been imprisoned - for being gay they think - and was beaten to death in jail by guards...

Utterly tragic and appalling in equal measure.
BREAKING 🚨 | Up to a dozen Grenfell firefighters have sadly been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

This. Just this. Our criminal justice system has been dismantled before our very eyes.
£357.60. Grand total for solicitor as litigator running a theft Crown Court trial case for 2 yrs and 4 months. Approx. 20 hrs time spent. Not Guilty after jury trial. It's these cases Legal Aid practitioners will have to refuse moving forwards. They make a huge loss to firms.
This is utterly tragic.
Sky News has spoken to a devastated family who say their five-year old child died this week after their pleas for him to be admitted into hospital were dismissed by staff at @RotherhamNHS_FT who told them they didn't have any spare beds. This is the story of Yusuf Mahmud Nazir.

Anyone wanting any cross examination top tips - watch this MP do it brilliantly!
My top tip to any witness giving evidence to a select committee is: answer the question!

@BBCr4today it is not a “new government that has been in power a month” it is a new leader of the Tory party. This government has been in power 12 years!
Replying to @BBCr4today
@BBCr4today why is the use of the phrase ‘with a new government’ being continually used by Tory ministers and MPs not being challenged at every utterance? We do not have a new government! We have the same government with a new leader and a cabinet reshuffle. Stop the spin!
Brilliant. Needed in bucketfuls to do this job…

I’m a sucker for slapstick but this is off the scale…!
Emu throwing Rod Hull into a freezer. That's what we need today.

A really important thread about the reality of our care system. Full of admiration for you @RebekahPierre92
11 years ago today I was a care-leaver receiving my A level results, having spent almost 2 years in unregulated accommodation. No additional marks were given for having written coursework with no electricity, having done exams on 3 hrs sleep given the raves, police incidents &...
