I don’t begrudge them this pay rise. Well worth it. 14 years without a rise in FAS rates does irritate.

The under estimation of the importance of cross examination in the family justice system is a continued concern

When a child goes home, with no NAI findings made, after a hard fought, apparently ‘no hoper’ fact find;where all medical experts are against you; where it’s cross examination that makes a difference to outcome- we renew the fight & right to have court time & experts in the box

Something collapsing due to the state no longer subsidising it with lots of spending just means that thing isn't sustainable. Something collapsing because the government has whacked a big tax on it is a little different.

Replying to @DanNeidle
If we impose a £100,000 tax on men with beards then we cannot calculate the revenue as (£100,000 x number of men with beards). There would be an obvious taxpayer response (shaving), and the actual revenue would be close to zero.

There's quite a bit bubbling up on social media about whether @Keir_Starmer, who was Director of Public Prosecutions from 2008 to 2013, should have intervened in the @PostOffice's prosecutions of sub-postmasters during the Horizon scandal. Is this fair? 🧵

Alarming but not surprising. OASYS risk assessment grades of “high” “medium” or “low” risk are often thrown around quite freely in family courts where an offender is seeking contact. I’ve always thought them utterly opaque and never got any sensible explanation of how they work.
