All we want is effective and fair policing! Thanks to the @guardian for giving @FfrenchKatrina and our talented volunteers @bananaphilos and Benson a platform to constructively discuss @BorisJohnson and @pritit's recent #stopsearch announcement. theguardian.com/law/2019/aug…

The home secretary’s extension of police stop and search powers is mere political grandstanding, says Katrina Ffrench of the charity StopWatch

Tut, tut tut... Dishonesty at it's finest! The @metpoliceuk Commissioner should know her facts! Disappointing and very worrying that she presented evidence of #stopsearch engagement with @StopWatchUK which misled the Committee chaired by @YvetteCooperMP. theguardian.com/law/2019/aug…

So the PM's human shield @AmberRuddHR has gone. But accountability for this madness goes way beyond her. That's why @LeighDay_Law's class action against the government is about more than just compensation for lives destroyed. #Windrush

I cannot but admire Merlene Emerson and her team for tirelessly seeking to take the Lib Dems into the 21st century when it comes to BME representation and inclusion. Is the party ready to change? Well, if it doesn't it wont' survive, simple! teapawt.net/merleneemerson/status/…

75% of all drug offences in England & Wales were cannabis offences - while other countries decriminalise possession, or even legally regulate the trade. Doesn't seem like a valuable way to spend taxpayers' money, does it? 💸 talkingdrugs.org/three-quart…

Damning report into companies relabelling low-skilled jobs as apprenticeships. It is also scandalous that companies can call low-skilled jobs apprenticeships to let them get away with paying their staff £3.70 per hour instead of a fair wage for their work. bbc.co.uk/news/education-437…
Firms relabelling low-skilled jobs as apprenticeships, says report

1. Legal position seems thin. In absence of UN resolution or self defence - the two clear cut legal grounds for attack - reliance is on averting humanitarian crisis. But not easy to see how humanitarian crisis - the result of years of civil war - will be helped by air strikes. teapawt.net/bbclaurak/status/98515…
