@mrjamesob.bsky.social we are seeing an influx of UK doctors to Canada. Better working conditions, better pay, better life. A UK GP averages 41.5 face to face patients a day and 30 phone consultations. UK governments say they can’t tax the rich because they’ll leave. Who is more valuable?

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Today the news will be about the government's proposals for juries.
Please read this thread so as to be informed about the actual practical problems in the criminal justice system - problems which will not be solved by this misconceived and illiberal tinkering.

Our heating pipes are ‘knocking’. Gas CH, initially installed decades ago, radiators added and moved over the years, lots of dead end pipes and a higgledy piggledy flow pattern. Would love a house where I could afford to put heating in from scratch! And yes, I know I’m lucky to have the problem.

In Nepal, the festival of Kukur Tihar, is dedicated to celebrating & worshipping Dogs for their loyalty, love, and their bond with us. They are honored as faithful protectors & companions. In Hindu belief, dogs are the vehicle of Bhairava, a form of Lord Shiva. They guard the doors of Heaven

Gove has been an extremely poisonous influence on our politics. Undermining expert consensus on Brexit [had enough of experts, etc] and lying his way through the whole process in the aftermath of the Referendum. A travesty that he is on this panel of judges assessing political writing.
I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

It is crucial for passengers that our voices are heard and that the bill delivers on the hopes and expectations of passengers. But this has not happened.
