The High Court has ruled that the government's Net Zero Strategy is unlawful because the minister delegated to approve it did so without all the necessary information to legally make that decision. Rowan Smith represents Friends of the Earth leighdaylaw.info/3zqVCSR

People are dying in the Channel because of the government's border policies. It's a political choice to force people to risk their lives.

That's at the core of what's happening here. Nothing else.

#HumanRightsDay human rights for all humans

Pupils start the new school year in Taez, Yemen

Legal rights cannot be rewritten through rhetoric.

Our justice system determines the validity of claims *independently* from government, media and public opinion

.Law Society President: Repeated govt attacks on the integrity of the legal profession are deeply concerning. This divisive language serves nobody and puts lawyers and their clients at risk.

All solicitors advise their clients on *their rights under the laws created by parliament*

.Bindmans, Irwin Mitchell, Bhatt Murphy, Deighton Pierce Glynn and Leigh Day have written to the Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary, Robert Buckland, to voice concerns about the review of public law announced in July

Seriously, the fact that *the pub is opening in a fortnight* is more newsworthy than the government removing the right to jury trial? Of greater public interest? Where the hell are your news values?

The Home Office doesn't ever record ethnicity data about its decisions if it can help it.

Means racial bias can be rife in the immigration system but remain hidden.

UK accused of selling arms to Saudi Arabia a year after court ban theguardian.com/world/2020/jun…

Poll shows a majority of people think aid should be about reducing poverty, *not* the ‘national interest’. So, unsurprisingly, the more aid is wasted promoting British business, the more support for it will fall. #DfIDmerger theguardian.com/politics/2020/…

British arms company BAE Systems sold over £15 billion of arms to Saudi during the bombing of Yemen.

Ports were blockaded and vital infrastructure was bombed. It was estimated that over 85k children had already starved by late 2018.

Are BAE Systems implicated in this famine?
