    As a lawyer, I can confirm that I frequently compose tweets confessing to crimes and send them from my clients’ twitter accounts. It’s the first thing you learn at law school.

    If I’m worried about my vision, driving a car containing my family for 30 miles is a bold choice of eye test.

    The Prime Minister has basically copied and pasted my blogpost into a thread and passed it off as his own explanation. A blogpost which I had to write to rebut the lies he spent yesterday spouting. This is weapons grade shithousery.

    The terrible Khan case has highlighted a complicated area of law. There have been many inaccuracies reported about this case over the last 24 hours. Here are the details (1/16)

    🔷 DEFENCE STATEMENT 🔷 1. There was no party 2. If there was a party, I did not attend 3. If I did attend the party, I did not realise it was a party 4. If I attended the party and realised it was a party, I did not know that parties were banned under the rules that I wrote.

    I’m no US constitutional lawyer, but if inciting a coup isn’t an impeachable offence, I’d say there’s something wrong with your system.

    This has the potential to be an absolutely incredible appointment. I need to sit down.

    I cannot understand why #r4today is providing a platform for family and friends of Ghislaine Maxwell to proclaim her innocence and undermine the jury’s verdicts. Is this service to be made available to all convicted sex offenders?

    An Attorney General who is a genuine heavyweight silk with decades of experience in domestic and international public law? Somebody chosen on the basis of legal acumen and merit rather than their willingness to tell the Prime Minister whatever he wants to hear? Well I never.

    I’ll have a go. Because Obama didn’t: 🔹sexually assault women 🔹violate the rule of law 🔹threaten to silence the free press 🔹describe the KKK as “very fine people” 🔹mock the disabled 🔹lie about literally everything 🔹abuse his position for self-gain 🔹say racist things 24/7

    Free legal advice: You don’t have to attend a riot to be prosecuted for conspiracy to riot. You don’t have to be present at a terrorist incident to be guilty of encouraging it. A lot of Twitter warriors will be getting some unpleasant knocks on the door over the coming weeks.

    Blunt utensils will replace kitchen knives in the homes of victims of domestic violence. It's hoped it will help save lives - what do you think ? bit.ly/2MKWivK

    I can’t think of many times in my career as a criminal prosecutor when the police have refused to look for evidence on the basis that they currently don’t have enough evidence.
