I told you: now the bill's sponsors (this is the disgraceful barrister-Labour MP Jake Richards) are saying that the High Court approval should be dropped because there aren't enough judges to approve the applications (as we told them).

Assisted dying, Private Members’ Bills and government neutrality The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is β€” quite rightly β€” attracting a great deal of attention from politicians, commentators, civil society organisations and others. Strong views exist on …

Just reposting my piece from yesterday on the constitutional questions raised by the assisted dying Bill. The more I think about it, the odder the Cabinet Secretary’s position on ministerial neutrality seems.

How mayors can help improve public services A short bonus post this week (my main one is coming at the weekend) as I have a report out on mayors and public services which may be of interest to readers.

Good article - makes a lot of sense. There’s needs to be more devolution and mayors are the (now) obvious way to do it

A trio of somewhat depressing blog posts about open justice not going quite as it ought to in the family court…
First up, our legal blogger @maggotlaw.bsky.social's account of trying and failing to observe a family court hearing in the magistrates court

Spurs looking much better but keeper looks shaky and 2-1 isn’t the greatest of leads

Talks ongoing about guideline hourly rates for counsel Lord Justice Birss says there needs to be a better way to assess counsel fees.

No reason why GHR couldn’t exist for counsel

New Champions League format is already a disaster; there is no sport without jeopardy This is what UEFA wanted: A bloated Champions League with no jeopardy for the big clubs. They got what THEY wanted anyway.

The new champions league format sucks

In a shameless attempt to grow my following on here, I'm going to be giving away a GE2024 poster to one lucky winner who retweets this post (and is following) in 24 hours time. Best of luck!
