High drama on #Seaford Town Council as Cllr Geoff Rutland resigns from Conservative Party citing incompetence.

What are 'statements of compatibility' made under Section 19 of the Human Rights Act 1988? What do they do, and what would happen if a Minister in charge of ... Human Rights Act Section 19: Statements of Compatibility

To find out more about these legislative beasties, see my video here:

Section 19 Statement

Section 19 Human Rights Act Statements of Compatibility are in the news, as one is included in the #RwandaBill. Find out what these are, and the impact they have.

I will be one of a number of constitutional law and human rights experts speaking on the Supreme Court’s Rwanda judgment tomorrow (Tuesday) 11:00-12:30. For a Zoom invite, e-mail s.e.berry@sussex.ac.uk.

Hotel room record player.

I’m in Bath for a Basic Income thing, and the University put me up in what may be the swankiest hotel I have ever been in. My room has a record player.

“Eastbourne, near Beachy Head in Sussex, is best known for the white cliffs of Dover and the Seven Sisters walk that passes nearby.” Keep trying, Daily Express.

I enjoyed seeing cattle on the South Downs today too.

Who made this

This is Skadi. We had a lodger for a bit and (long story short) when she moved out, her cat stayed. Likes: mice, sleeping, ear scratches. Dislikes: small children, large crowds, humans shuffling while she sits on them.

If is true of many, mainly older, branded foods. There are dozens of formulations of Nescafé, for example. McDonalds is the same everywhere.

Slightly belated ‘hello’ from me on BlueSky. I tweet public law, local (Seaford) politics, higher education and bore anyone that will listen with my running/cycling. Do introduce me to anyone who might be interested.

Vertical restraints can harm competition.

Absolutely exhausted after first week of term, which was also a week of Council business. Is it just me?

You are welcome. Nice to be in touch with you btw.

I have been spending a few days in Perthshire, going over my Mum’s effects, and helping brother and sister to clear out her house. Honestly not sure what I am feeling, but happy to be heading to Glasgow Airport on way home. Dad’s socket set might raise eyebrows at security.

Wednesday evening, and I am learning about issues in golf course management with my fellow Seaford Town Councillors. Enjoyed talking to the really knowledgeable team at The View as well as driving a golf cart past the most spectacular views in the South of England. #Seaford #publicadministration
