1202 York to Stevenage cancelled. What are the ticket acceptance arrangements please @LNER and what is our best route back? (First class tix, for what it’s worth)


Any issues we should know about @ocado ? Had a delivery booked 20:30-21:30 but no sign yet at 22:10 and the app says it’s still on time…


Now Broady has debuted the NightHawk, what will Jimmy call it when he reclaims his role? #TailendersLive

Lots to celebrate!

Congratulations to the whole team, including my little brother. Glass raised to them. Now for a lifetime of his having the overwhelmingly best dinner-party conversation…

Essentially, the government asked barristers to do a whole lot of extra work for no pay. And we did it. For years. Then an independent review said: “pay the barristers” And the govt said, “Nah, we’ll ask them to do even more for free” And barristers have said: no thank you

Barristers are demanding extra cash to pay for the inclusion of videos in rape trials, or risk further court delays if they refuse to take on cases. telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/09/1…

A family grieves, a nation mourns, and a world remembers. Thank you ma’am for a lifetime of public service

The only ones responsible for holding ‘justice to ransom’ are those who have failed to fund a functioning justice system. Yes, it is bringing ‘heartbreak to victims’ but this falls on @DominicRaab & Government, not @TheCriminalBar. Time for honesty and action. #enoughisenough

A window into the heart-wrenching challenge facing us all. Stay and hope it gets better somehow, perhaps through our action, or leave knowing there are less difficult options, but knowing what we leave behind to do it. Perfect summary from @Joanna__Hardy thesecretbarrister.com/2022/07/21/gue…

As pig shit think as @DominicRaab has proved to be, this isn’t ignorance. These are LIES. It wasn’t 43.5% who voted for the strikes. He must be thinking of the % who voted for his govt. The vote to strike was over 80%. The ‘proposed 15% pay rise’ is also a lie. Here’s why:


When was the last time three keepers took a catch in a match for one team @ZaltzCricket ?


Did Zhou's first two free practice 1s this year count as AR's two rookie sessions? @wearetherace @SkySportsF1 @alfaromeoorlen

Anyone else finding CCDCS slow to the extent it is unusable? Good thing criminal barristers never have to work on a bank holiday, eh? I imagine the work will just do itself in court hours while we run our trials.
