Thanks for mention @HarrietHarman @amanpour
'Nobody knows what is going on! Court staff cannot access info about cases. Case records duplicated.' - some of the findings of @TransformJust1's Court Watcher research on magistrates' courts, trailed in @lawsocgazette. Full report out later this month. lawgazette.co.uk/features/crowd…
How a change to UK law could protect children from sex offender fathers | CNN- @HarrietHarman talking to @CNN cnn.com/videos/tv/2024…
This happened today .. appreciative and rather overwhelmed as I am, I do want to say that in broadcasting, every ‘individual’ contribution comes amid a team effort. So - thank you colleagues and friends @BBCr4today @BBCRadio4 And of course thank you @vlvuk

If you're a journalist who has reported from one of the transparency pilot family courts, please might you DM me? I co-ordinate the project @TBIJ runs to support journalists wanting to report under the new rules, and would really value the chance to hear your impressions. Pls RT
Brilliant. As always from @StuartDenman

Really enjoyed doing Newscast with @adamfleming @HarrietHarman and @Familoo . Great to go into detail about Family Courts, Transparency and plans to change the law so those convicted of raping children under 13 lose parental rights bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/…
Fantastic work by @Sanchia7. Family courts put the rights of paedophile fathers above protecting children. Insane. Now that will change. Scrutiny is the enemy of injustice. As a journalist it doesn't get better than changing an unjust law

"It's obviously wrong, there will be a change in the law now." A report on #R4Today by @Sanchia7 highlighted how convicted paedophiles keep parental rights over their own children. Labour MP Harriet Harman tells @Marthakearney how she pushed for change after hearing the report.
Thank you Hannah!
Here is one reason we champion more reporting of family courts. It can lead to change.

Shocking this is new law. But you can’t put law right unless you can see it going wrong. This was only exposed due to the limited opening of family courts & @Sanchia7’s superb reporting. It was hidden for years, with the cost falling on mothers. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-688307…
Over my many years as a journalist my stories have often made an impact- discussed in other media or in parliament, influenced policy . But I think this is the first occasion when one of my reports looks likely to change the law .@MeirionTweets @louisetickle @Hoskea10

‘Nowhere else is available’: how vulnerable children end up in illegal care homes- good work by @_tomwall following Family cases in the High Court theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
This is incredible. Rishi Sunak "forgot" to consult health chiefs about Eat-Out-to-Help-Out-The-Virus which sparked 2nd wave but spent weeks & £2M (of our money) on focus groups to try to make £850M splurge acceptable to voters. Great work @PippaCrerar theguardian.com/business/2024/…

Why inquest reporting is important 👇🏻
Breaking: In what is believed to be a UK-first, a jury has concluded that a suicide inside prison amounted to unlawful killing. Robert Fenlon took his own life while on remand at HMP Woodhill in 2016. An inquest heard a litany of failings which contributed to his death
Staff were filmed hitting and kicking pupils at a special school and leaving them in their urine. @NoelTitheradge & I discovered that despite proven abuse some staff are still employed there and have not been barred from working with children. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-688973…
When I was a TV political reporter with Newsnight & C4 News, if I'd said only a few months before a general election that I was thinking of standing in that election, I would have expected the BBC or ITN to sack me.
🟣Nigel Farage had emailed: "The really big decision is whether to re-enter the front lines of British politics. If I do this it will come at a considerable sacrifice, as it did before. My thoughts are full of this at this moment in time & I will decide in the next few weeks."

16/if I seem a bit sceptical. Thus far I don’t think this article proves its case—the evidence seems circumstantial. Let’s see if the book will. In the meantime you could read my biography of Blunt. Ends
9/ considered ‘benign’, as Verkaik does. Among 1000s of documents he passed the Soviets, he handed over the secret of the breaking of the Enigma code; all the details of Allies D Day Deception plans and the plan to trick the Germans into thinking Montgomery was in Gilbraltar, to
8/ his guilt ever come out at all? The reason the story was kept quiet for 15 years was because MI5, MI6 and the government knew the story would be incredibly damaging to them, not for any love of him. 6) No one who writes seriously about Blunt would say that he was
6/3) ‘Many’ of Blunt’s ‘sub-agents’ were not ‘former lovers’: one was, his then boyfriend Jackie Hewit, who arranged meetings with a landlady of a pub where the Swedish legation drank. Suggesting that a gay man slept with all the gay men he knew -well, draw your own conclusions.
4/a story with ramifications that that are felt today,’ it seems to me you need to get the details right. 1) Blunt did not die, nor ever lived, anywhere near Highgate. He died in his flat in Bayswater, north of Hyde park. 2) I am certain that Blunt was never ‘tipped to be
5/director general’ of MI5, he was always a wartime appointment who was going back to art history after the war—though I’m very happy to be corrected. Nor do I think Blunt ‘was writing Churchill’s personal security briefings’—but very happy to be shown evidence if he did.
3/& conspiracy theory has accumulated over the years, you should get all your facts right. There are mistakes, and I feel, misrepresentations, in the article. They may be small things, but if you have ‘uncovered one of the greatest spy mysteries of the 20th century,
2/also ‘agent Josephine’ who passed incredibly damaging info from inside MI5 to the Nazis. It’s a big accusation, which I don’t think the article stands up. Maybe the book does. If you’re going to make a serious argument about someone like Anthony Blunt, around whom much nonsense
