Another excellent legal mind joins Government. @sarahsackman is a new MP, superb lawyer, and someone who has gone into politics for the right reasons. After years of Govt dismissing lawyers’ expertise, this looks like a Govt that will value good lawyers doing good lawyering.

Very pleased to see Matrix colleague Richard Hermer KC appointed Attorney General. A superb lawyer who will bring experience, judgement and legal acumen to the role. A great start for lawyers and the rule of law, from the new Prime Minister.

Was I the only one who was surprised to hear the Health Secretary say on @BBCr4today that the entire NHS annual budget for dental care in England is about £3bn? That’s about £55 per person per year. It doesn’t seem like a lot.

Listen to Danny Friedman KC speaking to @TVNaga01 on @bbc5live about why he & 7 other Jewish lawyers wrote in the @FT about the need for the Israel-Gaza war to be guided by international law. You won't listen to a more thoughtful conversation 👇 youtu.be/8I3L2UvG_A8?si…

Thousands of innocent civilians have already been killed in Israel and Gaza. With the humanitarian crisis set to deteriorate even further, I’m calling for a ceasefire.

UK Govt does seem to be out of sync with others on its wishes legal moves against encrypted communications. Even more worrying is the lack of appetite to take on this issue by the UK political parties not currently in Govt: daringfireball.net/2023/08/kouvak…

In a society that claims respect for freedom of expression is core to its identity… why does one type of music get approached so differently? The Guardian view on rap and drill music: a song should not land the young in jail. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This, from @mryderkc about his client, Alvin Black, and Andrew Malkinson who we spoke to this week is important and we still hope to hear from the CCRC @BBCr4today

But the main reason I went on was because I think often about my client Alvin Black. If Alvin was still alive he’d have urged me to take the opportunity to say publicly ‘Alvin Black was an innocent man’. So I’m glad I at least got to do that for him today.

I’m grateful I got to talk on @BBCr4today about the need to implement existing Parliamentary Committee recommendations about CCRC reform that can and should already have been implemented. It’d be great to hear shadow Justice Secretary @SteveReedMP commit to doing so.
