These are shocking figures of over 40% of children in Leicester living in poverty. Everyone from all parties need to work together to really improve this unfolding disaster!

That percentage applied to the 2019 General Election would have meant 384,000 people being turned away. And that figure wouldn't include people who didn't even go the polling station in the first place because they knew they didn't have the right ID. theguardian.com/politics/202…

UK folks, super important. Photo ID will be required to vote for the next election, but University IDs won't work, risking the silencing of young voices. Students can now get a suitable photo ID for FREE from @nusuk 👇Please RT nus.org.uk/photo-id

I get a few messages from lovely people asking for basic info to counter hostile anti migrant narrative. So I’ve pulled this together to try and cover the typical points - hopefully it helps with those awkward dinner discussions or difficult family members.
Following the report in the Guardian this week about the Home Office decision not to award funding for Windrush help to our Legal Advice Clinic, head of Law School @ProfKyd and I have issued a statement. Reported further by @CivilSocietyUK: civilsociety.co.uk/news/home…
“Civil servants approved applications from 15 organisations to receive about £10,000 of funding each..their decision was blocked by the home secretary’s private office because..two of the groups had retweeted posts expressing criticism of the Home Office.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

Pupillage Interview Advice Thread #1 - Preparation
The first interview invites are out, so it seems like a good time for me to put together some general pointers based on my experience of sitting on pupillage committees. First up, preparation. (1/11)

A thread about LASPO and the @MoJGovUK Review of Civil Legal Aid, which has now been formally launched. Excuse the length - I may be just a little bit fed up...
