Very useful thread on this morning's opinion by the Advocate General in the Wightman Article 50 revocation case
4 Dec 2018
A thread on the AG's Opinion in Wightman. The AG says that the A50 notification is unilaterally revocable; subject to some conditions. If the CJEU follows suit, it will mean that there is no significant EU law impediment to revocation. 1/24

It’s an OPINION not a FINAL RULING. And I shall repeat this approximately 1 million times today.

On the plus side, since @realDonaldTrump hates a drop of rain so much, there's a very good chance he will never visit Ireland.

In Armistice week, whether people wear a poppy or not is up to them: the ‘enforcement squads’ don’t represent veterans. But if you think soldiers celebrate war, or don’t want peace as much as the next citizen you are deluding yourself. Use another symbol. telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/11…

Quick thought: sharing a grossly offensive and upsetting video so that you can tell people how grossly offensive and upsetting it is will probably lead to more people getting grossly offended and upset than if you just, y’know, ignored it.

We should all respect Nemanja Matic's decision not to wear a poppy after Britain bombed Serbia in 1999. James McClean too after the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland mirror.co.uk/sport/football/…

Did our Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson really just compare the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to the border between Camden and Islington on @BBCr4today just now? God help us all this isn’t just stupidity and ignorance but wilful recklessness #r4today

On Law in Action, today, Radio 4, 4pm, why are police and prosecutors so unwilling to disclose evidence that could clear suspects? I’ll be asking the head of @cpsuk Alison Saunders if she still doesn’t think anybody is wrongly in prison today because of these disclosure failures.

Worboys: Metropolitan police lose their appeal over the extent of their investigation duty. @UKSupremeCourt have imposed a wider duty on them than they had argued for. So it’s the worst possible outcome for Met Police.
