Why does it take a lawyer spending time with a vulnerable detainee to recognise how acutely unwell he is, when three custody nurses, two of whom are allegedly mental health specialist ALL say fit for interview? Interview averted and an acutely unwell male now receiving treatment

So the senior judiciary & CPS have been consulted about running 24 hr courts to deal with disorder taking place across the country. Has there been any engagement with defence lawyers over this proposal? It was chaotic & ill-conceived at the time of the London #riots.

Fantastic planning @TfL and @MC_HighwaysEng to decide to close the #blackwalltunnel and #dartfordbridge on the same night. 4 hours to travel from Islington to Bexley. Muppets!! Let’s have some joined up thinking.

Shocking that a young 17 year old facing a serious allegation involving a stabbing cannot be assessed by a child psychiatrist as so many now refuse to work at #legalaid rates. #youthjustice

@MoJGovUK & @HMCTSgovuk your hopeless management of the court estate illustrates perfectly the same underinvestment is the criminal justice system. A decaying system now at dangerous levels. Get a grip! #justice #courts standard.co.uk/news/london/c…

A tweet today from a pupil who has her first CC trial tomorrow. If an opponent tells you it’s their first trial, please be kind & encouraging, whilst still doing your job properly. If they do well, tell them!
We all had to start somewhere.
