Had enough of the way Twitter is heading, so shutting down. Maybe back one day but for now, thanks for all the chat, and (mostly) fun. Bye for now.

Don't let this Williamson sideshow distract from the damage being done by Braverman. It's more camouflage. She shouldn't be near public office of any sort .

Another Braverman update . How she massaged her legal ' achievement' to advance her career. Esp like how her claim to have contributed to an important legal textbook was actually " once asked her to do some photocopying". Private Eye again.
