The Tories appear to be out on the attack today. Why would they be feeling so thin-skinned?

From the man who told me to âshow some gutsâ for warning about this *during summer*... âPM Boris Johnson has suggested the recent spike in coronavirus cases in the UK is a result of a "fraying of people's discipline" over the summer.â

I understand if people now feel they can disregard Govt guidance. But please donât. We are nearly at the point where we can emerge, step by step, from this testing isolation. Each of us following our own instincts, and what we feel to be reasonable, will set that back. #StayHome

I listened to an expert, Prof. Sarah Gilbert, a vaccinologist at Oxf., being interviewed this morning. Not long following there was an interview with the politician who once said weâd all had enough of experts (Michael Gove). Guess which interview I found most informative?

I know less about judicial review than I perhaps should, as a lawyer. (Not my practice area.) This from @jessphillips is an important practical view on the good it can do. Our politicians and public bodies should not be above the law or scrutiny.
Thread. I find the proposals to "review" the judges and and judicial review process chilling. Having assisted with a number of judicial reviews and super complaints to protect victims of domestic abuse I can see that without the courts citizens would have been less safe.

Parliament did not âblockâ the Conservative-negotiated Withdrawal Agreement. They literally passed it. J-Dog, meanwhile, voted against a previous Conservative-negotiated Withdrawal Agreement. Just as Boris Johnson did. Why would he not mention this? âCommon senseâ, presumably.
