What is supremely daft about this line of attack from Phillipson is that any lawyer motivated by profit would not be acting in special needs cases.
There are far more lucrative areas for any lawyer motivated by profit.

No problem! It was a great brain stretch
New Street is one of the circles of Hell, I'm reasonably confident
Birmingham Moor Street station gives the impression of a toy station that has somehow escaped from a quaint train set and is now hiding, nestled between the inner ring roads and shopping centre of Brum.
Glorious, but it really belongs on a biscuit tin cover.
Proper pant gnomes logic here.
I didn't know about the proposed changes to student visas. That'll have an interesting impact on university admissions 😬

These are fun! I spent a while on 7; should the first image be singular?
Kesha blasts the White House for using her song “Blow” in a military video.
During World War II, Nazi Germany invaded more than a dozen countries. It subjected the populations of those countries to varying degrees of oppression. At the same time, German propagandists tried to win public support in occupied lands. The propaganda shared enticing visions of a prosperous “new order” in Europe. Nazi Germany claimed it was saving western civilization from “Jewish bolshevism.” However, Nazi brutalities against civilian populations helped to negate the power of those messages
When Hegseth, Rubio, and their ilk talk about saving the Western Civilization from globalization and radical leftism for the benefit of "cultural cohesion" in Europe - it sounds very familiar. exhibitions.ushmm.org/propaganda/1...
if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it
we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes
As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.
Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.
Shabana Mahmood vows to stick with hardline migration policies after byelection defeat Home secretary will defy ‘plain wrong’ calls from unions and leftwing MPs that she is alienating Muslim voters
By taking a far-right approach to immigration policy, cracking down on rights and placing it high on the agenda, Labour has not just turned its own voters away
It has mainstreamed far-right politics and strengthened Reform, both politically and electorally
Them doubling down should be unforgivable
Between this and Brexit it's starting to look like they want the Troubles back
Quentin Tarantino should have been run out of town for speaking ill of this man
Another reminder that not all the activism you see is visible
Okay, I have to talk about it, Kemi Badenoch responding to her candidate LOSING HER DEPOSIT by insisting she was the only normal candidate in the race and is a sign of a new party is a spectacular insight into the Conservative's woes and I keep thinking about it.
This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water.
He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him.

When Bishop Gene Robinson came to our festival he made a lasting impression on Dave, from our OUT team. “Hearing how the first openly gay bishop kept his cool and his faith in the midst of the storm of criticism and hostility from some parts of the church was eye-opening" #LGBTHistoryMonth
This is what 35 years of Fox News has created in our country: an entire generation of men who delight in and are rewarded for cruelty to black and queer children.
And every time this happens, unions talk about pay and conditions and VCs issue statements saying they're looking at pay and can't understand why the strikes are going ahead. Pay *and conditions*. Everyone is swamped and overworked.
Never ceases to amaze me that "working to contract" can be a form of industrial action in the UK.

Yes so — extremely ironically — Labour *still* has by some way the best chance of winning a majority at the next GE but only if it materially changes course.
As the analysis starts of the Gorton and Denton result, I wanted to flag some aspects that my experience yesterday suggests are being over or under-played
(Caveats - I went to Longsight, Gorton and Denton town centres and spoke to as many people as I could, but it was mostly during the working day)
This really feels like crossing a rubicon, frankly.
So the candidate who left school at 16 with no A-Levels and who's spent her whole adult life vocational, manual jobs beat the ivory tower academic turned cushy media pundit, but you can be sure we'll still get plenty more casual description of the latter as "white working class".
Spectator headline "The Green party is playing with fire in Gorton" by Ed West.
Dunno Ed, if I had to pick a party in Gorton that's "playing with fire" I think I might take a closer look at the Blood and Soil chaps micro-parsing who gets to call themselves English and flirting with Great Replacement Theory, not the nice Greens lady encouraging brown people to vote.
The media attack line on the Greens seems to all be variations of it being unfair that they directly appealed to Muslim voters, which they describe as "sectarianism". Tells you basically all you need to know about the Overton Window these days.
First thing I said to my wife this am after hearing the by-election result: "Maybe the Tories and Labour will finally see the value of PR..."
Here's hoping....
If you add the Green vote to the votes I received, I tied for first place. Where do I apply for the job share?
