WIN: High Court throws out Β£8m lawsuit over tax avoidance investigation | Good Law Project We have successfully defended award-winning journalist Dan Neidle from an β€˜oppressive’ claim which tried to silence him – but the law still needs reform

We've won the UK's first ever SLAPP suit - acting for @danneidle.bsky.social - and made some really important law protecting the right to call out barristers whose misconduct facilitates aggressive tax avoidance.

Phone theft can have a traumatic impact on victims, and it can end up funding global organised crime.

Phone crime was driven down last year, but we’re not complacent. We’re uniting cities, police and tech companies to make stolen phones harder to reset, reuse and resell.

The Ayatollah's were put in power by the "West" after the "West" turned against the Shah.

In the 50's the democratic government was hit by the "West" after the democratically elected govt planned to nationalise OIL.

It's all about money and power, not people!

I don't care about governments, I care about people.

IRAN was a democracy until the govts of UK and USA intervened, throwing the country in to decades of human rights abuse and death.

Forced regime change never works.

Did Badenoch really just say that Starmer is asking the same questions as last week?

She’s the one who asks the questions, not Starmer.

Chile's new president is extremely right-wing, Catholic, with Nazi roots. But women in Chile are strong and organized. β€œWomen are having abortions right now, they will be doing it tomorrow, and they will keep doing it – no rightwing government will stop that." - member of Con las Amigas y En La Casa
