My special report out today in @lawsocgazette is published with @TBIJ. I interview a mother who alleges the evidence of a court-appointed psychologist was used by her ex-partner to bolster his harassment of her after she was accused of parental alienation. shorturl.at/GTV39

My @tortoise story today on private companies providing children’s social care - just *one* co’s accounts show £136 million of taxpayers’ money funnelled to private equity lenders instead of into caring for children. Thanks to @MartinBarrow for alert. tortoisemedia.com/2024/03/27…

At the @killedwomen protest at parliament, where “grave markers” have been erected.
Based on a national survey of bereaved relatives of women killed by male violence, we’ve published a report that reveals a litany of failures for families and their killed loved ones.
Be a voice for Killed Women. Go to killedwomen.org/thereport to share it with your MP.

What is so wrong about this @bbcquestiontime is: Geneva Conventions + UN Security Resolution 2286 clear on this, UN health agencies are screaming out for this to stop, & you have no Palestinian health experts on the panel. Another example of health attacks as clickbait

How do you put a price on the loss of freedom? Can you inherit guilt? Should descendants of slave-owners have to pay reparations? If so, how much?

I got chucked out of class for reading my mum's copy of Flowers in the Attic, age 11. Sophie's World at 14 turned me into a vegetarian. The Handmaid's Tale at 16 was my first taste of feminism. Having to censor books is heartbreaking

Excellent article by @JudithMoritz who covered the #lucyletby trial in full. That must have been a tough one. I doubt we’ll ever know why Lucy did it. I doubt even Lucy does.

Popping this here as I go off to IPSA and then my first proper holiday since December. Tempted to not come back.

ALT Dear Colleague, I am writing following my email of 30th May 2023 (please see below). As you know from the email from the Principal on Thursday 6th July 2023, the national Higher Education marking and assessment boycott called by UCU continues to have an impact in a small number of disciplinary areas at Queen Mary.

In my last email I advised that pay would be withheld from staff participating in the marking and assessment boycott across 2 windows, up to 13th July 2023. We are now aware that there are likely to be some marks still outstanding beyond 13th July 2023. I am writing now to advise you that if colleagues continue to participate in the boycott, and therefore continue to breach their contracts of employment, a 3rd window of pay deductions will be applied in September 2023 payroll for the period 14th July – 4th August 2023. This marks the pe
