Crackdowns on lawyers, judges, prosecutors are part of a longstanding authoritarian playbook used globally to silence dissent.

Jasmine Cameron, Fernanda Nicola, and Natalie Landau examine the responses in a half dozen countries and possible lessons for the US legal community:
Attacks on U.S. Legal Profession Reflect Global Slide in Countries It Once Aided
Political pressures like those used to silence legal professionals and undermine rule of law in Europe and Eurasia echo autocratic patterns.

It is a fundamental principle for Islington Labour that the borough should welcome refugees - and that is why, under Labour control, our Council adopted ‘Borough of Sanctuary’ status in 2022. Labour on your side.

The latest economic growth figures show the UK as the fastest growing economy in the G7 group of nations in the first six months of this year. A long way to go, but progress is being made. Labour on your side.

This is not a Labour Party project, but a great way to forge connections with refugees.

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

My statement on the recognition of Palestine ⤵️
The government’s decision to recognise a Palestinian state alongside France in September is a historic moment and great news. While we all wish that Israel would agree to end the hunger and suffering in Gaza, commit to a long-term sustainable peace including two states, and rule out annexation of the West Bank, there seems little possibility that the far-right Netanyahu government will agree to those terms. The UK will recognise Palestine in September. I have been calling on the government to take this step for months. In our major report published last week, my committee recommended that the UK and France - as co-signatories of the Sykes-Picot Agreement which carved up the Middle East - must recognise the state of Palestine while there is still a state to recognise. We must not underestimate the significance of this move. Recognition is not an end by itself: it must be the first step to a long-term, two-state solution. First, UN-administered aid must flow in straightaway. Next, the government must urgently kickstart the political process. The Prime Minister, alongside our allies in Europe and the Gulf and Arab states, should present President Trump with a plan. Only he can sway Prime Minister Netanyahu. It is our responsibility to take a leadership role in bringing this conflict to an end. This move shows the UK is willing to be part of that effort. 29 July 2025

PM tells @emilythornberry.bsky.social at Liaison C'tee that the EU Summit is yearly "not just to monitor progress but to go further" each year. Hints that medicines and artists' touring visas are very much on the menu of "common sense changes... that have very little to do with the vote in 2016".~AA

Pope Leo XIV will address a packed baseball stadium in Chicago on Saturday, greeting a U.S. audience directly for the first time and offering a glimpse of the potential impact of the first American papacy.
At Chicago baseball stadium, Pope Leo makes his first pitch to America
Chicago’s elation over the hometown boy’s election led to a huge party for the first U.S. pope, who will begin to chart his historic path.

This week, Cllr Nurullah Turan and I wrote to the Tribune expressing our readiness to work with the Ministry of Justice to bring the homes on Wellington Mews in Laycock Ward back into use. Our residents need good quality, affordable homes and these family sized units would provide just that.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
