How true! Lawyers are not (just) a cost centre.
So disappointing to see major hospitality brands step back from the Better Chicken Commitment when demand & supply of higher‑welfare chicken are growing.
Food service companies should push ahead, not step away.

A smiling Kyren Wilson.
For the second night in-a-row, Kyren Wilson produces some scintillating snooker - from the brink of defeat - to win the final two frames for a 6-5 victory.
Last night Neil Robertson, tonight Wu Yize. It's Wilson versus Higgins for The Paul Hunter Trophy on Sunday.

Hurrah!
How do you feel about lawyers!? Not always popular, obviously... 😉
Hi, have just posted about this event, and also sent you website message on possible Amnesty one. Thanks again!
Poster for Adrian Tchaikovsky event celebrating 10th anniversary of Children of Time at Waterstones Gower Street 27 November.
Very interesting discussion last night at Children of Time 10th anniversary event. About spiders obviously but lots more besides! @aptshadow.bsky.social
Regulation is tightly linked to open, uncensored democratic debate and agreement.
De-regulation removes the democratic element and consigns society’s great power to ‘the invisible hand’ of markets.

In a significant decision in Farley v Paymaster 1836 Ltd (trading as Equiniti) (Equiniti), the England and Wales Court of Appeal has lowered the bar for claimants seeking compensation for breaches of their data protection rights. The Court decided that in England and Wales court proceedings the concept of "non-material damage" arising out of infringements of data protection law is aligned with the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) (for example, as explained in 2023 in the Austria Post case). There is no so-called “threshold of seriousness” that a claimant has to overcome to be entitled to compensation.

3) umpires being pretty relaxed about the light
which means despite dark days and downpours we have had lots of cricket

Grasping in class yesterday for a way of describing the situation where institutions deliberately have procedures in place to slow things down and deny responsibility, I landed on the phrase ‘motivated structural inefficiency’. Widespread and growing, I believe.
Incredible turnout and atmosphere in Budapest as huge crowds march in defiance of Viktor Orbán.
Mayor Karácsony has shown tremendous leadership, and the organisers huge courage.
It was an honour to march in solidarity with Hungary’s LGBTQI+ community.
Thank you. 👏
I love the Amnesty Bookshop in Kentish Town - they have a battle ahead - please support and share if you can

Me as well. What a legend he is…

Surely not in the public interest, and hopefully will not be approved.
But is it a tip or a dump!?
