1. An interesting item in today’s Guardian Journal by David Gauke, ex Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice 2018/19.

   Extract: “The government appears to still be bruised from the supreme court’s ruling over the prorogation of parliament; and, while still in a sulk, it promised in its 2019 manifesto to reconsider how judicial review works to ensure that “it is not abused to conduct politics by other means or to cause needless delay”. It still remains unclear as to how it will do that without removing protections for the individual from an overbearing or irrational state.

   This is also a government that has brought forward legislation – the internal market bill – that breaches international law, as a cabinet minister has acknowledged from the dispatch box. The head of the government legal department and the advocate general resigned as a consequence.”
