Andy George called out police racism – so the police investigated him | Good Law Project

1 week ago | goodlawproject.org | Alex Christian

When Andy George spoke out about the fact that Black and Asian police officers are more likely to face investigations for misconduct, the police hit him with a misconduct investigation of his own. In October 2024, the officer who shot Chris Kaba in the head was cleared of murder. Less than a month later, the Metropolitan Police promoted him to inspector. As president of the National Black Police Association, it’s part of Andy’s role to talk about racism in the police.

You can tell whether a thing is important to lawyers because it gets its own Latin tag. One of them – perhaps the most important – is audi alteram partem, that both sides should be heard. You don’t actually need to be a lawyer to know it’s important. In our bones we all know it’s impossible for fairness to happen without hearing both sides of the story. Except that the Supreme Court forgot.

As AI systems drive a coach and horses through the UK’s culture of policing by consent, police forces up and down the UK have drawn a veil over links with the US spy-tech company Palantir. Last year, Palantir signed a contract worth more than £800,000 with Leicestershire Police to supply an “intelligence and investigation platform”.
A good cause? How charities funnelled £28m into rightwing think-tanks

Jan 18, 2025 | goodlawproject.org | Max Colbert

The list of “charitable purposes” in the law that governs charities conjures up the wide range of good causes that people in England and Wales support. The jumble sales, fun runs and sponsored swims that volunteers organise up and down the country all fund projects that “benefit” the public, from life-long learning to almshouses, from local sports clubs to drop-in centres for disabled children.
Kids deserve love, Kids Company deserves justice

Jan 16, 2025 | goodlawproject.org | Jo Maugham

We don’t talk much about what kids without parents really need. Somewhere safe to live, yes, but also love. To be cherished, to be told their lives have value, to understand that they matter just as ‘normal’ children do. And for a sliver of time, kids in England who learned from bitter experience that their lives were measured only in cost got something different. They learned what it was to be loved.
When billionaires go rogue, it's time to organise

Elon Musk is going to war with the UK Labour Party. Over the last several weeks, he has used his massive platform to draw attention to the child sexual exploitation scandal exposed in Rotherham more than a decade ago. Musk has accused Starmer of facilitating the crimes, stating that the Prime Minister has been “complicit in the rape of Britain”. Musk has latched on to Rotherham because it has become a wedge issue for the far right.

Now Tom Hayhoe has been appointed as the new covid corruption commissioner, we’re suggesting that he could start by looking at the firms who supplied unusable PPE during the pandemic still raking it in from big contracts with the NHS. As the Tories scrambled to restock depleted stores of protective masks, gloves and gowns during the pandemic, they spent billions on equipment that was defective or unsuitable for the NHS.
Why does the British Museum need to talk about slavery?

Nov 21, 2024 | goodlawproject.org | Alex Christian

Five million people saw the treasures of the British Museum last year, but they wouldn’t have found much about the British Empire’s trade in enslaved African people. We’re teaming up with The World Reimagined to launch a campaign to make sure our national museum tells our national story, with a permanent exhibit about the transatlantic slave trade.
Are off-the-record meetings softening Labour policy on water companies?

Nov 1, 2024 | goodlawproject.org | Max Colbert

When Steve Reed stood up in June, he declared it was “time for change” on the “Conservative sewage scandal”. But since the election, Labour policy on the water industry has gradually softened. And over the same period, Good Law Project can reveal that ministers have held a series of meetings with water bosses which have been kept off the record. Senior officials at the environment department met with water companies nine times between July and September. But no minutes were taken.
