It seems the UK’s Conservative Party are bound to lose the General Election, regardless of when in the year they call it. Damage limitation is now the name of the game. But, the question remains: who stands to benefit? Will Kingston-Cox argues that despite the Conservative Party's decline, it's misguided to assume all right-leaning voters will flock to Labour under Keir Starmer, as he lacks Tony Blair's broad appeal. Instead, figures like Dominic Cummings, with his new "Start-Up Party," and others like Matt Goodwin, seek to fill the ideological gap with new right-wing alternatives. These developments suggest a fragmented British Right, potentially diluting Conservative support further and inadvertently bolstering Labour, despite Labour not being a direct beneficiary of right-wing voter realignment. #conservatives #reformuk #nigelfarage #mattgoodwin #dominiccummings #unitedkingdom https://lnkd.in/ejREgZKG

CHARITY PARTNER UPDATE: Destiny Rescue 68 Rescued from Human Traffickers at the Nepal Border Border agents stopped traffickers from luring 68 people out of Nepal. Nearly three-quarters of the victims met their traffickers online, mostly on Facebook. The criminals built relationships with their targets and then, after figuring out their needs, offered them romantic relationships, false jobs or even trips to see relatives who lived across the border. Thanks to our border agents, these people will never see what REALLY awaited them on the other side. #trafficking #rescue #freedom #endchildtrafficking #endhumantrafficking #onechildistoomany #rescueupdate #news #businessforpurpose #financingadifference #charitableimpact #purposedrivenbusiness #propurpose #mortgagebrokersydney #endslavery #endhumantrafficking #destinyrescue

Police Stations and interviews can feel like a very hostile environment for an individual. They might have never been inside a police station before, having never been arrested or held in custody. Perhaps they don’t feel able to answer questions, but do have a defence or partial defence they want to place on record. Prepared statements can be prepared prior to attending the police station. In some circumstances, they can be drawn up in our offices rather than in the high-pressured environment of the police station. If you would like expert legal advice to explore options available to you during a police interview, then please contact our team via our website or by calling us on 0207 936 6329. #Solicitors #PoliceStation #Statement #CriminalDefence

Sir Bill Wiggin The Conservative Party MP for North Herefordshire tabled written questions in relation to enforcement and the fee review which have now received response. "Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014 To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if his Department will make an assessment with the Enforcement Conduct Board of the potential merits of introducing regulatory changes relating to the Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014 separately to implementing the uplift to the fees recoverable for (a) High Court and (b) non-High Court enforcement." "On 17 July 2023, following a review of the fees that enforcement agents and High Court Enforcement Officers can recover when using the taking control of goods procedure, we announced that we intended to amend the Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014 to uplift such fees by 5%. We also announced that we would consult on reforms that aimed to encourage earlier and cheaper settlement of debt. We said that we would implement any reforms and the fee uplifts at the same time, in order to balance the need to ensure that there is a sustainable enforcement industry with making sure that those facing enforcement action are treated fairly. That consultation closed on 6 December 2023. We received detailed feedback from a wide range of stakeholders and the Enforcement Conduct Board have been consulted. A response to the consultation will be published and a timetable for implementation will be announced in due course." Given Rishi Sunak's announcement regarding the #GeneralElection on the 4th July it is now highly unlikely that the proposed fee increase will be given Parliamentary approval this side of the #Election. #enforcement #industry #fee #review #general #election

🤔 Don't assume a phone call is authentic just because they know your name. #CourierFraud often targets vulnerable and elderly people via calls to their landline or mobile telephones from withheld numbers from someone purporting to be a police officer or figure of authority. The criminal then proceeds to inform the victim of fraudulent activity on their bank account and sometimes claims that their bank staff are involved to deter them from contacting the bank another way. The criminal then often directs the victim to attend their local bank to withdraw a large amount of cash and to return home where it will be collected by a police courier for examination – who is actually a criminal associate. Alternatively, the criminal asks the victim to handover their bank card and personal information to that same courier. Work at the #NEROCU continues to pursue fraudsters and bring them to justice, but officers are also determined to make sure the public feel confident and capable of challenging scammers to help catch them in the act and report them in real time. We want to empower victims and raise awareness of the complex scams being used to dupe people out of their hard earned cash. No reputable organisation will mind if you take your time, challenge them, or ask for proof and hang up. If in doubt, speak to someone you trust, drop into your local bank or call the number given on your official bank statement. If you’re sent a link by text or email don’t click it, report it. 📲 For help and advice visit the #ActionFraud website. If you need to report a crime or suspicious activity please speak to your local police force.

Martyn's Law aims to enhance the safety and security of public venues across the UK by requiring those in charge of certain locations to assess the threat of terrorism and implement suitable and proportionate protective measures. This legislation seeks to protect the British public by ensuring venues are better prepared to prevent and respond to potential terrorist incidents.   Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gHReXqAD   This article relates to recent legal developments in the United Kingdom, and was authored by Sarah Valentine and Claire Watson.   #ProtectDuty #MartynsLaw

📜 Under section 1 of the Prevention of Crime Act 1953, carrying an offensive weapon in public without lawful authority or reasonable excuse is a criminal offence. The burden of proof lies with the person carrying it. Simply forgetting about the weapon isn’t a valid defence. Offensive weapons include those made, adapted, or intended for use to cause injury, such as truncheons, broken bottles, and bicycle chains. Certain items, like police batons, are lawful only in specific circumstances. #uklaw #offensiveweapons

Former home minister and Congress MP P. Chidambaram has sharply criticised the National Medical Commission's (NMC) re-revision of the undergraduate forensic medicine curriculum, calling it 'unbelievably retrograde.' The revised curriculum controversially categorises sodomy and lesbianism as ‘unnatural sex offences’ and omits distinctions between consensual and non-consensual queer relationships, rolling back earlier changes mandated by the Madras High Court in 2022. It also omits what used to be a seven-hour course on disability. Medical professionals and LGBTQ+ advocates fear this revision could undo recent progress in inclusivity. The NMC defended its changes, citing the need to adapt to India’s evolving demographics and socio-economic contexts. https://lnkd.in/ejRPdQTw Graphic: Faizan Khurshid/NH #MedicalEducation #LGBTQRights #PChidambaram #ForensicCurriculum #NMCReforms #Congress #NationalMedicalCommission

Foreign interference Justice Minister Hon Paul Goldsmith has introduced legislation criminalising foreign interference and strengthening the laws relating to espionage. Minister Goldsmith said “…the reality is that some foreign states are engaging in activities that are deceptive, corruptive, or coercive. These activities are intended to inappropriately manipulate our society or place undue pressure on individuals and our communities.” “These changes are part of ongoing work across government to protect New Zealand and our communities from foreign interference. They also provide a clear message on how seriously we take this issue,” Mr Goldsmith says. The Crimes (Countering Foreign Interference) Amendment Bill will: - Create new offences to specifically criminalise foreign interference, - Update existing offences related to espionage and the wrongful communication of government information for conduct that is likely to prejudice New Zealand’s security or defence. Contact Ross Browne or Tim Hurdle for more information on national security opportunities in New Zealand.

A Cognisable Offence is one in which a police officer has the authority to make an arrest without a warrant and initiate an investigation with or without court permission. This type of offence is considered serious, as it allows the police to act immediately to prevent further harm or escalation, ensuring swift action in maintaining law and order. Adv.

General Election: What Now for Martyn’s Law? The surprise news of a general election on 4 July 2024 has left many pondering what that will mean for a number of bills including the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Bill, better known as Martyn’s Law. The bill proposes to introduce a duty for qualifying publicly accessible premises with a capacity exceeding 100 and public events with a capacity of greater than 800 persons to ensure that venues must prepare for and be equipped to deal with potential acts of terrorism. Well, Figen Murray’s tenacious campaigning and gruelling 200 mile walk to Downing Street appears to have paid off. Martyn’s Law has survived the cull of bills dropped due to the lack of Parliamentary time before the recess on 30 May 2024. The Prime Minister has personally reiterated his commitment to Martyn’s Law when speaking with Figen Murray O.B.E. on 22 May 2024 and indicated that he will use his best endeavours to place the Bill before Parliament prior to its recess on 30 May 2024. Notably Sir Keir Starmer, also chose the seventh anniversary of the Manchester Arena attack to reiterate the Labour Party’s commitment to Martyn’s Law. With very little Parliamentary time remaining prior to the general election and the outcome of the recent consultation yet to be published we all sense that Martyn’s Law will not become law in this Parliament. Nevertheless, we have the strongest indication yet that Figen’s campaign will be successful in introducing the bill into law as soon as soon as Parliamentary opportunity allows. https://lnkd.in/ePHthPyi
