@phatsilk_qc If, as reported, the defendant doesn't attend, I can't think of any reason the court can't issue a WWOB, can you? I've been puzzled by news articles saying the court can't do anything.

RT @alexwilcock: OTD 1868: William Gladstone becomes Prime Minister for the first time
And stays at the top even longer than Mull of Kintyre!

RT @GoddessSabrina2: The big difference between the @LibDems & the duopoly parties is that no one joins the LibDems expecting power or money. That's why you should vote for them. They're decent people who are entirely motivated by Social Liberalism & public service

If we want a return to free movement within Europe we need to vote for the @LibDems & hope for a coalition government?

Sometimes we really need to update the language that's still used in court.
"Silent by choice or not" is what they mean.
RT @t_seaward: Welcome to the crown court, where the judge is wondering whether a defendant is 'mute by visitation of God🙏 or mute by malice🗯️'.
"I've not encountered this procedure before," says prosecutor.

@juroberts_julia Case is point. Under PACE, I don't believe police could do that to someone they search on the street.

@juroberts_julia I wonder of the MoJ press office would confirm to you whether legal advice was taken.
Search is one thing. Revelation of all one's personal items to many other people present is another.

@juroberts_julia It is a more excessive requirement than is required to enter Parliament, the European Parliament or Kent County Council, three buildings with security concerns I am familiar with.
I suspect it might be illegal.

@juroberts_julia This sounds like a somewhat unreasonable interference with privacy.

@TimWardCam @tomorrowsmps I agree. I have been a candidate, voluntary party officer and voting party member and have never witnesses those sorts of issues even in strongly contested Lib Dem selections.

Every party leader in opposition for past 30 years has said they'll make an elected Lords happen.
But the only one who once in government made a serious effort for it was @nickclegg

@anthonyzach When I was elected as an MEP an elderly friend congratulated me, said they voted for me but was genuinely under the false impression that most of the parliament was unelected.

@CHoaglandLD @AngelaRayner Absolutely awful expression too. She should use something original and not from Trump.

Delighted to be elected to the Liberal Democrats new Federal Council.
I'm determined to support work that helps us win and fight for liberalism.
I'm also clear, if there's a hung parliament after next GE, electoral reform *must* be delivered if another party wants LD support.
