You've got until the morning to revel in your Gavin Williamson-related schadenfreude (Gavinfreude?), but then we need to turn our attention back to the far-right zealot in the Home Office I'm afraid

And, indeed, whatever came of those named day questions put in by Labour about ministerial use of private emails across Government. The replies are already overdue ...👀https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/labour-demands-answers-tory-ministers-28375025

The hearing will be live streamed - you *should* be able watch it here 📺 👉 https://www.judiciary.uk/the-court-of-appeal-civil-division-live-streaming-of-court-hearings/

(This is one of the (many!) cases I worked on as Legal Director at #GoodLawProject - it feels very strange not to be there today!

It's probably a relief for our lawyers not to have me frantically passing them notes every 5 minutes!

Good luck to them all - they're an incredible team 💪)

The key questions before the Court:

⭐️ is there a legal duty to create and maintain records so they are available for posterity (such that modern practices, including auto-delete, are unlawful)?

⭐️ to what extent are government policies enforceable as a matter of public law?

So #GoodLawProject are back in the Court of Appeal today, tackling the issue of ministers using private email & Whatsapp to conduct Government business

The fact they do so - routinely - is not in dispute

The question today is whether it is lawful for them to do so
