‘Kill the Bill’ is the rallying cry of a new movement resisting the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill. Gracie Bradley, interim director of Liberty, discusses this with Lucy Brisbane in the latest episode of the Justice Gap podcast.

The Justice Gap Podcast episode 12: ‘It is very rare for an inquest to deliver “justice”’

She specialises in live tweeting coronial inquests into the deaths of learning disabled and autistic people. ‘It is very rare for an inquest to deliver “justice”,’ George Julian tells the Justice Gap. ‘Of the

The Justice Gap Podcast episode 11: ‘This inquiry is pandering to the police’

It has taken ten years for Kate Wilson, the environmental campaigner deceived into a relationship with the undercover police officer Mark Kennedy, to have her day in court.

KateWilson talks to Jon Robins in this week’s Justice Gap podcast produced by Calum

The Justice Gap Podcast episode 10: ‘A life on hold’

Miscarriages of justice cases like that of Oliver Campbell are the reason why we have an independent miscarriage of justice watchdog.

Calum McCrae and Jon Robins report Oliver Campbell was convicted of murder in 1991

The dwindling number of prosecutions of rape has led Human rights lawyer Harriet Wistrich to believe we have ‘virtually decriminalised’.

In this week’s episode, the campaigning feminist lawyer tells Calum McCrae why

One early March morning almost four years ago, 15 protestors broke the perimeter fence and entered a remote part of Stansted airport where a Titan aircraft was set to deport migrants to Nigeria and Ghana. The group were trying ‘to prevent deportees being killed’ and spark a debate about the morality of the Home Office’s use of chartered flights. They would end up being charged under legislation intended for terrorists.
