NonCensored is a weekly round up of Harriet Langley-Swindon QC's very popular, very real daily radio show, completely non-Censored (but with all of the rubbish edited out). This week Harriet and Producer Martin have one of the first broadcast interviews with Prime Minister Liz Truss, who explains why she's not just giving out jobs to her friends and is absolutely clear about delivery. They're also joined by Diversity Correspondent Eshaan Akbar, whose Hot & Spicy Takeaway of the Week is that the enforced diversity in the cabinet is keeping out talented backbenchers like Christopher Chope, who has been an MP for thirty-five years without ever becoming a Cabinet minister - so if he's NOT being discriminated against, he must be an absolute idiot! There's also an extended interview with legal expert David Allen Green about the human rights act, why Suella Braverman is the best lawyer in the country, and how we can bring back hanging. A few tickets to our live show at the London Podcast Festival are still available - that's on Saturday 10th September, at 2pm, at King's Place.

Today I am joined by lawyer and commentator David Allen Green to discuss the governments problematic Bill of Rights Bill, which is intended to replace the Human Rights Act

From ethics to Northern Ireland to the ECHR to a mysterious disappearing story about his wife's job prospects, Johnson is mired in legal and culture war battles. But why doesn't anything stick to the PM? Plus, rail strikes: this is the age of the strain. And as Internet Explorer bows out, what are our fondest memories of the early Internet? Law and policy commentator David Allen Green is this week's guest. “I don't think law is a particularly lefty profession, but the work lawyers do is being politicised.” - David Allen Green “The only reason the Government tried to force this through was performative cruelty.” - David Allen Green “If you're younger than 50, there isn't that reference point that Labour equals strikes.” - Justin Quirk “I've decided to start calling this the Procrastination Madness Government.” - Marie Le Conte “The Government wants to create division and it wants the strikes to go ahead.” - David Allen Green “I remember the internet being a tool for checking false claims. That hasn't quite worked out…” – David Allen Green https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast Presented by Alex Andreou with Justin Quirk and Marie Le Conte. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison.

UK legal commentator David Allen Green discusses the constitutional significance of the Good Friday Agreement, and the implications of Article 16 of the Northern Ireland protocol. Gemma McLoughlin Burke from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties advocates the abolition of the Special Criminal Court. We discuss the centenary of the first women to qualify as barristers. And recent case law on: proving copy wills; whether a golfer could sue his club after his subscription had lapsed; and whether asylum seekers are entitled to hold Irish driving licences. Law on Trial is presented by Peter Leonard BL, Mark Tottenham BL, editor of Decisis.ie, and Catherine Sanz, legal correspondent of the Business Post.         

MPs want the Online Harms Bill to be tightened to take in “hateful speech” – yet the murder of David Amess appears to have had nothing to do with social media. Are they trying to insulate themselves from criticism. Special guest, news and policy blogger David Allen Green, joins us to look at the fallout from David Amess's killing, plus the confirmation that, yes, the UK government signed the Withdrawal Agreement always intending to break it.  “Just because extremists are on social media, it doesn't mean that social media is the reason they're extremists” - Alex Andreou “It's strange that MPs are demanding the end of anonymity online when they're so deft at using ‘off the record' to get messages into the media.” – David Allen Green  “It's always fun to see the ones who brought you ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE bringing up Angela Rayner's ‘scum' comments.” – Dorian Lynskey “This is a betrayal of the central argument that got the Government elected – and everyone just shrugs?” – Alex Andreou “Think how different things would be if we'd had the wit to call the EU the Winston Churchill Memorial Organisation…” – David Allen Green www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Ros Taylor and Alex Andreou.

A bonus Daily… The Met Police was “institutionally corrupt” and failed the family of Daniel Morgan, the private investigator killed with an axe outside a South London pub in 1987, an independent panel found today. In a follow-up to our podcast on the case from May, David Allen Green talks Alex Andreou through what the report means for the police force, Morgan's family, and Priti Patel's autocratic policies. • “The Met did everything it could to make this report as slow and as painful as possible for the panel.” • “The report mentions the word 'corruption' over 700 times. It cannot be argued that this was one or two bad police officers.”Presented by Alex Andreou. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Robin Leeburn. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters Production See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Daniel Morgan's murder in 1987 exposed a toxic nexus between the police, private investigators, and top politicians. And over thirty years later, Priti Patel is putting her foot down on the release of the public report. Friend of the podcast and Financial Times columnist David Allen Green joins Alex Andreou to join the dots between cabinet and cop corruption, and why the Home Office's excuses nothing but “codswallop”…"The police, private investigators, and government have all worked together since 1987." "Each of the parties involved had an ultimate weapon.""The Home Office had three motivations - delay, forewarn, retract.""The report could reveal that this goes far into the Met, and very far into Fleet Street and private industry.""This is the Home Secretary trying to bully an independent panel.""This is just government intolerance of anyone outside of the central government having power.""Conspiracies are used to cover cock-ups…the Home Office just did not like the idea of learning about this at the same time as everyone else."Presented by Alex Andreou. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.

There is a bill going through the United Kingdom Parliament which will make it harder to prosecute soldiers for war crimes. Is it justified? How will it impact on human rights? And why now? I am joined by Sonya Sceats, Chief Executive of Freedom From Torture and David Allen Green, solicitor and legal commentator for a fascinating discussion. Show notes are at www.betterhumanpodcast.com

The government has admitted that a new Brexit bill will break international law. Its chief lawyer has resigned. Why does this matter and what, exactly, is the rule of law? I am joined by David Allen Green, lawyer and writer. You can see show notes at www.betterhumanpodcast.com

As the Government tears up its own promises on Northern Ireland with its Internal Markets Bill, the don of legal experts David Allen Green explains the enormity of this breach of international law, why the Government has provoked constitutional crisis on not one but four fronts… and how it could play out. Spoiler: “This will not end well.”Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producer Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.

I am delighted to be joined again by lawyer and writer David Allen Green to discuss six months of lockdown laws, passed with almost no parliamentary scrutiny and imposing the most stringent restrictions on human rights since the Second World War. Can these be justified by even the most extreme public health crisis in decades? And if not, what is the alternative? You can read show notes at www.betterhumanpodcast.com. Nothing in this podcast is intended to suggest that people should not follow government coronavirus guidance or the legal regulations.

Can people who don’t live with each other have sex? What is “overnight”? And many other questions. I am joined again by David Allen Green as we take a detailed look at the newly updated lockdown regulations. As always, please make sure to follow the government’s guidance. You can find the two previous episodes with David here (Part 1 https://anchor.fm/better-human/episodes/18---The-Covid-19-lockdown-and-the-law-Part-1-ec8otc) and here (Part 2 https://anchor.fm/better-human/episodes/25---The-Covid-19-lockdown-and-the-law-Part-3-ee2oeo)

The Government's emergency measures to keep public places empty are proving to be a rat's nest. Even senior police officers and prosecutors don't fully understand the law. Prosecutions are falling apart. And civil liberties groups are calling for a review of all penalties. Constitutional expert and Remainiacs regular DAVID ALLEN GREEN talks to Ayesha Hazarika about bad law made in haste, and what we can look forward to in the inevitable Public Inquiry.“We've enforced public health legislation as if it were public order emergency.”“The regulations that created perhaps the widest-ranging prohibitions in peacetime never had a parliamentary vote.” “It may well be that the litigation will go on longer than the virus did.”“We're supposed to nod along in a public health emergency… but how much are we nodding along?”Presented by Ayesha Hazarika.

I am delighted to be joined again by lawyer and legal commentator David Allen Green to discuss the latest lockdown legal developments and what a public inquiry into the Covid-19 outbreak might look like. We had a spirited and sometimes critical conversation about the law but nothing is intended to suggest people shouldn’t follow government guidance. Follow the government guidance! Further resources at www.betterhumanpodcast.com

From the enforced lockdown to the exit strategy, what powers does the Government need to deal with COVID-19 – and how should it use them? The lockdown decision introduced some of the most stringent restrictions on ordinary life since World War II, and public and police have struggled to understand where Government guidance on the lockdown differs from the law. How might restrictions change? What level of parliamentary scrutiny will be required? And how can the Government ensure that its response to the pandemic is within the law?Dr Catherine Haddon, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government, is joined by:David Allen Green, lawyer and journalist Tom Hickman QC, Reader in Public Law at UCL and Barrister at Blackstone ChambersRaphael Hogarth, Associate at the Institute for GovernmentAudio production by Alex Rees See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The response to Covid-19 is the key human rights issue in the world at the moment as states move to enforce ‘lockdowns’ of billions of people. In the UK the government has issued guidance on social distancing and emergency regulations which give the police extensive new powers over people's everyday lives. This podcast is a discussion of those laws. I am joined by David Allen Green, lawyer and legal commentator, to take a ‘deep dive’ into the new regulations. We recorded this episode at 9am on Tuesday 31 March so apologies if it has already been overtaken by events when you listen to this. Remember, everyone should follow the government’s guidance to save lives and protect the NHS. If you have any concerns about your own actions, there is a useful Frequently Asked Questions guidance on the gov.uk website.

This week on the podcast that takes you inside the way that government works and sometimes doesn’t..The IfG team are joined by David Allen Green to discuss whether the general election will resolve all the constitutional chaos of the last few years? And just how difficult would it be told a second referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU?A new prime minister might be tempted to redesign Whitehall and announce plans for some brand new government departments. But is that a sensible thing to do? A new IfG report has the answers. And we speak to former cabinet secretary Gus O’Donnell about the challenges of forming coalition governments and the for politicians to respect the rules and tell the truth. Plus: Why is 120 the number of the week? Who knows more about the shortest-serving prime minister in British history?

What are the constitutional implications of this landmark decision? What is the Commons planning to do now? And has our political rhetoric become too toxic?

Incredible scenes on a monumental day, as guests Schona Jolly QC and David Allen Green hotfoot it across London to join Naomi Smith in Remainiacs HQ.Just how damning was the Supreme Court judgment on Johnson’s illegal prorogation? How on earth can the Government brief against the most significant constitutional judgment in – possibly – centuries? Where do we go from here? Should we all go out and get drunk? And who would pick fight with Lady Hale, with her laser eye and her spider brooch? “The Government can study this as long as they want. There’s no route for them to appeal it.” Presented by Naomi Smith, recorded by Elsie Bath at Soho Radio. Remainiacs is a Podmasters Production.

If Remainer Conservatives and Lib Dems can’t swallow their notion of Jeremy Corbyn, Interim Prime Minister, who CAN they agree on? Exactly how would we get to our Government of National Unity anyway? How long would it last? Why there is no Season Finale Reset Button for Article 50. What would the Remain Dominic Cummings do?

David Allen Green is a lawyer and legal commentator. He is a contributing editor at the Financial Times and a former legal correspondent for the New Statesman. He led the defence at the Twitter Joke Trial in 2012 and is now known for his commentary on the legal complexities surrounding Brexit. This interview explores why he became a lawyer instead of a historian, the responsibility that comes with a massive Twitter following and how he tries not to upset religious friends.

RUSH RELEASE FOR RELEVANCE: The day after the May Deal finally fell to a record defeat (with an even worse vote than her projected result if she hadn’t bottled it in December) Ian Dunt, Naomi Smith and Dorian Lynskey convene to ask what the hell is going on and how will it all end.As the Deal lies in tatters, special guest DAVID ALLEN GREEN – lawyer, writer, commentator and warrior monk of the British constitution – joins us to ask tough questions of the People’s Vote and explain just how far back the Brexiters’ strategic awfulness goes. Hands up, who had “the 1680s” in the sweepstake?PLUS: Which of our panel would have voted for the May Deal if they were an MP? Will Plan B just be Plan A in a fake moustache and glasses? Will anything ever penetrate Jeremy Corbyn’s Reality Protection Field? And it’s Ian’s sweariest episode yet. We’re sorry.

You can listen to this week's show right here.This week's show is about the Tory plan to abolish the Human Rights Act and to put England and Wales (though not Scotland or NI, of course) outside of the direct constraints of International Human Rights law.It's a good job that Ben is still barely croaking otherwise this would no doubt have been an angry rant full of vitriol about our Home Secretary and Lord Chancellor.  Surely Kirstin will be far more calm about it...Of course, you might want to balance the Tory slandering of the Act and the ECHR against a few examples of what the law has meant for us.For a great collection of what to read about this to know more on both sides of the argument, please see the excellent compendium put together by David Allen Green.Not only that but it has been a little while since we heard what's going on in the world of immigration law.  There has been a report about the Home Office and its ability to do its job.  Spoilers, government subcontractors are not exactly thrilling us with their efficiency.  Jonathan Holt explains all.  Visit Bail For Immigration Detainees and read all about it.Next week should be a little more chatty assuming none of contract any other horrible illnesses.  PLEASE RATE/REVIEW US: wherever you subscribe, please take two seconds as we start this series, to give us some stars and a few kind words.  We'd be e'er so obliged.  It helps us get up the search rankings, ya see.  If you use iTunes, please click here and it'll take just seconds!
