“It cannot be supposed that the GLP now has carte blanche to bring any claim for judicial review no matter what the issues and no matter what the circumstances.

In other words, the Good Law Project is now the No Legal Standing Project. What a shame.

Out of interest, which regulatory body should be taking a look at this sort of thing?

Even David Allen green is pointing out that JM is in the wrong. Wonder how long till he gets blocked

And JM has the nerve to accuse GC women who are having to crowdfund of being on the grift

@DomesticatedZombie

holy fucking moly, nearly £3million income for y/e 2021!

I knew it was a lot, I'd no idea it's on that scale.

I always think of the Carousel lyric when I think of JM and the "Good' law project

Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothin' so bad for a woman
As a man who thinks he's good!

They're a private company. So ... I don't know?

Oh, here he goes. A thread on why he was right all along. Even when he wasn't.

Blames it all on the junior comms officer, while pretending not to.

'This is a fair point - and I apologise. I did not know of it when I tweeted. We are under-staffed at the moment at a senior level and a huge amount of the burden is falling on me: more than I can realistically be across.'

'We send stuff out across multiple channels - blogs, press releases, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Crowdjustice - and we should have message consistency and we didn't. Presently we have one (junior) comms officer and me. Responsibility for this is mine alone.'

Riiiight.

Oops 🤣

He's utterly shameless, isn't he?

Well. This ia all very eye-opening.

Oh how I adore the downfall of a sanctimonious prick prig...cannae come soon enough....

People are donating in good faith off the back of this 'win' as spun by GLP

Fools and their money are soon parted.

And JM has the nerve to accuse GC women who are having to crowdfund of being on the grift

From a certain type of person, accusations are admissions.

I wouldn’t imagine this abject failure will make JM reconsider anything. As donquixote outlines, it seems that failure is already baked in.

None.

The charity commission would probably have issues with the honesty of how the fundraise, which is why they aren't a charity.

They pay tax on the money they gain because it goes on salary and 'legal fees'.

They aren't selling a product so trading standards won't touch it.

They avoid paying for advertising media so the ASA can't do them for fibbing.

They won't be stupid enough to reach the threshold of obvious malfeasance needed for the legal profession to step in- hence the apology when caught in a lie.

The UK (rightly) doesn't give government bodies the power to shut down organisations just for being run by a dick. People are allowed to give away their money.

None of these people?

Currently advertising for a Financial Controller.

Any accountant willing to take one for the team, dye her hair blue call herself Carl, and become a mole?:

Moles are sort of browny coloured?

Where are the usual suspects who have a thing or two to say about money being donated to unsuccessful projects?

Anyone contributed to the fund to force the police to investigate "Partygate"? Well since the police already were investigating, your £100k will instead be going towards hounding the EHRC for their crime of asking the Scottish Government to "give more detailed consideration" to its plans before implementing them.

That is appalling.

'It’s only buried in the small print of their crowdfunding pages that the GLP admit donations may be funnelled elsewhere, though not with any specific details. If the money is going to be spent on virtually anything that takes Jolyon’s fancy, the GLP could quite easily just promote their general donation page with no reference to specific cases. They don’t do that, because they know it would be far less lucrative...'

I get the feeling GLP have managed to piss people off left, right and centre.

This is why I never contributed to anything GLP. You donate thinking you are doing one thing only for your donation to be diverted elsewhere and to something you might fundamentally disagree with.

The GLP should have engaged someone independent to JM to scrutinise where money is directed otherwise it may appear the GLP just funds JMs areas of interest

I'm still waiting for someone to say out loud why JM is so obsessed with this issue.

There have been so many hints and all these outlets must know, but nothing said outright.

Yes why are they so invested? Someone must know?
