Nice post celebrating the 15th anniversary of the UKSC, although I'm not sure I've understood the reference to the court not always pleasing 'activist liberals' (am I an activist liberal if I think that, says, the Begum case was wrongly decided?)

Aaarrrgghh. I've wasted all morning puzzzling over RTI Ltd v MUr in the UKSC www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2... A case that makes *no sense* because of the way appeals from the decisions of arbitrators work. /1

On visibly uncontrolled asylum, such as small boats. Whatever pros/cons of Rwanda-type schemes in principle/practice, UKSC ruled such a scheme compatible with international obligations if third country has functioning asylum system which meets key standards(Rwanda didn't, but ECHR wasn't the block)
