The law on divorce and money was last changed in England and Wales more than fifty years ago (same rules also apply to civil partnerships). On Wednesday the Law Commission publishes a report on how well it is working with top lawyer Jo Edwards on @moneybox noon BBC Radio 4

After a busy Saturday, an adrenaline-fuelled day at the Manchester derby yesterday (& an epic win for the red side of town). Even with train meltdown & 2 hour delay out of Euston, worth it for the glory. (And if you look closely enough, Mr Rooney was in the next box from ours)๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

Good piece by Alistair Gray Financial Times re Law Commission report on financial remedies out today. I support principled discretion w/o straitjacketing. Generally the law works well - in court, in mediation & for people who sort out own arrs (per Fair Shares Project) ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป ft.com/content/542285โ€ฆ

Paul McCartney at the O2 tonight. Simply having a wonderful Christmastime. Beg, steal or borrow to get a ticket for the other show tomorrow night.

One more from Paul McCartney at the O2 tonight. Aged 82, 2.5 hour set without a break & still very much got it. What a showman.

Still pinching myself that I got to see Paul McCartney. Thousands of phone flashlights during Let It Be was a goosebump moment. The O2, 18 Dec

My & my colleaguesโ€™ critique in Financial Remedies Journal of House of Lords pre-nups debate recently - we conclude not pressing, diff to do discretely & better to look at things holistically (& NCDR NOT being hampered by current FR law, as mediators will testify to!) financialremediesjournal.com/content/pre-nuโ€ฆ
