The judge who ruled asylum seekers can continue to be housed at an Essex hotel has been reported to the judiciary amid claims of 'apparent bias' over his links to left-wing organisations.
Lord Justice Bean delivered Friday's landmark Court of Appeal ruling, which meant an initial injunction preventing the Bell Hotel in Epping Forest from housing migrants was no longer valid.
Lord Justice Bean, sitting with two other judges, said the initial judge made 'a number of errors in principle'. It represented a victory for the Home Office, who can continue to use hotels to house asylum seekers, despite concerns from local councils and protests from communities.
But a leading barrister has referred the senior judge to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO), which deals with discipline, amid claims of potential conflicts of interest.
Lord Justice Bean was chairman of the socialist Fabian Society from 1989 to 1990 which works very closely with Labour.
He was succeeded by Labour grandees including the former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, Treasury minister Ed Balls, Children's minister Margaret Hodge, and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
He was one of the founding members of the Matrix Chambers, alongside Cherie Blair, wife of the former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, while Lord Hermer, the current Attorney General, joined later.

The most important thing I can tell you about writing or any other creative pursuit is this:
Give yourself permission to do it and don't worry about being "good" at it.
Life is short. Creativity is joyful. Just do it! Have fun. Muck about.
If you stick it out, you can get good at it over time, if that's important to you — but it doesn't have to be.
You can just play with creativity for the pure joy of it, too.
If it brings you joy, do it.

The sleaze crisis engulfing Angela Rayner is being fuelled by a Labour 'civil war' over who should succeed Keir Starmer, the Tories claimed yesterday.
Shadow Cabinet minister Alex Burghart has said that senior Labour figures are more interested in jockeying for position to take over from the Prime Minister than in dealing with the problems facing the country.
Mr Burghart said it is 'very likely' that damaging information about Ms Rayner's personal life and tax affairs is being leaked by Labour rivals who believe Sir Keir will be forced out over his dire poll ratings.
'This is the sort of infighting we are going to see a lot more of in public as Labour politicians fear the collapse of Keir Starmer's regime and start briefing against each other,' he told the Daily Mail.

ca 15 years ago i used some webpage that would take my email address and then send me updates whenever the urls i had specified would change. IIRC they made that service cost money a long time ago at which point i DIYed it in shell script
it was called ChangeDetection, so running my own email server, that's the email address i used there: from.changedetection@mydomain. i think they shut down shortly after trying to monetise, so i haven't had any emails coming in on that address in a LONG time
until…
guess what just happened? very sleazy looking US company "seamless.ai" just sent me a "Personal Data Privacy Notice" about "wanting to inform you of the collection, processing, and sharing of your personal data"… to the address i once gave that ChangeDetection service!
they are trying to do GDPR but are failing spectacularly by sourcing email addresses from gods-know-where. i guess the ChangeDetection people ultimately did find a way to monetise that site by selling their database to spammers
unfortunately they won't let me GDPR request a data removal without doxxing myself to them. no way i'm doing that. on the other hand the only data they have is an old, unused email address that i can just tag for perpetual greylisting
