He *wasn't protected* 15 minutes ago. If you followed him before that, you're one of the 112K people on his Approved list and you can see his statuses even though he's Protected. But new followers can't until he approves them, and nonfollowers can't see them at all.

How annoying. He's not posted an explanation either.

It's annoying to link to but been following him for years so I don't notice as much: he's one of the UKs top legal tweeters/bloggers, and is covering Brexit closely, something he's cautiously in favour of in principle. You won't be surprised to know an impartial coverage of the legal aspects winds up hardcore brexit types enough to attack him a LOT.
