Lord Sumption on Liz Truss. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/1…
The government press release last May announcing the outcome of the #legalaid means review made it clear how *vital* this change was to be. The delay to 2026 is unacceptable A few examples of what delay means in reality for people I work with gov.uk/government/new…

JUDGE: well where is he? COUNSEL: his train broke down near Wigan. He got off it and he is available to attend remotely via his telephone and wishes to attend JUDGE: very well turn the link on LIAM: ALRIGHT JUDGE ME OLE BEAN JUDGE: turn the link off
In Dec 2020, I tweeted a thread on the speech in which Liz Truss sent up her anti-Equality Act balloon. It was a mad & misguided speech which included her bemoaning being taught about racism & sexism at school rather than reading & writing. Here's the link:x.com/jasonbraier/st…

Everybody is once again dunking on Liz Truss, but I think it important to point out that lawyers knew how useless she was years ago. A little credit would be nice. thesecretbarrister.com/2016/11/04/liz…
🧵In today's Times, Libby Purves pens an article that will be like a red rag to a bull to many employment lawyers. First, an incendiary headline and subheading (which I accept may have been written by the editorial team rather than her). #ukemplaw
This is disastrous, hideous news. NHS England are hacking back the mental health support for hospital staff. One doctor takes their life every three weeks. One nurse takes their life every single week. These numbers will now INCREASE. @VictoriaAtkins - please do the right thing.

Questioning in sex cases is in the news due to Ellie Wilson, who has waived her right to anonymity about her case. Immediate transcription in criminal cases must be a priority for the benefit of all parties, and justice, as I wrote here a while back: counselofperfection.blogspot.com/2018/10/word-f…

Incredibly impressive challenge from trial complainant @ellieokwilson after treatment ill-befitting a defence advocate from a member of the profession in Scotland. To be strong enough to go to the regulator after being subjected to that is brave. She was plainly right to do so.

This is an astonishing waste of time and resources when the daily operation of the criminal justice system is in chaos. Assaulting shop workers is already an offence. It is already punishable by up to 6 months’ imprisonment. Indulgent, posturing nonsense.

I know we don’t really do long twitter threads anymore - but I loved them. So, here’s a story about how I ludicrously spent much of my weekend. It involves the perils of quick, rapid technology. And, more importantly, it involves donuts 🍩
Recently, I undertook a mini-pupillage to examine the logistical challenges I will encounter during my pupillage. Whilst the court staff were lovely and supportive, the accessibility within the courtroom was appalling for wheelchair users. (Part 1)

It’s 3.15 AM and I’ve been locked in a flat by Bad Men demanding £6,500 in ransom
You've been kidnapped. Your kidnappers allow you to keep tweeting to pretend everything is alright. What would you tweet that would alarm your followers without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help? "And then I put in the exact amount of garlic the recipe called for."
I was on @thebarcouncil when Liz Truss LC failed to support the judges. Robert Buckland attended the meeting as attorney or solicitor general and tried to justify her stance. We indicated if she didn’t support the judges we would pass a motion of no confidence. She then spoke up.

Lord Sumption on Liz Truss. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/1…
Telling the judge why you need just 5 minutes more with your client before you can start the hearing
“They talked about ferrets so much that I was not even able to speak” Another Truss classic.
JUDGE: well where is he? COUNSEL: his train broke down near Wigan. He got off it and he is available to attend remotely via his telephone and wishes to attend JUDGE: very well turn the link on LIAM: ALRIGHT JUDGE ME OLE BEAN JUDGE: turn the link off
@BarristerSecret But we all know that lawyers (spits to clear mouth) are a major limb of the DEEP STATE. (Lies down in a darkened room).
@BarristerSecret You'll get the credit at legal aid rates, unfortunately
@BarristerSecret As did probation staff. The most vacuous Justice Secretary I've ever met. Absolutely was not on top of her brief.
🧵In today's Times, Libby Purves pens an article that will be like a red rag to a bull to many employment lawyers. First, an incendiary headline and subheading (which I accept may have been written by the editorial team rather than her). #ukemplaw

Incredibly impressive challenge from trial complainant @ellieokwilson after treatment ill-befitting a defence advocate from a member of the profession in Scotland. To be strong enough to go to the regulator after being subjected to that is brave. She was plainly right to do so.
Lawyer ‘repeatedly crossed line’ in rape trial - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
I have never been more certain about this.
We need a referendum on leaving the ECHR.
@BarristerSecret "I am once again asking the government to provide sufficient resources for existing laws to be enforced"
@RBarrettTaylor @drkatedevlin Agreed. @BarristerSecret in their books has highlighted loss of admin / back office staff. Meaning case files are often badly prepared, evidence missing etc. So if cases get to court, they often fall apart. Seems one better place to spend the money. Less snazzy tho'
@BarristerSecret On the agenda for next week… being a rabbit-at-law to be made a specific criminal offence.
Hope @BarristerSecret isn’t watching Professor T tonight. Not only has an attempted murder Crown Court trial started within a few weeks of his arrest and prosecution counsel gone wandering round the court, the judge has just banged a gavel…
@BarristerSecret It’s bloody annoying that there’s no laws about Treasin or The Magnus Carter tho. I thought we were getting Sovrinty back ? #gavelinjustices
