I am so proud of all my colleagues from all backgrounds, all countries and all faiths who work day in day out to run our NHS.
We stand united against Fascism!

Today I was refused entrance to Stratford Mags unless I agreed to a ‘pat down’ search. I explained I was happy for my bag, pockets, coat etc to be searched, but I did not understand why a pat down is necessary - I did not want to be patted down because of my last experience (1/?)

'Rishi Sunak isn't even British!'
Sangita Myska eviscerates this racist caller who says Tory party member won't vote for Sunak because 'he doesn't represent Britain'.
@SangitaMyska
One of the youngest MPs in Parliament. Young, eloquent and honest! #herehere
OUTSTANDING SPEECH
Mhairi Black delivered the most honest critique about this Tory government, in the last 12 years
She covers everything.
It will leave you speechless
This will definitely go down in history.

A 3-hour drive for an in person hearing. Arrive to be told Defendant has covid and can’t be produced. Adjourned to another day. 3-hour drive back. £91 fee. After chambers, fuel and tax about £30 take home. Unsustainable. @TheCriminalBar @TheYoungCBA

“This reflects a recognition amongst criminal barristers at all levels of call and across all Circuits that what is at stake is the survival of a profession of specialist criminal advocates and of the criminal justice system which depends so critically upon their labour,”
Barristers are to walk out from next Monday in a strike over pay that could bring the courts to a halt. telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/06…

Your regular reminder
ALT What have trade unions ever done for me Two day weekends Eight hour working days Paid maternity leave Retirement ages Occupational health and safety Work place pensions Paid holiday Equality laws The right not to be sacked if you have a baby or become I’ll Pay increases The minimum wage A standard of living above that of 1860’s Britain
I support my colleagues @TheCriminalBar it’s not just about hearing fees, it’s the fact they often don’t get paid for work done at all. Anyone who knows a #barrister will know the amount that goes into preparation. It’s everything about what we do & to not get paid is #criminal

Many like me have already left because the situation was and is so bad that we couldn’t survive! It was and still is impossible to live on the rates for criminal work! #legalaid #criminalbar #strike
