Fascinating case and well written commentary.

Before Covid, the Crown Court backlog was 40,000 cases.

That figure was caused by the Tories cutting sitting days.

Unbelievably, we are now at an unprecedented 80,000 cases.

Now Labour are themselves cutting sitting days.

Uncaring vandalism. Labour first. Victims second.

@MAMBarLife @PriorKc As often( ok sometimes, maybe) I agree with Mary. Can you take the app off for a while? 🤞

[12CP Barristers @12CPBarristers]

@neill_bob Thank you for all you have done for the criminal bar.

[Rebecca Fairbairn @BarristerRF]

@SimonCohen85 Yes. A game changer

[Mary Aspinall-Miles @MAMBarLife]

Right. I don’t want to hear criminal practitioners talking about “Sunday homework club” anymore.
You are now working 6 day working weeks as standard, not a student with an essay crisis.
It’s unsustainable long term and undermining the gravity of the situation.
