@nashoban_info @GoldsmithCrime @thebarcouncil @YoungBarristers No they don’t have barristers in the same way as we do - all lawyers are have rights of audience, so there isn’t the distinction between solicitors/barristers. More info at the Nederlandse Orde Van Advocaten https://t.co/clr5rQGCMw

[Marie de Redman @MariedeRedman]

Does £10.30 an hour on a murder case seem reasonable to you @MoJGovUK @DominicRaab @Dines4Dales? Or does that sound "irresponsible"?That is what I will be paid for defending a vulnerable teenager charged with the most serious of criminal offences. (Thread 1/4)

[Victims’ Commissioner for London @LDNVictimsComm]

The only ones responsible for holding ‘justice to ransom’ are those who have failed to fund a functioning justice system. Yes, it is bringing ‘heartbreak to victims’ but this falls on @DominicRaab & Government, not @TheCriminalBar. Time for honesty and action. #enoughisenough

[Victims’ Commissioner for London @LDNVictimsComm]

From 5 September, justice will grind to a complete standstill due to all out strike action from @TheCriminalBar . @DominicRaab has refused to meet with CBA and stop this escalating justice crisis. His inaction is causing serious harm to all victims of crime in this country.

[The CBA @TheCriminalBar]

Our members have made the difficult decision to adopt the current action on an indefinite basis from 05 September.

This is about more than just money.

This is about safeguarding the future viability and fitness of the CJS for all who become involved in it.

[The CBA @TheCriminalBar]
