Great morning.

As a TUC delegate, I’ve been on the picket line at Birmingham Crown Court, supporting members of the Criminal Bar Association who are striking for an increase in Legal Aid fees. Barristers who do Legal Aid work are as badly paid as NHS dentists.

In my 8 years as a GP, I’ve never seen so many patients accessing private health care as right now
