The justice secretary has completely rejected the advice of the government’s own independent review of the crisis in the #CriminalJustice system by imposing a real-terms cut on legal aid rates for solicitors

Today, criminal barristers begin indefinite strike action, in response to years of government cuts to legal aid and defunding of the criminal justice system. Here is a post I wrote giving the truth behind the government spin: thesecretbarrister.com/2022/…

This is why we are striking. These are the prosecutors, defenders and judges of tomorrow, being paid less than minimum wage. We lost 40% of them in a single year. And @DominicRaab won’t even consider getting off his deckchair to do anything about it.
Today I prosecuted an application to dismiss, covering someone else’s case. That is an application made on behalf a defendant, where the defence say there is not sufficient evidence for a jury to convict. /1

⁦@JoshuaRozenberg⁩ is spot on 1/4- this isn’t like last week’s strikes on the railways,when the government could justify its non-intervention in a dispute to which it wasn’t a party.This is a dispute between the state & a tiny number of individuals rozenberg.substack.com/p/cri…
