Do you know who else he would have defended if he had been asked to?
You lot.
Because that’s how it works. You don’t choose the cases, don’t choose the clients, don’t choose their crime or how bad they are. You don’t have to like or agree with them.
You just do the job.
Keir Starmer wants to talk about what he did before politics. He should tell the British people about the terrorist groups and hate preachers he defended.
Don't put Britain's national security in his hands. Don't let him surrender our borders.

Two pieces of legislation currently going through Parliament will make changes to sentencing practice in England and Wales.

The shortage in criminal barristers willing to work on Rasso cases will “accelerate exponentially over the coming years” if efforts are not made to pay them more, the CBA said in its “first ever, wide-ranging survey” of Criminal Bar Rasso barristers.
This comes as the number of backlogged crown court Rasso cases reaches a record-breaking high with 9,792 waiting versus the historic low of 3,005 on December 31 2018, the body representing practising Criminal Bar members in England and Wales said.
Our ability to deliver what government wants, what courts require and the public expects is currently unsustainable

In cases where the defendant is on bail, time from a rape charge to the trial’s conclusion has risen from around 10 months to 18 months over the past five years, the CBA said.
As a result, in those cases, an average of five-and-a-half years will pass between the alleged offence and the trial finishing, it added.
The report found that between January and September 2023, 976 Rasso trials were adjourned on the day they were due to start, and one in five of the postponements were because either no prosecution or defence were available.
The CBA said it has received reports of trial dates being set for the end of 2026 for rape charges made in 2022, and the time from rape charge to the trial’s conclusion has risen 80% over the past five years in cases where the defendant is on bail.
