Today, as part of their wider strike action, I met this group to discuss their concerns.
With a huge backlog in cases and a slump in prosecutions, the Tories have had 12 years overseeing a free-for-all for criminals. It is unprecedented to see barristers go on strike but that is what incompetent Tory Ministers have caused.
Their chaotic cuts have consequences but all the candidates vying to replace the lawbreaker Johnson have promised more cuts! Whilst the Tories have junked Johnson, we need to boot the whole lot out and get back to fixing and restoring our public services and justice system.
