My chambers have put my tips for pupillage into a single pdf available through this link ⬇️ My precious advocacy tips were similarly collated into a single pdf (available in the QT⬇️).

RT @jaimerh354: It is risible to suggest that the police should investigate on the basis that they could still issue a FPN even though they…

@ParrotLegal Right, sorry. Get it now.

@Willibee64 @Stephenmoogles So the answer is no and no.

@Girlwithvoiceuk @BarbaraRich_law Perhaps proving the necessity point….

@Girlwithvoiceuk @BarbaraRich_law Actually I am afraid that the LOTO is something more than the person hoping to win the next election. It has a greater constitutional role to play. And this was the single biggest political, governmental and constitutional event of our lifetime, Brexit.

@Girlwithvoiceuk @BarbaraRich_law with Allegra Stratton when she was preparing for her press conference on 22/12. Are we to go through each one of them and say “could you have worked from home that day”?

@BarbaraRich_law @Girlwithvoiceuk But the point is that someone else considered that they could effectively do it from their study at home. It’s the nuts and bolts of what is happening which is perhaps the most salient. As I said elsewhere, if this was just “the water in Majorca” stuff then not necessary.

@BarbaraRich_law @Girlwithvoiceuk And also, if I may, a lot of analysis about this seems to focus on this as if what was happening was he was having elocution lessons. The “voice coach” in question does far more than voice coaching. This was a coordinated bespoke response to a major policy announcement.

@BarbaraRich_law @Girlwithvoiceuk Another advocate in the case appeared by CVP. The court allowed it and they were able to address the court. In my view, however, it was not as effective as being in person. I do not for one moment consider that I broke the law.

@ParrotLegal How is that consistent?

*Starmer “not”.

@Girlwithvoiceuk I doubt that an evidential test would be met for prosecution.

Starmer and those working with him were there for work purposes. The “low bar” is vaulted by the judgement of those providing the services or the work. The law is consistent. And commentators on it should be similarly consistent. 10
