Just imagine your own professional representative body having to publicly condemn you for not understanding the most basic principles on which your career has been based.
It’s akin to the BMA having to publicly remind a doctor: “It’s not ‘Do *Some* Harm’”.
The Bar Council said the attacks by Sunak and Braverman betrayed “a startling and regrettable ignorance” of the role of lawyers representing clients within the legal framework created by parliament. Reported by the @FT today -

Cabinet member @PamThomas01 gives her update - her last as a cabinet member and as a councillor.
@MayorLpool thanks Cllr Thomas for her 30 years of service and for always driving the council to do better on equality and accessibility.
Next, item 5 - the Citizen's Panel.
The Hillsborough families have suffered unimaginable heartache due to the profound failings of policing.
It’s only right those failings are openly acknowledged & policing publicly commits to taking every possible action to make sure no other families endure the same injustice🔽
.@angelaeagle and I joined officers & PCSOs from @MerPolWirral, who have been working 24/7 since the tragic murder of Elle Edwards, to speak to residents & businesses today & hear about the impact on the community, sharing info on #VictimCareMerseyside for those needing support.

But perhaps the most grievous inaccuracy - absolutely unforgivable, even in fiction - is the notion that Paddington would get a bail trial listed at the Crown Court in less than five years.
A big thanks to the officers who took me out tonight.
Professional & impressive police work with multiple arrests for drug driving and further offences.
Drug & drink driving destroys lives so I welcome the focus on proactive enforcement from officers & staff to prevent harm.
I’m out with @MerPolTraffic night shift seeing the work they’re doing to tackle dangerous drug and drink driving and responding to traffic incidents.

I joined @UKLabour#PCCs to urge Gov't to take bold action and fully fund policing.
Once again, the Chancellor has failed to listen❌
Ministers talk about levelling up, but their actions show little care for our hardest-pressed communities.⚖️
