Bank House Chambers is delighted to announce that the King has appointed Gurdial Singh to be a Circuit Judge.
Gurdial has contributed enormously to life in Chambers over many years working tirelessly serving both as Head of Chambers and as Pupil Supervisor.

The entire country at the thought of Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister again.

6 years ago #Braverman would have been regarded as an obnoxious weirdo on the fringes of the Conservative party. Now she’s not just main stream but Home Secretary. Another example of how the Conservatives have shifted away from the centre right to the hard right of U.K. politics

BREAKING: Liz Truss says she'll cut £11B from the civil service if elected Prime Minister. She'll cut civil servants' time off from 27 to 25 days, and scrap the role of diversity officers. £8.8B will be saved by cutting the pay of those living outside London and the South East.

The second lowest economic growth in the developed world.
Russia - lowest.
UK - 2nd lowest.
In the developed world.
Only sanctioned Russia doing worse.
Outstandingly shit performance from our dangerously useless “big calls right” brain-dead brexity govt.

Today we have received a kind offer from the Legal Aid Agency to offer our HCAs to cover cases where counsel is not available due to the 'no returns' offer. We will be politely declining @TheCriminalBar and hope other firms will do so too. #noreturns

Sleaford in Lincolnshire is a small British town, unremarkable + with a population of about 18k
Let’s put the govt failure COVID death rate into perspective using Sleaford
At the current rate ‘a Sleaford’ will be wiped out every 12 days. Everyone dead
Think on that
Just think

Extremely distasteful for @pritipatel to say our asylum system is “exploited by leftie lawyers." Caricaturing an entire profession, which is subject to a code of conduct and upholds the rule of law, is dangerous and unbecoming of a serious Home Secretary. bit.ly/33U3U6f

How many of the 11,000 awaiting trial in jail are held under “exceptional” measures past 182 day limit, locked up for 23 days with prospect of trial delayed till *next* Dec? As @NickCohen4 writes, this scandal, is of a piece with this cowardly Govt theguardian.com/commentisfre…

My excellent mate Gordon, who lost his wonderful wife Jane to cancer last year, is currently walking *across England* to raise funds in her memory.
If you're able to spare a couple of quid to support him it would be really appreciated. Thank you so much.

Overwhelming support?
Justice Secretary @RobertBuckland on @BBCr4today said there was “overwhelming support” from the legal professions for extended court opening hours.
Every survey I’ve seen is virtually 100% against.
Lawyers of Twiter: are YOU giving this your “overwhelming support”?

In the short term, if you volunteer for Sat duties you are taking work from colleagues with caring responsibilities.
In the medium/long term, you are telling @HMCTSgovuk there is nothing we wont accept. You are undermining the mutual trust we are all building.
Hold strong.
