Dominic Raab’s bill of rights bill is “a cure in search of a problem”, his predecessor has told me. In an interview for today’s Law Society Gazette, Sir Robert Buckland said that if he had still been lord chancellor he would not have proposed anything nearly as radical.

Buckland said he had also been “puzzled” by Raab’s decision to use the title of deputy prime minister in preference to the more important title of lord chancellor.

The MP for South Swindon said he had no plans to leave the Commons. But he hoped to join chambers in London and resume practice at the bar.

You can read my interview with Buckland in today’s Law Society Gazette.

The link to the Law Society Gazette in your email does not work, but the one from your website does.
