A relatively junior lawyer I believe who was a close friend of Sunak's and never conducted a case in anger. Thus the world turns.

With their different emphases I find Hermer Woolfson and Prentis’s interventions helpful BUT I strongly suspect that the “Badenoch” review already has her own and her supporters’ anti-ECHR positioning pencilled in.

As so often, many thanks Joshua. I look forward to finding Prentis's definition of 'rule of law'. Comments on AG, Lord Hermer: 'A few weeks ago [the attorney general]... has now agreed some of the references he made, likening the views of those he disagrees with to those of a Nazi lawyer, were “clumsy”. Unfortunately the row over this distracted us all from the central message of that speech...'.

Er yes, always think of what others (eg press or fellow commentators) will think and pick out of what you say or write.
