The SSBA are fully behind our colleagues in England and Wales taking part in today's #barristerstrike . How long before an independent criminal bar disappears on both sides of the border through lack of government action? #GownsDown #DefendLegalAid
The Barristers are on Strike?!
Where am I going to my coffee from? ☕

✊do not be taken in when the government or its various mouthpieces say otherwise - this is the reality of life at the Bar.

Something I never thought I'd see: Barristers picketing (Leeds Combined Court) today due to the terrible state this government has created. #barristerstrike
Barristers working for legal aid are the last line of defence for those targeted by a State that is often racist and increasingly authoritarian. Without them, who will stand in the way when the State comes after black people or protestors?
That's why I support #Action4Justice
I'm on duty as a duty solicitor covering #carnival2022 , as my day job (criminal barrister) doesn't pay enough. This is due to government cuts and underfunding. 7th day of work this week. Remember if you are arrested ask for a duty solicitor. #barristerstrike The CBA
Shared by a member for all those thinking that unions are the bad guys #UnionStrong #ucu #respectfe #RailStrikes #barristerstrike #cwustrikes #postofficestrikes
Really surprised to find my bestie’s elderly neighbour in the Welsh valleys asking me about the barrister strike and what it’s all about. His response ‘It now makes complete sense why they’re striking. The media don’t say the real reasons.’ #barristerstrike
Keir Starmer May 2022: I am against strikes.
June 2022: #railstrike #barristerstrike #postalstrike #BTstrike #teachersstrike #doctorstrike #BAstrike
Keith's done it again. He gets it wrong every time.
Solidarity with the #barristerstrike ✊ The defence of legal aid is vital to criminal justice.

Barristers walk out of courts in strike over pay. With the #barristerstrike #RailStrikes #TeacherStrikes #DoctorStrikes and #TeacherStrikes it is time we paid our public sector workers a fair wage. #StrikeSummer #SummerofDiscontent

..Justice Secretary Dominic Raab won't meet striking barristers

The favourite attack line on the #barristerstrike is to wave a finger at average earnings at the Bar and then suggest that Criminal barristers are being greedy. Here’s how that would go down in court /1
We would much rather be inside doing what we love, but the #lawisbroken and it needs fixing. Thanks to @JoSidhuQC and The CBA #barristerstrike #Action4Justice
