Barrister Chloe was called in 2019 and is in £70k worth of debt. She still lives with her mum in a council property. She was in court last week - 15 hours preparing for the case, 9 hours at court. She was paid £150. 'All we want is to be treated with the respect we deserve.'

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.’
