Yes, lawyers are not accountable to the govt. We are independent and accountable to our regulators.

Yes, our duty is to our client. Not to pleasing stupid letter-writing MPs.

She turned off replies to that tweet to prevent people correcting her, so I’ll ask @AthertonNWales here instead: Do you genuinely not understand how our legal system works, or are you simply pretending you don’t?
