Letter to attorney general says emotive language politicising lawyers undermines system
More than 170 QCs and barristers who act on behalf of the government have written to the attorney general urging ministers to stop using “emotive language” that they say is “politicising” lawyers.
The letter sent to Suella Braverman QC is highly critical of rhetorical attacks on “lefty” and “activist” lawyers made by Boris Johnson and the home secretary, Priti Patel.
