Fingers crossed that today we’ll see a socialist elected as Mayor of New York City. Zohran Mamdani’s campaign shows there’s a huge appetite for practical socialist policies, building public infrastructure and addressing the cost of living. There’s political hope for the future! #VoteZohran #Mamdani

So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.

A barrister’s role is to represent not judge!

The US of A is a total embarrassment to itself! Cosplaying authoritarianism with fools like this.

It’s been a wild day for world politics - Nepalese government falls spectacularly, Charlie Kirk shot dead & Europe freaking out over Russian drones.

When are the precedented times returning again! 😨

This is just sick. NI bonfires have been out of hand for years with no legal or political intervention.

Searched high & low for this book in the last month - finally got the last copy in my local bookshop, who told me they can’t keep it in stock 🤣🤣

I have to say this is a great idea.

As a criminal lawyer, I’ve often had to explain to first-timers following imposition of a sentence what exactly will happen when they land into prison.
A massively anxiety-inducing experience for all of them.
A virtual tour of Midlands Prison, designed to inform and reduce anxiety for both incoming prisoners and their visitors, is set to be unveiled today.

The Irish Bar is a funny place. We are more a family than just colleagues.

Yesterday we lost one of the true great legends of the Bar & in particular, a legend of the Midland Circuit Bar.
