Criminal defence solicitor based in Manchester.

Still enthusiastic about criminal law despite the current challenges in the criminal justice system.
Friday night. I never run out of food colouring. Did I saunter into the supermarket and confidently select all the ingredients save for the red food colouring. Yes I did. What do I not have and this cake, with 40 cupcakes (Barbie themed) are to be delivered to a 4 year old tomorrow morning. 🤣

Criminal barristers this week out of necessity, have learnt about cookies.

We couldn’t eat a single one.

The nationwide cookie massacre has helped not one jot.

As if we don’t have enough to contend with.

If you know, you know.

Monday morning. Always a challenge but more so when we have dealt with 17 police station matters over the weekend and we can't get through to custody for outcomes. 25 min on hold to speak to central number for north west courts.

Wading through treacle!

Hello! Looking for new bluesky gang who care about the NHS!

Twitter is a truly terrible place and I’m sure many of us were connected on there. Could you like and share this, and I’ll follow you back? Ju🤞💙

Billing, stuffing myself with prawn crackers with "The Holiday" on in the background. It's ok to watch Christmas films when preparing to receive novel rejections to bills!

I see the LAA updater advises rate increases in youth court and police station matters. Anyone aware of the details of the police station funding increase?

Today, my tiny little firm celebrated the admission of a new solicitor, following training. Who would have thought a Twitter shout out for help for a couple of weeks would have worked out so well for all. Happy qualification Miss M, LLB (Hons) Solicitor 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
