@I_amMukhtar @metpoliceuk @MetTaskforce … Islamophobia is increasing and here’s one small example. I want to report a crime and would like to be contacted about this.

Here we go … a Starmer ally turns on him.
Andrew Feinstein@andrewfeinstein
Wow! One of the Labour Together apparatchiks responsible for bringing Starmer to power, & who had to resign as a Minister because he had journalists writing about LT’s malfeasance surveilled & investigated, has turned on Starmer. The end is nigh!

At the time I wrote of Rajiv Menon KC's closing speech for the defence of Charlotte Head:
"This is the one of the greatest legal speeches – including historical speeches – I have ever read."
He now faces loss of career and two years in jail for it.

(1/3) Garden Court North members express solidarity with Rajiv Menon KC, a highly respected silk and member of @gardencourtlaw, who faces prosecution for contempt of court following his closing speech in a high-profile and politically sensitive criminal trial.

Andrew Feinstein : "Keir Starmer is profoundly untrustworthy & has great difficulty interacting with people. When you actually have contact with him, you come away liking him less than you did before. And then there's the actual politics: protect the wealthy and protect Israel."

Rajiv Menon was my barrister when I appeared before the Tribunal investigating police surveillance of left and women's groups. His opening speech was brilliant. He is on of this country's most gifted barristers, a descendant of Mike Mansfield. His prosecution is an appalling instance of some judges prostrating themselves before the needs of the state as they did a number of times against Irish and Muslim prisoners. One hope they might have learnt from how they treated the Irish. Doesn't seem to be the case.

It may not be fully appreciated that the UK is not only seeing unprecedented treatment of direct action protestors as “terrorists”, but a lawyer representing them is himself being prosecuted for his remarks in court. Here his fellow lawyers explain what is happening and express solidarity. A crucial case for justice and the rule of law in the UK.

I'm glad it can finally be reported that Rajiv Menon KC, lead defence barrister in my daughter's (Filton 6) trial, is being *prosecuted*
Judge 'Injustice' Johnson is trying to punish Rajiv for a brilliant speech in the 1st trial because it led to the jury refusing to convict.
Jonathan Cook@Jonathan_K_Cook
One of my most popular articles ever included a long extract from a powerful closing speech by barrister Rajiv Menon during a Palestine Action trial in January. In the end, the jury refused to convict the six defendants. Menon is now on trial for that closing speech – for reminding the jury that they had a 350-year-old right in law to follow their conscience in reaching a verdict, even if it meant defying a direction from the judge to convict. Paradoxically, Menon joked in his speech that, because of that earlier legal principle, the judge, unlike his counterpart in 1670, could not lock them, the jurors, up were they to choose to follow their consciences. Instead, the judge is seeking to lock up the barrister. Does 2026 qualify as an improvement on 1670? It is believed that this is the first time a barrister has been tried for comments made to a jury in his closing speech. That should serve as a potent reminder of just us how authoritarian the current political moment is, and of how quickly long-established legal rights are being dismantled to protect British collusion in genocide. Read my article – and the part of the speech for which Menon is being tried – here: jonathan-cook.net/blog/2026-01-1…

@lucifee @mcdermottkc_ You’re a Starmer cultist. 😂😂Tragic and embarrassing.

@Dam_McCarthy @mcdermottkc_ Wow. It seems that you were disbarred for dishonesty. barstandardsboard.org.uk/disciplinary_f… and lawgazette.co.uk/news/public-ac…

I have never met Keir Starmer (as far as I am aware) but I know a good number of people who know him well. My impression is of someone who is in politics for the right reasons … essentially to improve life for others. He doesn’t get everything right … 1/

@HealthRegLawyer @mcdermottkc_ Another expose of Starmer and his character here (there are numerous others) :

Feel obliged to point out that (a) you were disbarred [struck off] for dishonesty and (b) it's disingenuous to simply say "I was a pupil at Doughty Street Chambers" without explaining (a).
I don't know KS myself, but anyone I know who has worked with him speaks of him very highly.

@HealthRegLawyer @mcdermottkc_ Very basic facts about Starmer are contained here (and a lot of people have a very low opinion of him) … orbooks.com/catalog/the-fr…

@Dam_McCarthy @mcdermottkc_ I looked you up. You're a Corbynista. You would say that about Starmer and I would take it with a pinch of salt. Sit down

On Friday night, we got a bizarre legal threat from Shabana Mahmood's special advisor: if we didn't agree to pull our planned story by 9pm, we would face a high court injunction.
I suspect he thought he could bully @brumdispatch because it's a local publication. He was wrong!
