David Lammy will respond today to Sir Brian Leveson’s review of the criminal courts. It seems the justice secretary is not going quite as far as originally reported.

I have taken Melanie Field's comments seriously and consequently taken the position of some barristers who have referred to her comments as indicative of a fundamental error by the Supreme Court in interpretation of the Equality Act 2010 seriously and tried to analyse it seriously.
