For the last few weeks, the Inns of Court have been full of rumours that Michael Mansfield’s chambers, Tooks, may be considering combining with a rival to create a legal aid super set. Until now, though, few have considered the possibility of a merger between Mansfield himself and another top QC. Our sincere apologies to Cherie Booth.

Kirsty Brimelow QC and John Cooper QC were at each others’ throats a few months ago, but then buried the hatchet on Newsnight. Good news! To commemorate their continuing good relations, here is a picture of Brimelow’s face super-imposed onto Cooper’s body, in which the combined duo proudly hold a picture of Cooper’s face.
