Fake Law is an important and necessary counter to the tsunami of dubious legal commentary on Twitter and in the media.
The Secret Barrister in equal parts informs, saddens and entertains as they wend their way through English law, calling out the common misconceptions, misunderstandings and sometimes wilful misrepresentations of both high profile cases and the underlying legislation. It contains enough citations to make a Wikipedia editor weep tears of joy.
This is a book every sitting and aspiring MP should read, along with a goodly chunk of our fourth estate.
