Congratulations are in order for Robert Jay QC. Brian’s inquisitor-in-chief has scooped the much-coveted Barrister of the Year prize at the Lawyer Awards for his efforts during the Leveson Inquiry. Guido still feels his finest moment was being the inspiration for the #PopLeveson trending topic on twitter. Expect to find Mr Jay celebrating at Sheekey’s tonight…

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”

Should have got Barista of the year award for his performance in Leveson thus far
Well Done Boss. Ed sends all his love too.
We are certainly all in this together
LOL
Why? he is just another not very bright lawyer, with selected memory loss when it comes to certain witnesses. Like he forgot the miilitwats wife
There they go again, the establishment obsessed with the Celeb Culture.
Was the panel made up of lefties?
The Lawyers4You awards are presented by Miss Justine Thornton of The 39 Steps Chambers
He looks like “Toadfish” from Nieghbours.
I’d keep quiet about watching Neighbours, if I were you.
behave or I will resign
Well done boss!
What next for him a tour of the county courts along with the whitewash tankers.
Only if he is defending liebour party members
Yes well done old chap.
Oh just remind me please – who is paying his fee bill?
Us. But this is where he deserves the money. He sits there listening to people waffle on and on during a completely pointless inquiry, and the only way he can relieve the boredom, the sheer unending tedium, is to mentally calculate is ever-increasing fee. That’s how I used to cope with extremely tedious but generally well-paid consultancy work.
His clever bit – something I never managed – is to resist the urge to burst out laughing.
A Q.C.? Lt me think, in my day it was about £2K per day- now probably five times that. Gissa quid guv.?
Jays a proper actor , never get caught corpesing .
That’s why he gets the BAFTA
Fees are on the inquiry website, but the Clerk gets a cut. Link below to what appears to be a recent total.
http://www.levesoninquiry.org.uk/about/inquiry-costs/
July 2011 to March 2012
Counsel to the Inquiry: £715,300.
Other barristers providing assistance: £149,600.
I wonder how much he is paid for the time at Leveson.
He always sounded half-soaked to me at the pantomime known as the Leveson enquiry.
feel like a shag tonight
Firstly we don’t know the result yet, it could be another Hutton, secondly he sounded surprisinglyly ineffective especially to Labour types, and thirdly how can a man be competent in a profession if he can’t be arsed to shave of a morning?
He’s an ugly little git isn’t he?
Arrgghh! Damn you! My hopes, raised and crushed, too.
look leave the poor,stunted ugly little whitewashing twat alone, he is a liebour party hero
Are all Barristers Labour members? It would explain a lot if they were.
He is the Guardian’s hero.
Perhaps I will hire him to be part of my defence team.
He will be retired by the time you get to court
Robert Jay QC is a part-time judge, according to his bio on the Inquiry website. It will be interesting indeed to see whether any lawyers involved with voting him this prize have app*eared before him on any sort of regular basis, and to see how these lawyers have fared, versus those who were not involved in the voting. Must avoid even the app*earance of impropriety, don’t you know.
Are your seriously suggesting that a member of the bar would vote if there was a conflict of interest?
conflict of intrest no, but a nice little rent boy yes
He really does look like Michael Bentine.
Not the best shot I agree. Imagine him in a powdered wig…. god no! Forget it.
What, no award for Cherie Booth ?
An award for what Lord S.C.? Being the wife of a w.a.r criminal, or having the ugliest gob ever seen. She is ugly from the inside out.
We think she looks foxey
Ha, ha, got the prize despite Mili’s wife is working for me!
I am ready to serve again in my country’s hour of need.Just pick up the phone. All calls will be charged at £100,000 a second.
+ VAT
Hello honey
The Leveson charade is a joke. Not a funny one. IMHO, no one from this enquiry looks good. Especially those who have used it as a platform to spout their hypocrisy while trousering money and those who use it to score cheap political points. Disgraceful.
The prize is awarded by the liebour along with a pair of panties from that very special friend whom he works with
Barrister of the Year awards !!! Dont they realise how stupid this sounds . Can we have an Accountant of the Year; or an Office Cleaner of the Year…or well I could go on. Even the Spectator political awards seem incestuous and plain dumb and oleaginous. On occasions like this it is always advisable to remember the wise words of the American composer Charles Ives, when rejecting a Pulitzer; ” prizes are for children. i’m all grown up”.
window licker of the year
Hoons have nothing to celebrate. The Leveson Enquiry is a farce and nothing dignified about the Left trying to control the media. Farce!
He looks like the sort of chap with a strange hobby involving
Unicorns at midnight.
A joke!
We are reading this
Hope your enjoying the reviews?.
Protecting the rich and powerful while ignoring little person’s rights. Numbskull!

It is time to restate the bleeding obvious, Most lawyers are lefties [the Liebour Party is littered with foul beasts] They invent the laws to be able to screw the voters for every last penny……. The costs of the Leveson enquiry has been gestimated as being in excess of over £5m.. so guess who is laughing all the way to the bank……..
Jays fee will come in at slightly above £500K……..used to be called half a million back in the day
He’s a mundane third rate tosser with all the cross examination skills of a Police Community Support Officer.
Not one of the “witnesses” was ever put in a tough spot ,most lied egregiously.Blair even went home with his anus having been given a nice spit shine by m’learned friends tongue
A second year law student could have done a better job
What a f*****g country
fucking incest
Tribal member acting for tribal member.
Oy Veh.
He’s putting his talents to good use appearing at the London Palladium as Widow Twanky.
Congratulations Mr Jay.
He and Leveson are being paid to finally dig the grave of the print press…muzzeltov.
…hopefully starting with the grunDian and the In de pen dent
Both in desperate financial trouble already with tiny circulations and falling. The G******* would be bust years ago if it were not for BBC (taxpayer ads.) and the Scott Trust and AutoTrader…stop buying the car mag. it practically finances the appalling G******.
