Jolyon Maugham often uses the fact that he is a KC to defend his losing arguments on X. Just two weeks ago, he used his title to reject the view he was “extremely misleading“. ‘I am a KC’, don’t you know…

Though now he’s changed his X bio to “Used to be a King’s Counsel”. Despite the fact on the Good Law Projects’ page, he still boasts the title of “Jo Maugham KC”, it looks like his practising certification expired at the end of last month. He no longer pops up on the Bar Standards Board website either. Co-conspirators can feel free to get in touch with any insight…

“I’m fed up with the fact that families across the country see their bills go up and down on energy businesses bills go up and down on energy because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world.”
