The Secret Barrister, an anonymous legal blogger, claimed Boris Johnson's 16-part Twitter thread was 'basically copied and pasted' from a post he had published.
The Secret Barrister added:"This afternoon, Labour and Conservative figures took turns to cast blame, each frantically trying to plunge the hands of the other into the victims' blood before it dried, notwithstanding the pleas of victims' families not to make political capital out of lost lives.
"Amid all the shouting and, in the case of the government, outright lying, the truth about how and why Khan was sentenced as he was has barely had a look in. So it is worth taking a quick look at ten things we actually know." In an update on the blog post on Sunday, The Secret Barrister again criticized Johnson for announcing"hastily scrawled" new policies in op-eds in Sunday newspapers and"falsely suggesting we still have the same system as in 2008."
He clarified that in 2019, no terrorist sentenced to prison is subject to automatic early release."The Prime Minister's attempts to suggest that we have the same system as applied at the time of Usman Khan's sentence, and that he is the man to fix it, are dishonest, cynical and exploitative," he added.British Prime Minister Boris Johnson visits the scene of the London Bridge stabbing attack on November 30, 2019.
