For a decade now, the Labour government has been slowly whittling down the number of people who can practically access legal aid. The result? More women are having their children taken into care. More refugees are being deported to hell-holes. More victims of domestic violence are unable to take out injunctions. Any law is only as good as the rigour with which it is tested – and for the British poor, every single one of our laws is being tested with a weaker hand.
