You are wrong. If they genuinely said that they refuse clients because of their personal view of the client’s conduct, they are either lying or a rogue in need of disbarment. It is the central ethical obligation of the profession not to refuse unpopular clients.

Hard to convey with appropriate moderation just how angry this garbage makes me. Lawyers arguing for their clients *under the law* are not “lefty lawyers”. They are lawyers, doing their job, and should not be criticised for doing so other than where they act contrary to ethics.

Labour won’t stop the boats. Keir Starmer is just another lefty lawyer.
