Woke barrister's 'hypocrisy' as he takes left-wing campaign group Good Law Project offshore

The left-wing campaign group Good Law Project, led by barrister Jolyon Maugham KC, has faced accusations of hypocrisy after restructuring the organization into an offshore trust based in Jersey. The move allows the group to avoid the regulatory oversight typically required of charities in the UK, despite past criticisms of similar offshore practices by other groups. Legal experts argue that the change gives GLP the advantages of a charity without accountability, particularly since Maugham has shown resistance to regulatory frameworks. The group, known for using judicial reviews to challenge government actions, claims the restructuring aligns with its founding principles by allowing broader participation and operational flexibility.
