Justice Secretary Alex Chalk has told lawyers to “keep their politics to themselves” after he was asked about those who seek to legally challenge Britain’s latest asylum policy.

“In the last 10 years there’s been a growing and I think regrettable trend for lawyers to actively parade their politics and identify more with their clients,” Mr. Chalk told BBC Radio 4’s “Today” programme on Tuesday.
