Aren’t baby pics meant to be restricted to that social media platform renowned as the depository of middle aged, middle class cyber bric-a-brac — Facebook?

Not according to James Turner QC, a family and crime law specialist at 1 King’s Bench Walk in the Temple.

The 39-year call silk took to The Twitter recently to pump out these shots of one of the youngest members of the Turner family gearing up for what appears to be a mini-pupillage.

And the thing about Twitter is that everyone in the ‘sphere feels entitled to comment.

In this case, Labour’s shadow attorney-general — Hull MP, Karl Turner — has piled in, tweeting at the silk: “Let’s hope the bar still exists when that little one decides career”. He then oddly signs off with a kiss.

Proving yet again there’s nowt so queer as t’internet.
