A high-profile barrister who was cleared of misconduct over social media posts has called on the head of the Bar Standards Board to resign.

Dr Charlotte Proudman, who specialises in family law, had faced a Bar Standards Board (BSB) disciplinary tribunal over a 14-part Twitter thread criticising a judge’s ruling over a domestic abuse case, saying it echoed a “boys’ club”.
