Legal blogger the Secret Barrister wrote an in-depth piece about Usman Khan's sentencing history to debunk many of the claims made by the Prime Minister and Home Secretary Priti Patel. But the anonymous blogger alleges that the PM has reproduced their blog in a series of tweets.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 74%. (I'm a bot)

The anonymous blogger now alleges that the PM has reproduced his or her blog in a series of tweets that Mr Johnson published this morning.

The Secret Barrister was particularly irked because they said they had written their blog in response to "Lies" from the Prime Minister.

The expert replied to the Prime Minister and a link to the original blog saying: "Hi Dom! You forgot to credit my blogpost from which this thread was plagiarised. Here you go:".

The legal blogger then pointed to a number of elements in the PM's thread which were the same as the blog.

The barrister was moved to write his or her blog after the Prime Minister said: "I have long argued that it is a mistake to let serious and violent criminals out of prison early and it is very important that we get out of that habit and that we enforce the appropriate sentences for dangerous criminals, especially for terrorists that the public want to see."

"Worked with dozens of ministers of all parties I have never felt need to say this: This Prime Minister are both lying to us."
