Uttter nonsense.

A report by the government's social mobility commission in November 2016 already stated 6% of barristers derive from working class backgrounds.

To be specific. Only 4% of doctors, 6% of barristers, 11% of journalists and 12% of solicitors have working-class origins.

Unless they're referring specially to solicitors- I think it's misleading to suggest the legal profession is ahead on mobility at all.

Further, 88% and 94% of a profession being upper and middle class doesn't imply an improvement on social mobility at all.
