A close look at Truss's legal threat to Starmer
The former Prime Minister has sent a glorious but seemingly hopeless cease-and-desist letter
By me

@davidallengreen I note that it is not signed by any person. It merely says "Asserson Law Offices". How usual is this in the UK? To my inexperienced eye it has a sense of "this letter is sent by our offices but no actual person in our offices sees fit to affix his or her name to it."
@pieist @davidallengreen It’s relatively common for some firms.
@Nickiquote @davidallengreen OK. I don't recall ever seeing a letter from a law firm -- on a matter of law as opposed to a business matter -- that was not signed by a lawyer.
There are a number of good reasons.
For example this may be the client copy of the letter that was sent.
@davidallengreen @Nickiquote I see. In other words, this isn't necessarily the form of the correspondence that Starmer himself would have received.
