 Solicitors advise their clients on their rights in the laws created by Parliament. The ones you describe as “lefty” are upholding the law, ie doing the job they’re qualified for. It sounds as if you’re advocating for changing the law to suit your own views. 
When Bullshitting Boris described them as “lefty lawyers” the Bar Council, who represents ALL Law firms said his words were “shocking and troubling” but hardly surprising coming from the man who rarely agrees that the law applies to himself. 
The term “lefty lawyers” has been around for 5 years or so. Why didn’t the then government amend laws that these solicitors were using to “exploit”?
Because lawyers are not the problem but it’s easy to dump blame on them.
