Well, I just reported @SuellaBraverman and @RobertBuckland to the Bar Standards Board. Advising a client to break the law explicitly breaches published Bar Standards, and brings the profession into disrepute.
The usual punishment is being struck off. https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/online-reporting-form.html

In the unlikely event you want to do the same, you'll need their addresses.
Luckily, these are on their websites. Here are links

It would be terrible if several thousand people reported them, and their professional body suspended their right to practice law. If that were to happen, they could no longer hold their offices. Obviously this would be tragic.
Specifically, the thing to do (as I understand it) is remind @thebarcouncil that knowingly advising a client to break the law OR permitting an illegal act ... these things break their guidelines and are punishable by being struck off.
Braverman did one. Buckland the other.
