@NeoDoc11 Mark Roberts retires from @cheshirepolice with serious questions unresolved. Records show serious crimes reported against former @policeconduct Commissioners & others alleged to have assisted #Cheshire SIO's evade arrest from Dec 2003 were not properly recorded or investigated
@CheshirePolFed Shame I had to turn to @MerPolFed for support when @CheshirePolFed actively undermined me whilst I was off sick, ultimately causing a permanent psychiatric injury, so cheers for that.

That is why this evidence should not be left to the same institutions whose conduct is in issue. It requires independent powers to obtain documents, compel witnesses, review prosecutions and identify whether any convictions require case by case reassessment.

Institutions bury scandals when the truth would expose not one error, but an ecosystem: complaint bodies relying on police investigations, prosecutors relying on police disclosure, and victims left to prove that the system failed them. #PublicInquiry#Accountability

The uncomfortable point is this: if the evidence is right, the problem is not only what @cheshirepolice officers allegedly did in 1998. It is what police, prosecutors, oversight bodies and law officers allegedly failed to do after they were told. #InstitutionalFailure

@attorneygeneral will not want this buried-but-examined contradiction exposed because the Attorney General’s own disclosure guidance applies across investigators and prosecutors. If disclosure failures were known but not addressed, that becomes a constitutional issue
22/26
The DPP would not want this examined because any finding that prosecutors failed to address known disclosure risks, complaint-handling failures or possible unsafe convictions would raise questions about leadership, case review and institutional responsibility.
21/26
@CPSUK will not want an inquiry into whether prosecutors were given, or acted on, material concerning police misconduct, complaint proceedings & disclosure risk. CPS guidance recognises police misconduct can be disclosable where it affects credibility or the investigation
20/26
@policeconduct do not want evidence reopened because it would force questions about whether they properly handled allegations involving police officers, chief officers & its own decision-makers, & whether serious matters were deferred, dispensed with or left unresolved
19/26
@ukhomeoffice would not want this examined because the @policeconduct is sponsored by the Home Office, and official confidence in the complaints system depends on the public believing that serious allegations are referred, recorded and investigated properly. #PublicInquiry

@cheshirepolice do not want an independent investigation to ask whether disputed intelligence was used to justify surveillance, searches, arrests, complaint decisions and later non-disclosure. If true, it would expose failures far beyond one complaint file.
17/26
If this evidence is properly examined, it does not merely raise questions about individual decisions. It raises questions about the machinery of police complaints, prosecution disclosure, oversight & ministerial accountability.

I am calling for an independent public inquiry with powers to obtain documents, compel evidence, examine @CPSUK & @policeconduct decision-making, assess disclosure failures, and identify whether any convictions require case-by-case review. #IndependentInquiry#CPS#IOPC

The central public-interest question is unavoidable: were these isolated administrative failures, or evidence of systemic failure, including possible systemic corruption, requiring genuinely independent scrutiny? #SystemicFailure#PublicInquiry#RuleOfLaw

It should identify which officers, @CPSUK prosecutors, oversight bodies and chief officers were involved, what intelligence or expert evidence was relied upon, what was disclosed, what was withheld, and whether any conviction may require individual review. #PublicInquiry
11/26
Any review should map investigations handled by @cheshirepolice Central Drugs Unit, Major Crime Unit, Force Major Incident Team, Major Investigations Team and later serious and organised crime structures between 1998 and 2026

The purpose of naming these cases is not to assert that any conviction is unsafe, or that any named officer or institution is guilty. It is to ask whether cases involving unresolved allegations, disputed intelligence or disclosure concerns require independent review

The Lucy Letby investigation & convictions have intensified public concern about #cheshire investigations, expert evidence, prosecution review & institutional accountability. The public is entitled to independent scrutiny given historic evidence disclosed by @policeconduct
