Alison Saunders to stand down as DPP and head of @cpsuk in October when her five-year term expires, @attorneygeneral announces. She’ll be joining @LinklatersLLP. Since 1987, only one DPP has served longer (Barbara Mills QC: six years). Before 1987, most DPPs served 10 to 20 years

On Law in Action, today, Radio 4, 4pm, why are police and prosecutors so unwilling to disclose evidence that could clear suspects? I’ll be asking the head of @cpsuk Alison Saunders if she still doesn’t think anybody is wrongly in prison today because of these disclosure failures.

Many congratulations to all the new silks today. You’ve worked hard for it. You are the best of the best. And remember, tomorrow the judges won’t interrupt you, they will be polite to you, and they will hang on your every word. Yeah, dream on. But enjoy your day anyway #silksday

Warnings of 'floodgates' following #Worboys ruling infuriating me this morning - compensation claims only successful if police manifestly fail in their duties. What about them just getting on with doing a good job?

Worboys: Metropolitan police lose their appeal over the extent of their investigation duty. @UKSupremeCourt have imposed a wider duty on them than they had argued for. So it’s the worst possible outcome for Met Police.
