"Last month, the Court of Appeal ruled the judge had wrongly sent the case directly to the High Court, rather than making a referral to the attorney general or dealing with the matter at the Crown Court."
After this incompetence he continued.

55-year-old former teacher Gary Day-Davies has been jailed for 15 years for sexually abusing a pupil.
He was convicted of three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one count of sexual assault by touching a child. The court heard that he plied the victim with drugs and alcohol before carrying out the abuse.
The offences took place between 2006 and 2009, both at the school where he taught and at his home. He was so brazen that he sexually abused her in the library and store cupboard in a classroom.
The victim reported the abuse to police in 2022.
Chris, what is most striking about your piece is not the reporting of events, but the relentless effort to frame every development through the prism of impending collapse.
Throughout the article, readers are presented not with objective analysis, but with a succession of loaded phrases and assumptions designed to reinforce a predetermined narrative. A premiership is described as "flailing", potential rivals are elevated into waiting successors, and routine political disagreement is transformed into evidence of a government supposedly on the verge of disintegration.
What is conspicuously absent is any serious examination of the reality facing any government today. Defence spending does not emerge from thin air. Every additional pound committed to the armed forces must either be raised through taxation, borrowed, or diverted from another area of public expenditure. That is not a political slogan. It is a fiscal fact.
You devote considerable attention to those criticising the Defence Investment Plan, yet remarkably little attention to what their alternative would be. If the spending settlement is inadequate, what precisely should replace it? Where would the money come from? Which taxes should rise, or which public services should face reductions? These are the questions that matter.
The article also appears determined to portray every resignation as a judgement on Sir Keir Starmer's leadership while giving scant consideration to the possibility that ministers can disagree on policy without it amounting to an existential crisis for the government. Westminster may enjoy perpetual leadership speculation, but governing a country requires rather more than gossip, intrigue and anonymous briefings.
Perhaps the greatest weakness in your analysis is the assumption that political commentary can substitute for political reality. The government remains in office with a substantial parliamentary majority, inflation has fallen significantly from its peak, economic growth has returned, and major policy decisions continue to be implemented. Whether one supports the government or not, those are facts rather than interpretations.
In the end, your article says far more about the current appetite among sections of the media for leadership drama than it does about the actual condition of the government. The country deserves analysis grounded in evidence, not a running commentary built upon Westminster's favourite pastime: predicting the imminent downfall of every Prime Minister.

Turns out that Rob Kenyon and Reform supporters in Makerfield don't care about women and children after all.
They don't mind paedophiles either.
They just hate Muslims and brown people.
They really let a UFC fighter call our only Black First Lady a man on the White House lawn at an official White House event … while thousands cheered and the biggest podcaster in the world smiled.
There is no economic policy fix for this. Many of these people are just racist.
Former teacher Jamie Varley has been found guilty of the murder, sexual assault, infliction of grievous bodily harm, and four counts of child cruelty relating to 13-month-old Preston Davey.
His partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, was also found guilty of allowing the death of a child, child cruelty, and sexual assault.
The couple were in the process of adopting Preston.
Just four months after being placed with them, Preston was taken to hospital unconscious and in cardiac arrest. Despite efforts to save him, he died.
They will be sentenced on Thursday, 18th of June at Preston Crown Court.
A multi-millionaire banker descended from royalty has been arrested by police hunting the 'Putney Pusher', the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal. The suspect was detained today at his £1.4million home in west London. A director at a private bank, he is a decorated former British Army officer who served in several major conflicts.
Northern Ireland remaining in the EU single market for goods means we have an entire region running as a counterfactual on how much wealthier we’d have been had we stayed. It’s actually outperformed London.

🚨🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 BREAKING | If this is confirmed, we can say that the US has lost the war with Iran.
The Iranian news agency Mehr, citing the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has published all 14 clauses of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the US:
1. Permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
2. The US commitment to non-interference in Iran's internal affairs and respect for the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
3. Complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.
4. The US commitment to withdraw its forces from around Iran.
5. Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian arrangements.
6. Suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products, and derivatives, and full access of Iran to its financial resources.
7. The necessity for the US and its allies to present reconstruction plans for Iran amounting to at least 300 billion dollars.
8. 60 days of negotiations to reach a final agreement based on nuclear issues and the complete lifting of primary, secondary, US sanctions, and UN Security Council and IAEA Board of Governors resolutions.
9. Reiteration of Iran's commitment under the NPT treaty not to produce nuclear weapons.
10. During the negotiation period, the US has committed not to add forces in the region and not to impose new sanctions.
11. Release of 24 billion dollars of Iran's blocked funds during the 60-day final negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before the start of negotiations.
12. Formation of a supervisory mechanism to implement the agreement.
13. The final agreement will be approved by a UN Security Council resolution.
14. Final negotiations will not begin before the release of half of Iran's blocked funds, suspension of Iran's oil sanctions, and lifting of the naval blockade, and the final agreement will only cover the fate of enriched materials and enrichment, lifting of sanctions, and Iran's economic reconstruction plan. Discussions about Iran's missile program and support for resistance groups are definitively removed from the agenda.
As a reminder, the official signing of the memorandum is scheduled for June 19 in Geneva.

@Peston In my view you should be thrown off the flight list on that basis. This isn't news you are reporting, it is conjecture and wishful thinking on your part. Disgraceful!
Journalist Janine di Giovanni:
"If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine,
Europe calls it a war crime."
"But if missiles hit a hospital in Gaza and 100 people die, it’s Israel's right to defend itself."
It's pretty damned obvious that it's not possible for a defendant to mount any form of adequate legal defence against offences they are not charged with.
Please RT this until this injustice is corrected.
Thank you.
