Excellent FT article on the terrible situation in criminal courts. Police not investigating and charging crime gets more attention, but the sad truth is for many crimes, the state of the courts risks making police investigations irrelevant www.ft.com/content/e111...

Worth a shot.

From a Facebook account (Kerry Webb) - it reads:

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after.
And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before.
If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.
Saw this & thought l'd repost

Nick Read, PO CEO (but stood back) giving evidence at the PO Inquiry. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10... First lead from Telegraph so far: lawyers told him not to worry about past. A common theme in the evidence about lawyers here. The past of course contained oceans of their work.

A slim but important and illuminating read on the experience of LiPs in the County Court from @leader-kate.bsky.social I would recommend it to lawyers and judges alike. Cracking cover too.

So the interesting q is the reason for saying this "on balance and, I have to say, only just", that Mrs Rooney's legal team had not committed wrongdoing. What was it?
