What the Chinese spying case witness statements reveal

The Crown Prosecution Service appears to have made at least one serious error, while the government's position now makes sense

By me

emptycity.substack.com/p/what-the-c...

Yesterday this blog sought to make sense of the decision to drop the Chinese Spying prosecutions on the information then available, and averred that both the positions of the government and the Crown Prosecution Service did not make sense.

Now the government has published three witness statements, the picture now changes. The government’s position now makes sense, and the CPS looks as if it made at least one serious mistake and possibly another.

Given FindOutNow polls keep making news it's worth saying a bit more about their methodology.

Unlike other online pollsters it doesn't use a panel of people who've signed up to do polls. Instead they ask a small number of Qs to people playing the Pick my Postcode lottery. (Thread)

3/6. Happy with that, considering I was nowhere near with my first guess. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Never argue with idiots. They just drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

If PM had intervened Badenoch would be complaining that the independence of the DPP had been compromised. PM did absolutely the right thing. Case collapsed precisely as he explained - on the Tories watch, because of their failure to update legislation. LoTO should be apologising. Not doubling down.

The best way to defeat Reform is for millions of people to hear a version of this message:

"Farage's Brexit made you poorer. Don't let him do it again"

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Badenoch has called Starmer a lawyer not a leader.
Starmer has just demolished her. He is a leader and a lawyer. She is neither.

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.
