The Crown Prosecution Service does indeed have to give approval for police to charge suspects in serious crimes. But where is the evidence that when Keir Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions the CPS wrongly refused such consents in rape and child grooming cases? There is none. On the contrary Starmer was pro-active in focussing on this type of crime as @nazirafzal has correctly highlighted. There may well have been failures to address this issue elsewhere through reporting and investigation but that is not the role of the CPS. Baseless innuendo does not contribute to serous debate.

@robertflute @RDE1308 Meanwhile in Dorset, it's a lovely evening. A red sky - so tonight of all nights another reason for shepherds' delight. Merry Christmas to you both.

@RDE1308 @nigelkay The assembly house - good chap

Where’s Wally? @robertflute @nigelkay

@RawlingJohn How were local fans dressed? I went to a World Cup game between UAE and Saudi. All fans dressed identically in white robes, just different coloured scarves. They were very well behaved - only water for sale in the bars.

@nigelkay Not somewhere i had visited before. Huge construction going on in Riyadh. Atmosphere at shows getting better. Dave K, Janet, Owen among those you'd know

Long journey back from Riyadh now to the Vale of Belvoir. So an early chance for me to wish everybody a Happy Christmas

@RawlingJohn There can't be that many survivors! How was Saudi? I've worked a lot in Bahrain, which is a little more liberal, but never had the courage to cross the causeway.

@nigelkay Thanks Nigel. Your ears must have been burning when we met for the old farts reunion in Leicester. You'd have loved it

Glover, Cross, Whitworth, Weller. Rofe is further along.

Strong rumours tonight that Killick is being lined up to take over at Weymouth @thesameoldfew #dorchestertown #comments-anchor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dorsetecho.co.uk/news/24758637.…

@daws_marcus @DorchTownFC I thought the ref denied us two clear cut penalties too.

@daws_marcus @DorchTownFC Stunning. Did the wind help? Not sure. But some of our football today was very slick. And although we sometimes looked vulnerable to a quick counter, we had enough chances to win the game. Their keeper made a couple of crucial saves to keep them in it.

😁

@robertflute @RDE1308 Without wishing to be pedantic, it is half bad - unless you consider a view of acres of tarmac to be good! (What's more, as a Leicester Tigers fan, I've seldom enjoyed my visits to Sandy Park!)

@RDE1308 @nigelkay Well this isn’t half bad - #Hotelviewsoftheworld - Exeter

@DorchTownFC Great game this afternoon. Well deserved share of the points. Thanks to Rod at the Saxon Arms for his generous hospitality in the sponsors' lounge.

@HistoryTigers @LeicesterTigers Outstanding

PATRICK WILLIAM HOWARD Australian international and at various points @LeicesterTigers centre, fly-half, backs coach and head coach between 1998 and 2007, Pat Howard was born on 14 November 1974.

@robertflute @RDE1308 I suspect it's better in the dark than in the daytime....

Hmm 🤔 @RDE1308 @nigelkay certainly better than last weeks #hotelviewsoftheworld

@RDE1308 @robertflute Are you paying for this room?

#hotelroomwithaview @nigelkay @robertflute Stalag 19 - London Town strikes again 😩 Nice sunset!

@robertflute @RDE1308 I admire your company's standards.

@nigelkay @RDE1308 I (well my company) was paying that time my friend

Hmm 🤔 ⁦@RDE1308⁩ ⁦@nigelkay⁩ What a view 😂 Preston

Cop this @robertflute @RDE1308 #roomwithaview Domaine de Bayeux

Another St Mary's miracle. Admittedly it was a smash and grab this time, but we love playing there. #soulei #LCFC
