@PippaCrerar "Good prcis of why Keir Starmer is now under such pressure to publish advice of deputy NSA to China spy trial. Deep frustration inside govt as to how this has been handled from the off - by prosecutors who they believe may have messed up the case by DPP who expert lawyers suggest was over-fussy in demanding govt make statement in open court and by failure of No XX to draw firm line under row. If witness statement isnt published it will fuel further suspicions of some kind of cover up - and that ministers are more worried about economic links with China than national security"

"Lord Sumption former supreme court judge says Robert Jenrick's plan for lord chancellor (justice sec) to appoint judges would be serious mistake. "If judges were appointed in todays polarised world by the lord chancellor I do not think the public would have the same confidence in their independence. "Theyre actually appointed by the judicial appointments commission which is an independent non-political body and it looks for the same qualities in the judges it appoints. "The only possible reason for going back to the old system would be to appoint judges who were less independent or more"

"Former Tory PM Theresa May says this would be a catastrophic mistake that would upend XX years of consensus between UKs main political parties and scientific community.

"Reform UK is biggest threat facing Tory party. Yet Kemi Badenoch made just a couple of passing references in her speech - sharp contrast with Keir Starmer last week. She accuses Nigel Farage of "following the same failed playbook" on economy with "no honesty" about scale of challenge ahead. And in dig at Reform leader she quotes George Bernard Shaw: Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it""
