The public enquiry should also consider the behaviour of elected politicians during the investigation and prosecution of this case, and their willingness to confect rumour and spread inflammatory misinformation in the service of their own agendas.
Keir Starmer: “If this trial had collapsed because I or anyone else had revealed crucial details while the police were investigating,... then the vile individual who committed these crimes would have walked away a free man. The prospect of justice, destroyed for the victims and their families.”

Well, time to make a change. I've just started moving over from the other place, so it might take me a bit to get sorted. Hopefully I'll be posting a bit more regularly on here and it'll lead to some interesting chats.
