Former Director of Public Prosecutions for England & Wales, 2018-23. This account is dormant for the time being.

Joined August 2013
Apparently it’s my X Anniversary today. I joined Twitter ten years ago, but I never joined X, so this and my imminent departure from @CPSUK prompt me to call it a decade. Thanks to all of my followers and supporters over the years, really appreciated. Farewell for now.

This tragedy has put a shockwave through policing & all those that were close to Sergeant Graham Saville. My heart goes out to them all. We must never underestimate the bravery, sacrifice & dedication our police provide in the line of duty to keep the public safe.

Excellent work @CPSUK . Well done to the whole team.
⚖️ The CPS has secured one of the largest ever confiscations with an order against a corrupt former high-ranking Nigerian politician. James Ibori, and his solicitor, Bhadresh Gohil, benefitted to the tune of over £128m through corruption, fraud and money laundering.

We are continuing to improve the service we provide to victims. This new offer will help victims of rape and other serious sexual offences to have confidence when attending court and will reiterate the support available to them.
We want to boost rape victims' confidence to pursue justice & reduce dropout rates before trial. In an updated Victims’ Code adult rape victims will be entitled to meet @CPSUK ahead of trial to understand process & special measures that may be available. gov.uk/government/news/cps-t…
