So @andyburnham wants to reform rape trials to improve conviction rates in response to Russell Brand’s trial & conviction.
However his justice secretary @AlexJJNorris hasn’t the courtesy to reply to the charitable foundation of a former Prime Minster, Lady Diana Brittan, the family of Lord Bramall & I about the victim status of those maliciously falsely accused.
Victims of sexual offences deserve justice, as do victims of deliberate false allegations.
Why does the Government appear so eager to address one injustice while ignoring another?
Are victims of malicious false allegations simply too inconvenient to acknowledge?

Sir Cliff Richard has joined calls for people affected by false allegations to be legally recognised as victims. Former Home Secretary Lord Brittan was also falsely accused, @skysarahjane speaks to his widow, Dame Diana Brittan.

My letter in today’s @Telegraph asks a simple question: why are victims of malicious false allegations still denied recognition under the law?
We demand fairness, not special treatment. Those deliberately, falsely accused are victims too.

Sir Cliff Richard has backed a campaign calling for those falsely accused of crimes to be legally recognised as victims.
Former Home Secretary Lord Brittan was also falsely accused around the same period and his widow, Dame Diana Brittan, is also calling for new victim rights.

Delighted Sir Cliff Richard has joined our campaign alongside Lady Brittan, Lord Bramall’s family & the Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation.
We’ve written to @AlexJJNorris & @MoJGovUK demanding that victims of malicious false allegations are recognised as victims in law.

Former SAS commanding officer:
Read this powerful article by @thetimes , and reflect on what has been shared..
This is not just “persecution by (extremely clumsy) process” imposed upon active-duty SAS operators fighting to detain vicious ISIS thugs in an active war zone, but also an example of performative self-immolation initiated by the most senior UK Special Forces officer at the time (G Jenkins) as self-serving exercise in what HE calls ‘transparency’……
So, if someone, anyone (quite possibly an enemy) within an active war zone says the SAS killed an unarmed man, then the so-called ‘senior leaders’ (some, as in this case, with near-zero combat experience) within the Whitehall-based ‘UK system’ desperate to demonstrate something that they call ‘transparency’ (or whatever else floats the MOD’s boat), will automatically launch an aggressive RMP operation to detain the SAS men involved….
Not on the basis of any hard evidence (there is no crime scene, no bodies, no bullets etc), but purely on distant, uncorroborated hearsay and remote, delayed analysis of operational reports; all supported by desk-bound, chinless leaders that seemingly care more about how they will (personally) look in an MOD promotion board than trying to properly understand the circumstances faced by the SAS men and defend them accordingly.
What a gift this utterly pathetic weakness, low threshold investigative process and twisted self-defeating system gives to our many enemies….and what an awful message it sends to those that still volunteer to fight on our all of our behalves….

POST OFFICE BANKRUPTED A MAN AFTER HE ASKED FOR HELP 91 TIMES
Lee Castleton @CastletonLee did not hide the problem.
He reported it 91 times in just 12 weeks.
He kept telling the @PostOffice that Horizon was showing losses he could not explain.
Their response was to audit him, suspend him, demand around £25,000 and eventually bankrupt him.
In 2003, Lee Castleton and his wife sold their home and bought a small Post Office branch in Bridlington, hoping for a quieter life by the sea with their two young children.
Within a year, Horizon was showing unexplained shortages.
When the case reached the High Court, he could not afford a lawyer and represented himself.
He lost.
The Post Office then pursued him for about £321,000 in legal costs.
He was bankrupted.
His children were bullied at school. His daughter was spat at because people believed her father was a thief. His wife's health suffered.
In 2019, he was one of more than 550 former postmasters in the group litigation that ended with a £58 million settlement.
His share was around £20,000.
Years later, former Post Office chief executive Paula Vennells told the Horizon IT Inquiry that his treatment had been unforgivable. She also accepted that she had probably signed off the legal costs that helped bankrupt him.
He is now pursuing the Post Office and Fujitsu for up to £8 million, arguing that the original 2007 judgment was obtained by fraud.
In May 2026, the Court of Appeal ruled that his claim should proceed as one trial.
Almost two decades after those first calls for help, he is still fighting.
91 calls.
No solution.
Then bankruptcy.

Following Jason Arday’s tragic death, the University of Cambridge must now face serious questions about its duty of care. Institutions cannot celebrate & promote individuals when it suits them, then regard their welfare as someone else’s problem when controversy erupts.
Cambridge was not the only player in this tragic story. The media & others must also reflect on their responsibilities.
Scrutiny is legitimate; humanity & duty of care must never be optional.

Another innocent man has endured arrest, public humiliation, reputational destruction and months of anguish because of entirely false allegations.
The sentence imposed in this case is far too weak and should be reviewed.
False accusers must face consequences equivalent to the punishment their victims would have received had the allegations been true. Anything less fails to recognise the gravity of the crime.
It isn’t just celebrities and ‘VIPs’ who can be falsely accused. As Lady Brittan said on @BBCWomansHour recently:
“You could be in any community, any part of the country, urban, suburban, rural… against whom false allegations are made and with it goes the subsequent trashing of people’s reputations; I just don’t want what happened to me to happen to them.”
Those words capture precisely why this issue matters. A false allegation can devastate an ordinary life - whether it be a carer, teacher, nurse, police officer or any other member of the public - just as surely as it can destroy a public one.
Lives, careers and families can be destroyed by the allegations alone. The damage is often permanent, even when complete exoneration follows.
It is time for the Attorney General to review sentences in such cases and for a national register of proven false accusers to be established. If those on such a register are predominantly female, so be it. Equality before the law demands equal accountability.
Society continues to underestimate the devastating impact of malicious false allegations. This is a dreadful offence against the innocent, one that diverts resources from genuine victims and undermines confidence in the justice system itself.

Lady Diana Brittan asks an important question in today’s @Telegraph: if someone’s reputation is destroyed, their home searched, their career ended & their family subjected to years of anguish by malicious lies, why are they not recognised as a victim by the criminal justice system?
I welcome the @DavidLammy’s response to our joint letter, but the central question remains unanswered: will those falsely accused by people convicted of perverting the course of justice finally be recognised within the criminal justice system?
Until then, the forgotten victims remain forgotten.

Everything about this footage is appalling. Henry’s family deserves a proper inquiry into how and why the police behaved with such callous disregard for his young life. And the killer’s family deserves proper accountability for their disgraceful behaviour.

The Government call it modernisation, we call it gagging justice!
Instead of improving accessibility, they are scrapping the part of court that protects us all, victim or accused.

The Courts and Tribunals Bill will see a single judge replace a jury for cases where a prison sentence of three years or less is expected.
“After 800 years of Trial by Jury, the government is dismantling this cornerstone of the British justice system”
