Crime and Banishment: A broken justice system, and hard Labour for Starmer
About this episode
In this country, we can get through multiple Prime Ministers in the time it takes for a serious sexual assault allegation to make it to trial.
As Keir Starmer battles leadership challenges (Real? Imagined?), Naomi Smith and Kenny Campbell look at the threats from Streeting, Mahmood and Burnham; there's the scent of blood in the air at Westminster.
And, in a week during which a judge expressed despair at having to set a chiild sexual assault trial date *three years* from now, they are joined by Evening Standard courts correspondent Tristan Kirk to look at just how broken Britain's legal systems are. Spolier: extremely broken.
