I actually don’t think it’s enough now for Powell to simply resign. Political interventional in the criminal justice system is surely grounds for a police investigation? Starmer has some serious questions to answer when Parliament returns tomorrow.

Sunday Times claims a Cabinet minister (probably Mahmood or Cooper?) called probably one of their junior ministers (perhaps irate security minister Dan Jarvis?) to tell them the China espionage case was being pulled at Powell’s request Either Powell is going to resign and appear…
