I suspect it is related to a case that Starmer dealt with in 2003 as a barrister, representing asylum seekers.

It can’t be found as it has been blocked.

I think this is the case.

I'm not sure why this should have anything to do with two Ukrainians and one Romanian, some of whom were not born in 2003.
The arson case was last year, the men were arrested, remanded in custody in Belmarsh, a Cat A high-security prison.

The men were hired to carry out the arson attacks as I read it. It’s the role of the person who hired them that needs to be identified.

It probably doesn’t. I was trying to guess what the case was about, and tried to put two and two together coming up with 5😊 but have decided it is almost certainly a national security issue.

Next guess - I bet Russia is in there somewhere.

This isn't a new blackout?

Why does that not apply to Peter Mandelson? He’s under investigation so why has that not been blocked?
Everything at moment is about that!!

I would not trust George Galloway to take the dog out if he was already outside.

And anyone who gets their news from X needs to give their head a wobble.

I don’t do X but it’s everywhere else.

We all know it will all be a whitewash.

What do you mean? I don't understand any of this.

Btw, It was ‘tongue in cheek’ about them being five Wwm2

So what is this thread about then?

This for information. AI

Blocks on reporting court cases involving a UK Prime Minister typically occur to protect national security, prevent prejudice in active proceedings (contempt of court), or safeguard the administration of justice. Such restrictions ensure a fair trial, protect witness identities, or prevent public disclosure of sensitive information, rather than specifically protecting the Prime Minister.

I wouldn’t be interested anyway, I don’t do X, or FB.
Like I said, we have way more issues going on in the world at moment.

And of course there is the small matter of an independent judicial system.

Errrr sadly for some of you, our PM is not on trial, so why should there be an issue?

There is no issue from me. I was just reminding those who are spinning the issue, that our judiciary are independent and the politician has no control over court procedure - however much they would like control.

Remember Johnson and his illegal proroguing of parliament. My how the politicians and media moaned.

I don’t care for Labour or KS, but no one deserves to have their homes, or belongings destroyed whatever the circumstances.

If you say so, MT62, I respectfully disagree.

Maybe not you Cossy but there has been plenty of nasty comments on other party leaders over the years.

I expect it all be Starmer’s fault, I expect the judge and jury will be corrupt and cover up all his wrong doings.

It’s like some of you simply cannot wait for more of what you call “sleaze” to surround our current PM, who by all accounts is the most hated PM since time began and can never ever get anything right.

Well the same can be said of you labour supporters getting your claws into other party leaders- if the shoe is on the other foot so to speak, you would have plenty to harp on about.

I think the majority of us, whoever we support politically are mature enough to differentiate between judicial and political issues actually.

If you say so, MT62, I respectfully disagree.

Tbh, there are more pressing issues going on in the world than this 🙄

If there is blocking, my guess would be state security.

No blackout, just nothing to see here at the moment!
