Government Disappointed Over CPS Decision

Sir Keir Starmer blamed the previous Tory administration for the Crown Prosecution Service dropping the case against Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry.
DPP Stephen Parkinson stated the Crown Prosecution Service attempted for months to gather evidence, but a High Court ruling increased the threshold for spying prosecutions.
Minister Emma Hardy said the government did not apply pressure, was disappointed, and called China a challenge due to the large trading relationship.
Conservatives demanded the Prime Minister explain himself to Parliament, with MPs planning an urgent question on Monday.
Former CPS figures, including Nick Vamos, said the DPP's explanation still doesn't add up, indicating insufficient evidence or misunderstanding.
