Russell Brand invented his defence and it's looking bad. During instructions, Judge told the jury that Brand failed to disclose during police interviews key details of the defence he now relies on. He warned that these omissions could undermine his defence. "These failures to set out his case may harm his defence if you conclude that he failed to mention these facts in interview because he did not have an answer at the time of interview, he had no answer that he then believed would stand up to questioning, or he has invented this account after the interview."

There are so very many services that are suffering/struggling/failing at the moment. Policing, Fire and Rescue, Armed Forces, NHS, Social Care, Prisons, Courts and Probation, and almost certainly others. The common denominator is the Cameron/May era of politics
