The CPS left the comments open on their post announcing Danny Tommo had been charged. A few hours later, after seeing the reaction, they turned the comments off. There is still no update on when the boat pilot, or the people who enabled this human trafficking operation, will be charged. Why the silence? The public deserve answers, @CPSUK.

🚨NEW: Judge Tan Ikram CBE, the judge who denied Danny Tommo bail and said he was "satisfied there is a real possibility of an immediate custodial sentence", has a history of being placed in politically motivated cases. . Sentenced a man to 20 weeks in jail for posting a racist joke in a WhatsApp chat. . Let off the OnlyFans girl who threw milkshake at Nigel Farage. . Let off two women for terrorism charged after glorifying 7 October massacre. . Was himself given a disciplinary after liking a post on LinkedIn that stated Israel was a terrorist state. Although obviously not a crime, it did bring into question his impartiality. . He was given a CBE by Boris Johnson in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to judicial diversity. He has spoken out about what he sees as the problems due to the lack of ethnic diversity in the police and the judiciary.

Danny Tommo has been charged with criminal damage and will appear in court today - the speed of this process is absolutely astonishing. We're told it's in the 'public interest' to pursue criminal proceedings. All individuals are entitled to the same treatment before the law, regardless of what the establishment may think of said individual. The pace of incident to arrest to charge to court for Danny Tommo is rapid, to say the least. I will be watching very closely.
