The U.K. Reform Party under Nigel Farage and Richard Tice are launching a private prosecution against the individuals who are alleged to have attacked police in an incident at Manchester Airport in the summer
They have hinstructed TM Eye Ltd, one of Britain’s leading private prosecutors with more than 1,000 successful prosecutions under its belt, to do this private prosecution. It has today written to the Greater Manchester Police and CPS confirming this and setting the ball in motion.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph they say that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has not charged the two alleged assailants almost four months later.
“This is despite us serving notice to them on Oct 7 that if they were not going to do their job, then we would do it for them by running a private criminal prosecution against the assailants.”
The party says that “When the CPS wants to send a strong message it can, such as bringing rapid charges and trials, based on CCTV footage, of those involved in disorder and riots in summer 2024.” and accuses the Prime Minister of double standards and two tier policing
