1/ To call this "full fact" is misleading. It omits that, prior to the conclusion of the investigation #Starmer commissioned into his own CPS, he claimed he'd been assured that that "the decisions were the right decisions based on the information and evidence then available"

2/ Later, investigations concluded this claim to have been incorrect and that "mistakes were made". justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/media/…

3/ Moreover, the report makes clear that there were "no insurmountable barriers to prosecution" and that an explanation as to why charges were not brought as only been offered "in part", laying the most of the blame on police...

4/ Therefore, even following the publication of the report, questions remain:
Does the fact that Keir Starmer was not the reviewing lawyer for the case mean he had no influence at all on the decision?

5/ Given that there were "no insurmountable barriers to prosecution" why did #Starmer feel assured, in 2012, say that he'd been assured the decision not to prosecute was correct?

6/ "Mistakes were made", is in fact the title of the report. Given that there were no insurmountable barriers to the prosecution of possibly Britain's most prolific sex offender, and that the failure to prosecute occurred under #Starmer's tenure, why did he not resign as DPP?

7/ Regardless of whether he was directly involved in the decision - of which there's no evidence - isn't it right & proper for the leader of an organisation to carry the responsibility for its failings & shouldn't the DPP at the time of the failings have been held responsible?

8/ Why did the Director of a prosecution service that had made such a serious mistake in failing to charge Savile of even a single offence escape censure and even go on to be rewarded with a knighthood? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6056…

9/ How on earth is it justifiable that, 10 years since the report was commissioned we still have only a "partial" explanation for the failure to prosecute #Savile and where does fault lie?

10/10 Regardless of what we think of #Johnson and his tactics, there remain many unanswered questions regarding the Savile case, particularly regarding why charges were not brought. This is deeply worrying.
