Our thanks to Steve for this. An extract:
“It can now be reported that the original trial collapsed after a legal mistake, when it emerged Rachel Drummond, a key defence witness, was a court custody officer who had conducted welfare checks on Beal in her cells.
Ms Drummond had given evidence which, in the words of original judge Adrienne Lucking KC, described observing a relationship that had the hallmarks of abuse, although she had not seen Beal for about seven years.
But after Ms Drummond’s employment became known during cross-examination – Judge Lucking said there was no way to “ensure a fair verdict and a safe conviction”.

Our thanks to Nigel for this. The end of the piece:
“Le-Clercq, of Bournemouth, pleaded guilty to one count of theft by an employee and was given a suspended prison sentence.
Judge Robert Pawson told her: ‘I think you are living in cloud cuckoo land, I don’t think you have got a clue.
‘You worked your way through £1,000 a week for a year and you have nothing to show for it other than a load of social media posts.
‘You may well suffer from imposter syndrome and low self-esteem but it is hard to reconcile that with the photographs taken off your phone and social media of you cavorting around the place having fun.
‘I don’t see a scintilla of remorse, I see someone who became addicted to that shallow, consumer culture and addicted to spending money on fripperies.
‘You had a perfectly good job earning a not insignificant salary. Your real remorse, it seems to me, is for yourself. You were perfectly happy to go to Center Parcs and Edinburgh with no hint of shame.
‘You weren’t living within your means, you spent other people’s money on any number of materialistic and shallow things. You didn’t prioritise your children, you prioritised fun and spending. You were entirely selfish.
‘An awful lot of this you put down to other people – your ex-husband’s fault, not looking good enough in the workplace. The lifelong adverse effect of what you have done on your children is your own fault.’
He sentenced her to 14 months, suspended for two years, with a three-month curfew and 120 hours of unpaid work.
Judge Pawson added: ‘The only reason I’m doing that is because of your position as a mother of two young children who need you.’ Le-Clercq has a 12-year-old son and an eight-year-old daughter.
When asked how much money Le-Clercq could pay back, the court heard she now receives more money a month in universal credit and her part-time job as an admin assistant then she did earning £1,900 a month working full time at the clinic.”

A piece by the feminist ‘journalist’ Sarah Ditum on Unherd. I’ve left some comments, mainly pointing to Janice Fiamengo’s excellent pieces on the trans issue.
