Prosecutors say they are still “considering material” over a disturbance at Manchester Airport as Reform UK confirmed it is pressing ahead with plans to bring a private prosecution against two men accused of attacking police officers.
Nigel Farage said on Monday that the party, which threatened to take action in October, would make the legal application after hearing “nothing” back from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) about the case.
The CPS said it is working with Greater Manchester Police and watchdog the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), but could not provide a timeframe for when decisions might be made.
In July footage of a fracas at the airport went viral and appeared to show an officer kicking and stamping on the head of Fahir Amaaz, 19, as he and his brother Muhammed Amaad, 25, were restrained by officers.
Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by former barrister Helen Fields, who says things are “much worse than two-tier policing” in the UK.
