David Davis in Parliament today

Today in Parliament, David Davis raised concerns about the way Cheshire Police handled the Lucy Letby case, questioning their decisions and oversight in a case that has already shaken public trust.


In response, Sarah Jones defended the police, saying they followed procedure and that the public shouldn’t lose faith in them.


This is exactly the problem. Reassuring people that procedure was followed doesn’t fix anything. Trust would be far better restored if the police had the decency to own their mistakes and put them right. Without that, it’s hard to believe that, if another innocent person were ever caught up in a serious error, the priority would be to make it right rather than to save face.

I've written to Sarah Jones about this, her email is sarah.jones.mp@parliament.uk

Lucy Update

Does anyone have any current news about the CCRC decision? I'm not enjoying the silence so I thought I'd open the conversation.

From today’s Sun (of all papers!) I’m hoping that their reference to Lucy as the’so-called Angel of death’ might signify a change in their collective attitude, unless I’m reading it incorrectly.

Letter in the DT online today (Sat 25 July 2026)…


Letby medical defence


SIR – As a retired consultant obstetrician and maternity hospital chief executive, I find it very difficult to comprehend why the maternity notes were not made available to Lucy Letby’s original defence team (“Letby baby died from birth trauma, medical expert claims”, report, July 22). 

Every student midwife and medical student is taught that the condition of a baby at birth and shortly afterwards is highly dependent on the antecedent pregnancy, labour and delivery. Every neonatologist, paediatrician and neonatal nurse knows this, too. I imagine that every trainee solicitor and barrister is also made aware of it as part of their medical negligence education. 

That maternity factors were not taken into consideration in Letby’s defence, in itself, justifies the calls for a retrial.
