Ruth, Ruth, Ruth

I forgot to mention that one person who’ll have found a nugget of comfort in Ruth Turner’s arrest is the Attorney General Lord Goldsmith. Not in the fact of her arrest; but in the fact that she was Ray Ban outlet arrested on suspicion of offences under the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925 and the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (perhaps the relevant offence is section 148). Under neither of those does a charge need his consent to proceed.
