The charity Rape Crisis England & Wales said its Breaking Point report highlighted a"record high" backlog in the crown courts, with victims and survivors of rape and other sexual offences facing"an average wait of 839 days from report to completion in court" - more than two years.
Shadow attorney general Emily Thornberry said:"At a time when we have a record backlog for rape cases going through our court system, ministers should be doing everything possible to support the victims of those attacks, and help them with the trauma they are facing."Responding to Liz Truss's speech today - in which she rejected claims she was responsible for tanking the UK economy with her mini-Budget, Nick Ferarri said:"My God, the brass neck of the woman.
