The incredible thing about the CPS decision is that this emphasises how calling a snap election is so damn irresponsible.
Article 50 letter had been delivered, we have 2 years... and Theresa May chose to waste the first couple of months by shutting down government.
As this CPS announcement shows there was no risk to her position, so this is just an attempt at a power grab, and the attempt itself is massively destabilising and will lose us a lot of time to get our negotiating position finalised and matured.

Is it? I think most legal commentators suggested that this would be the outcome, as the CPS had to prove intent to defraud, which is very, very difficult in a case like this.
