What an odd way parting comment. The criticisms of his previous proposals are that he never engages with service users, doesn't address or consider any warnings about his proposals and ploughs on regardless, leading to all of the problems everyone had identified if he had ever bothered to listen. This led to chaos in the RCJ where they had to suspend budgeting to avoid CMCs being delayed, and chaos following Mitchell where they needed to change the CPR to allow extensions after his zero tolerance approach again brought the system to a halt. They have also changed the CPR to address the issue of budgeting children's PI cases which he was previous warned about but ignored.

In short, the criticism is that he never listens to anyone.

His answer? 'Just remember folks, I never change my mind'!? That is the problem, not the solution.

It's a world of post-truth justice where facts, evidence and informed opinions are worth nothing compared to the gut reaction of one man, who keeps on getting it wrong.
