A senior politician and former Justice Secretary, Michael Gove, delivers a blistering attack on the whole criminal justice system as badly managed - from the police service through to the courts. Michael Gove's comments come in an interview on our new podcast series, “The Lord Chancellors: Where Politics meets Justice” hosted by journalist Frances Gibb.It will examine the ancient post of Lord Chancellor, which is now combined with the role of Justice Secretary. The position holds the delicate balance of power between the judiciary and the executive, with special responsibility for maintaining the rule of law. The new podcast series comes after last year’s successful first series, “The Judges: Power, Politics and the People".
