They aren’t a couple anymore.
I actually have my doubts about this. JV was adamant enough to correct whichever barrister said former partner. JMF said they weren't together but I find it odd that JV doesn't seem to know that so I think JMF was just saying that to distance himself. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they were still together right up until the trial begun and it won't surprise me if they reunite after.

This is it for me. If JMF is as innocent as he says, there isn't enough anger. I'd be blaming myself regardless, saying I should have known, I've failed. I'd be raging, telling the judge to lock JV up. But he's very passively cooking a roast and being beautiful. Fuckkkk off!
Sorry that really made me laugh, too busy being beautiful 😂

I do still wonder about the dynamics between the two of them.
I definitely get the impression that JV had zero interest in raising a child. I think possibly they are both as bad as each other, cooked up the idea together, and JV fancied a year off work on adoption leave, with extra cash coming in for adopting. That’s why he is resentful to JMF getting out and about whilst he’s stuck with a baby who is only interesting for about 30 mins a per day for abusing. I also think JMF realised early on that JV was a bit out of control.
I wonder whether JMF went for JV as he worked in a school. I wonder whether JMF was the pdf and JV was just a sadist and their interests merged.
I did also wonder if JMF was the pweirdo but he's just the smarter of the two and got JV to do the actual abuse and send it to JMF? I think a lot of evidence has potentially been deleted after being seen or something

Haven’t they been on remand in separate prisons since last June? They were clearly still a couple when they were arrested, but they seem to have different ideas about whether or not they’re still “together”.

Ugh, I don’t even want to imagine what else went on when they were both with Preston that wasn’t documented or what was deleted. It’s clear they thought the stuff they kept could be explained and they thought they were one step ahead by not saving the worst of it. Absolute creatures.

All well and good in principle however, if you took a look on Google there are hundreds of vacancies. Social work is underfunded, stretched & people leave the profession in droves. There is a current crisis in social care that is not being reported on - I worked in a team where 15 social workers left in a month. The same team is now only young inexperienced social workers, people don’t want to do it anymore. I was a social worker for 12 years and left.

The resources aren’t there, there’s no staff & things get missed as it’s over stretched and underfunded. All the comments Iv seen online show how out of touch people are with regards to the reality of the crisis in social care. I saw a comment where someone said every visit should be with 2 social worker. They don’t have time in their week to visit the 40 children on their case load let alone doubling up
Totally agree with this! And frustrating that in situations like this blame is aportioned to the individual worker who is probably working into their own time, seeing less of their own family to try their best for the children allocated to them and not at the system that is forcing them to work into those conditions at the expense of their own well-being and in rare cases, children they are working with.

I'm not sure of the level of contact they will have had but Constance Marten and Mark Gordon maintained a relationship under similar circumstances.

You can have the utmost respect for people working their arses off in the public sector (multiple years myself!) but still acknowledge there’s sometimes grave mistakes.
The doctors in the Letby case had my heartfelt sympathies and still do. They were the heroes of that case but the facts remain that if they had done things differently then a whole group of little children would be turning ten right now. They aren’t to blame, they aren’t responsible for the deaths, perhaps even more effort from them wouldn’t have come to anything and for every awful loss there are probably thousands of lives saved but even they acknowledge personal errors and failures. Recognising those mistakes, changing the systems that allowed them to happen and fighting for change is all you can hope for.

I think it was @Beigerac who said JMF reminded them of an old school paedophile like Sidney Cook etc & I totally get that.

I was listening to a tik tok ( Break the ice ) who interviewed Vanessa Frake who said she understood they were both in Durham

I just listened to the latest podcast and they said there's 11 jurors, not 10.
Theres a guy on X called Dave Sharp who campaigns against child SA, he's outside the court and he said sky news and channel 4 news have turned up. So I wonder if a verdict is expected today?

Probably just in case, they want to be the first to break it and be at the scene

I agree with what you've said. I just don't think social workers can ever be in a position to question a doctor.
I remember after the murder of Sarah Everard, the police commissioner said women should flag down a bus if they felt in danger from the police. As if a bus driver has authority over the police.
And this is what this is giving. Social workers should continue to take the opinions of doctors as well as their own gut instinct. If a doctor says is fine, I can see why a social worker would dismiss their instincts.
