Sentence tripled for former police officer
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-22)

A police officer who continued an inappropriate relationship with a vulnerable girl he met on duty over several years has had his sentence increased.

Che Homersham (37), from Southgate in North London, had his sentence increased by 12 months after the Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP referred it under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

The court heard that Homersham met the 16-year-old girl while on duty. He contacted the girl from his personal number under the pretext of taking a personal statement before picking her up and driving her to a remote location. Homersham then asked if he could kiss her but, the victim refused his advances.

This was the start of Homersham’s inappropriate relationship with the teenager over several years, which included describing sexual fantasies and making sexual advances.

Homersham was arrested for a separate matter in August 2023, when his texts to the victim were uncovered.

In a victim personal statement, the girl said that Homersham’s actions has meant she doesn’t trust many people anymore and impacts how she perceives the police.

The Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP said:

Homersham abused his position as a police officer – a role that rightly commands public trust – and I welcome the Court’s decision to increase his sentence.

On 13 May 2025, Che Homersham was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment for misconduct in public office.

On 22 July 2025, his sentence was quashed and tripled to 18 months after it was referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Reform of Air Passenger Duty for private jets
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

This consultation seeks views on reforms to Air Passenger Duty on private jets.

The government is consulting on a proposal to extend the scope of the higher rate of Air Passenger Duty (APD) to all private jets, including business jets. This is driven primarily by the government’s commitment to ensuring that operators and passengers of such aircraft contribute fairly to the public finances. When APD was extended to private jets in April 2013, the higher rate was also introduced for the larger private jets, reflecting the higher class of service they provided. Eleven years later, the government is assessing whether the higher rate could be further aligned to its objectives, including whether the rate’s scope based on aircraft weight and passenger capacity remains appropriate.

When you give a notice to a partner, whose tax position is not being checked, to check the tax position of one other partner in their capacity as a partner, then the following rules apply:
- Your notice must name the other partner
- You do not need to give a copy of your notice to the named partner
- You do not need approval from the named partner
- The recipient partner’s appeal rights against the notice are as set out in CH23520 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch23520)
- If you seek the tribunal’s approval you do not need to give a summary of your reasons to each partner, although you may if you consider it appropriate. You should consider carefully and respond positively to any request by a partner for a summary of reasons, provided that doing so will not jeopardise your check
Guidance about relevant partners is at CH21600 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/compliance-handbook/ch21600).

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.
