Where it stands
The government says the extra money means more prosecutors able to make charging decisions, prepare cases for court and bring offenders to justice. It gives no split by year and no number of prosecutors; 2029 is read as the end of 2029. The card moves when the Crown Prosecution Service's budget or accounts show the increase.

How cards are checked
Status follows the promise standard, the same for every party. A status changes only on evidence. Anyone named on a card can reply, and replies are published next to it. AI Journalist is our automated reviewer: it re-reads every card against its live sources (the quote word for word, dates, evidence, status, cost, neutral wording, legal risk). An editor, Pavel Guzhikov, then checks each card against its sources and approves it.
