Original Note:
The DPP (CPS) can only stop a case when requested or when the DPP is satisfied that the prosecution is malicious or vexatious https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/private-prosecutions. However, the Attorney General (appointed by the Conservative Government for the past 14 years) can intervene in any prosecution they choose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolle_prosequi#Decision-maker_and_timing
