The top judge in England and Wales has warned politicians not to interfere with the judiciary or browbeat judges.

Lord Phillips said he was taking up the post of Lord Chief Justice at a time when there was a perception that judges were in conflict with the government.
They were not, he said, but stressed it was never right for ministers to tell judges how to interpret legislation.
