What the papers say - January 20
Sex offenders and the justice system make headlines again on Saturday, along with Brexit, Carillion and insurers.
The case of "black cab rapist" John Worboys leads two papers after the Government announced it would not seek a judicial review of his parole after taking legal advice.
The Daily Express says Justice Minister David Gauke's decision to abandon a judicial review of the Parole Board's decision provoked fury, as it raised the prospect of Worboys being released in a matter of days.
The Daily Mirror reports that Worboys' victims are urging police to reinvestigate the prolific sex attacker for dozens of further alleged offences.
