Leave to appeal was granted only on Ground 1 to the limited extent that prosecuting counsel's remark about the applicant being "homeless" (read against the background of a redacted video-recorded interview) posed a reasonably arguable risk of unfairness; the remainder of the grounds were refused because the summing-up, directions on joint possession/enterprise and treatment of the mixed statement were, when read as a whole and in context, adequate and non‑prejudicial such that any omission was not material and did not amount to a reasonably arguable miscarriage of justice.
