Big into rehabilitation, which will be a nice contrast to the lock them all up and throw away the key bullshit from the other side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some suggestion that one of the reasons Sunak went early on the election is that the prisons overcrowding crisis is about to come to a head. It absolutely is. It’s not scaremongering at all. It’s practically one in one out. You’re at the point too where the court backlog has meant people being tried for very serious offences have had 5 year delays. Then been found guilty but there is no space for them in prisons. It even impacts the ability of police to arrest people because they’ve got convicted criminals being temporarily held in their cells. The prison governors association (as I think they’re called) recently wrote to the MoJ perm sec (because there were in effect no ministers in the pre election period). This was to warn them the prisons are days away from breaking point. This is, of course, on top of underfunding across the whole sector, whether that be police, public prosecutors, court clerks, prison officers or whatever. With declining salaries in real terms and massive staff retention issues. Plus their actual day to day jobs. It’s a microcosm of the Tory mishandling of the business of government but also probably the most pressing matter. But you know, stop the boats. Which was actually one of their 5 priorities (and they couldn’t even make any progress on that). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 42638 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Starmer has announced a news conference for after this morning's cabinet meeting. Wonder if there's some snap policy announcement coming? There probably won't be, but they've played things pretty close to New Labour so far, and day 1 for them brought the BOE independence thing which was a total surprise - hadn't been in the manifesto or mentioned at all during the campaign. We'll see, probably not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving the ECHR will be their next grift so it remains to be seen how much traction they get between now and the next election. Hopefully about as much as UKIP did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
