A Labour government must right this wrong. There is no evidence to show tougher sentences cut crime or improve rehabilitation.

Reoffending costs the Home Office up close to £18billion and each prisoner place costs £50k per year. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…

A very thoughtful thread with regards to Sunak's welfare reforms. This tweet in particular I think encapsulates the utter failure on mental health in this country.

Immensely proud of Rhianna. The most impressive person I’ve met in the 6 years I’ve spent in politics.

I don’t know who is the luckiest. Her or Angela!
