I am not one to usually comment on matters like this publicly, however we desperately need to reform our prison sentencing in the UK. I am utterly dismayed that Huw Edwards will be avoiding prison given the evidence against him. Either the message being made is that if you are

It’s International Equal Pay Day. While we have a long way to go we are proud that we have statutory instruments like the Equality Act 2010 to ensure equal pay. We also look forward to the new protections that will be afforded in Labour’s new Employment Rights Bill.
