Labour’s Lord Ponsonby hangs his head as Claire Fox slams him with my latest film, watched over a million times, pointing out 2 months ago The Labour Party called the crucial Simon Brown Memorial amendment “welcome” before shamelessly pulling support today robbing thousands of hope

On the crucial Simon Brown Memorial Amendment “Lord Moylan confirmed in the Lords debate he would no longer push his amendment because Labour has chosen to abstain”

A shocking decision from The Labour Party & Keir Starmer which has robbed thousands of hope

Just catching up with this and I am appalled by The Labour Party cowardice behaviour and the consequences of their decision could mean more lose hope and lives will be lost.

Fantastic news Liberty have WON their case against the Governments anti-protest laws which ignored the will of Parliament. This decision completely vindicates the action Jenny Jones & I took last year in backing the Fatal Motion to stop the Governments abuse of power

crises is awful for victims & victims families. , , & , show that the state is all too often prepared to hide rather than admit error. The duty of candour by public officials shld surely be made law rather than voluntary. Liberal Democrats

'I believe that prisons should be compassionate and humane places – and even if you don’t, you must want less reoffending and fewer victims of crime, not more.' Karyn McCluskey on the impact of prison overcrowding and possible solutions⬇️ The Scotsman scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

Sky-high prison pop creates a powder keg, packed with frustration, stress & tension. Increased violence, higher likelihood of riots, suicide, more drug use, self-harm. Staff under greater pressure & face increased risks to their safety.

Peter Stefanovic To back down at this late hour is an act of cowardice. How can The Labour Party give a measure of hope and then withdraw?
I will be watching carefully how Lord Ponsonby wriggles out of this one. Keir Starmer you should be ashamed.

Please RT this widely. We must have confirmation that rumours Keir Starmer The Labour Party will U-turn & pull support in TODAYS VOTE for the crucial Simon Brown Memorial Amendment - which would be a cruel act of cowardice - are false! Do you still support this crucial amendment Keir?

If Keir Starmer The Labour Party pull support today for the crucial “Simon Brown Memorial Amendment” which is supported by Lib Dems, Green Party & others it would not only amount to a cruel act of abject cowardice on the part of Labour leadership, it could actually put lives at risk

Oh no.
If The Labour Party won't support the amendment, if they say they will abstain, then it won't be pushed to a vote.
This is a small amendment, affecting only a few people, but it's an injustice that can be at least partially righted.
Justice still matters, doesn't it, Labour?

“Campaigners have warned that reforms are a matter of life and death after almost 90 suicides”

We are excited that Kerry McCarthy will be presenting a Ten Minute Rule Bill on parental imprisonment today.

The motion calls for it to be a statutory requirement to identify and support children with a parent in prison.

It is fantastic to see that this bill already has cross-party

Feeling really upset, thinking of my son sat in a cell on unfair recall 23 hours a day waiting to start a course that excist in the community. How much more are we expected to take before we lose our minds to. Claire Fox Lord Moylan Alice J Edwards UN Special Rapporteur Torture
