Resentencing must take place, the suffering has to end, let it be now.
Well done to Jimmy’s family in getting this raised and receiving a direct answer from the PM and a massive thank you to @annalouisedixon MP for highlighting the ongoing struggle and fight of the IPP sentence. Only an appropriate resentencing process will end this trauma.
PMQs yesterday incl Q on expanding use of #restorativejustice =putting victims at heart of cjs,reducing recidivism & saving £. Keir replied he’s seen power of #RJ -victims get answers & perpetrators face “human cost of their crimes”. Despite VCOP “we can always do more”@MoJGovUK

Great morning at the Swindon South member’s meeting so good to hear from @jimrobbins (Leader of @SwindonCouncil) as part of the let’s talk Swindon series.
Amazing deep dive into the Swindon plan, would really recommend attending these events to engage with the ambitions for the future of Swindon and our community culture.

Leaseholders are being ripped off by managing agents who levy huge charges but provide poor service.
It’s got to stop. I’m one of 34 Labour MPs who have written today to the country’s largest managing agent, FirstPort, to demand they come to Parliament to explain themselves.
Scafell Pike, Peak 2, Day 2 ✔️
Absolutely loved this climb - pretty good conditions today, tad windy & poor visibility at the summit.
Please, if poss, donate to Big Breakfast Plus - local charity providing breakfast to those in need. localgiving.org/fundraising/…

Good luck everyone receiving exam results today but remember your results do not define you. My son didn’t get the results he wanted 2 years ago - he was absolutely gutted but 12 months on he resat & got 3 A’s. He’s now just finished his 1st yr studying Chemistry.
To everyone receiving their results in #swindon today 🎓✨
Well Done!
Something I wish I had been told and that I share with all my patients, is to remember that results don’t define you!
If things didn’t go as planned, don’t be discouraged. There are still plenty of opportunities ahead. What matters most is finding the right fit for you.
Keep going.

The end of a double campaign whirlwind means I can get back to what I love most, writing - specifically about Politics and the NHS.

All of us who work in criminal justice are acutely aware it’s at breaking point due to years of £cuts & inept policy-making: a whole system approach to fix it is needed. I know @Heidi_Labour @ShabanaMahmood & team will take this challenge on head first & make a real difference.
Welcome to @Heidi_Labour as she joins the Ministry of Justice as Minister of State.
ALT A woman stands against a grey backdrop. She wears a light teal dress and a dark navy jacket. Copy reads: "Heidi Alexander MP appointed Minister of State in the Ministry of Justice."
Couldn’t agree more with @JamesTCobbler - the prison system is broken, it is ineffective in rehabilitating individuals and for many being incarcerated causes more harm. The evidence is loud and clear - community sentences are far more effective in reducing reoffending.
Today I’m voting for @Heidi_Labour because I want my young adult children to have a brighter future, to have hope and opportunity. It’s only a #Labour Government who can provide this. Vote Labour today, vote for change #generalection2024.

This plaque commemorates the birth of Edith New in North St Swindon. Edith went to prison for campaigning for votes for women. A reminder that your vote is precious so don’t forget to use it on 4th July #VoteforChange

Why would you hire the builder who destroyed your kitchen to fix it?

Things the Labour gave my family:
The NHS
Tax Credits/free childcare so I could work
Chance to buy home
Fixed school
Carers leave so I didn't lose my job when mom was dying
Paternity leave
Child trust fund
Things conservative gave us:
£1000 increase on my mortgage each month.
Always inspiring catching up with my local’ish’ #restorativejustice colleagues. Discussions included the need to reestablish the @RJAPPG post general election and drive forward delivery of RJ & restorative practices at every stage of the criminal justice system.
A pleasure to spend the day with @ResolveWest in Bristol for our latest regional #RestorativeJustice get together. Always a great conversation with a great group of people!
