Terrible Tweet from Labour
 

I think Labour are scoring an own goal here. Huge extrapolation here and I'm sure most people will see through it. It's reprehensible and deserves an apology from Starmer at the very least. Whoever signed off on this needs to ask themselves some difficult questions. https://news.sky.com/story/keir-star...sunak-12851616

That’s terrible

And yet if it was the other way round?

Would be intrigued to know what the substance is behind the data. Just this week in Scotland we had a case of community service being a sentence provoking - rightly - outrage.

Labour are showing their commitment to fighting on culture wars with the tweet I guess. :erm:

Does one remember the political slurs aimed at Keir Starmer regarding Jimmy Savile when he was DOTPP.

Re: Terrible Tweet from Labour
 

Or the pressure they put on the bbc to stop saying bozos claims were false

Re: Terrible Tweet from Labour
 

Would still be terrible

Pretty poor taste, but that's what politics has become.

Re: Terrible Tweet from Labour
 

They’ve doubled down with a second, equally poor, one. In regards to the first, their response to the grooming gangs scandal and the way they treated their own MPs when they spoke out……..doesn’t put them anyway near the moral higher ground.

Re: Terrible Tweet from Labour
 

The first one is terrible, they really need to withdraw it. Awful statement. You can't use that kind of emotive attack, it injects so much poison into politics. The 2nd one is just standard political attack.

Re: Terrible Tweet from Labour
 

Shows basic stupidity , last time I checked judges set taliffs, not the government. Perhaps it's time to impose minimum terms for crimes , I vote in this case 99 years :D

Re: Terrible Tweet from Labour
 

Seems to be par for the course these days, from all sides. Ditto the Tories saying Starmer was somehow responsible for Saville. Must work with the dimwit masses, otherwise they wouldn't do it.

Re: Terrible Tweet from Labour
 

Judges are limited by the sentences for crimes which are determined by an independent council. That said the Government can set the direction for it. Although it's actually the SNP and Scotland that was the most recent example of a too-lenient sentence for abuse handed out though.

It would be much better if both sides tried to actually have a proper grown up discussion about the issues. But it never seems to happen. I’m just getting the impression from the current inmates of Parliament are failing to have any sensible plan for any issues at all. That they are just biding time until the next GE.
