Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 January 2026

Debate

Sentencing Bill

Contribution

I have been anxious about this for many years, but anxiety does not save lives or get justice to these people. It might make me feel good, but what makes me really angry is Government after Government flunking it and failing to be brave—but rationally brave, not reckless. The noble and learned Lord, Lord Thomas, is presenting the Government with a way forward; so am I. Pick one or pick your own, but for God’s sake do something.
