My understanding is the whole court system has like a multi-year backlog. Forcing offenders to be present for sentencing seems like a complete non-issue and in fact a distraction when compared to this much greater impediment to justice

“There will be exemptions for legitimate uses of nitrous oxide” Legitimate just means legal so this sentence is saying it will be legal to use it in a legal way… Pretty stupid

There was a story recently about all the sexual abuse by guards at HMP Berwyn. I don’t have a source to hand but I think there have been 6 suicides and a murder just this year at HMP Bristol. So it doesn’t surprise me that much.

Meanwhile what are the Conservative’s priorities? Making offenders attend sentencing. And making possession of laughing gas illegal - so we can waste more police time and send more people to prison over something that doesn’t matter at all.

Headline is a bit misleading imo, “military truck” sounds like a truck owned and operated by the MOD, not a former military truck that is now owned by some weirdo
