Given the monumental waste of resources that this nonsense costs #HEIs in the UK, whilst #Universities are already under massive cost pressures, it should be abandoned altogether!

Important issue.

Labour's populist pantomime over sentencing rules plays into the hands of the right | Janey Starling Forcing the abandonment of new commonsense, evidence-based guidelines is a new low for a party that once prided itself on justice reform, says Janey Starling of campaign group Level Up

Infuriating to see yet another Labour government seek to appease a rightwing voter base by reinforcing the “tough on crime” doom loop that has gridlocked our justice system for the past 30 years.
