Why did Huw Edwards avoid prison?

Is this evidence of “two-tier justice”?

Let’s take a quick look. 🧵

TLDR: This is an entirely expected sentence for offences of this type.

@AXS_UK hi, I have tickets for Taylor Swift in Edinburgh and I'm now on crutches so I think I need an accessible ticket. Can you help please? Thanks

Johanita’s senseless killing shocked us all. I still remember the pain from her mother as I embraced &prayed with her in the aftermath of the stabbing. No parent should have to bury their child in such circumstances.
May her soul continue to rest in peace. https://t.co/vSfBv82mIm

I remember something very similar when I applied for student finance. It still makes me laugh when I enter 'triangle' as my favourite musical instrument

Not impressed by first raft of security qus on https://t.co/Maigf03cbc
All except one of these qus imply or indicate some kind of privilege (higher education, class, wealth). This really isn't good enough for a universal form on a universally used website.

Birbalsingh to step down from Social Mobility Commission. It’s well-written and interesting statement.
And likely the right call. Being a blunt provocateur rarely sits well with this kind of office.
