This move is pure Labour obfuscation.
Last week, I met with more rape gang survivors. Brave and determined, they’re deeply sceptical of Labour. One said to me Labour “lied to the country”.
So I will force a vote on a full statutory inquiry. Every MP can show whose side they’re on.
The sentencing council had until 5pm to respond to my legal challenge or face an injunction.
I was advised we had a strong chance of winning.
They have folded under the pressure.
THANK YOU to everyone who supported our campaign to save equality before the law.
