Excellent, some of the good ones left in Labour are making a fuss too

38mago 14.30 8ST
In the Commons the Labour MP Nadia Whittome said she was alarmed by
the implication that, if the Sentencing Council guidelines are withdrawn,
judges would not be advised to get pre-sentence reports before sentencing
pregnant women.
Mahmood said the bill would not affect policy relating to pregnant offenders,
because there is already court of appeal precedent saying pre-sentence
reports should be obtained before pregnant women are sentenced.

Diane Abbott says government should not be interfering with
independence of Sentencing Council
Diane Abbott, the Labour MP and a former shadow home secretary, told
Mahmood she did not know why she was so “triumphant” about introducing
legislation to interfere with the independence of the Sentencing Council. She
said there have been many reports saying black and brown people are treated
unfairly by the courts, and she said the judiciary was independent for a good
Reason.
"There is a reason why the Sentencing Council is independent. It was made a
statutory independent body to avoid even the appearance of ministerial
interfering in sentencing. This is not the United States. Our political system, our
judicial system, are entirely separate."
