In my role as a Law Officer for England & Wales, I - along with the Attorney General - can review Crown Court sentences upon request. If the Law Officers agree that a sentence appears to be unduly lenient, we can refer it to the Court of Appeal for the Court’s review. (1/2)

Van-Pooss’ crimes were sickening. He sexually assaulted & and then murdered lone dog walker Claire Knights in a random attack, before hiding her body. I welcome the Court of Appeal’s increase to his sentence following my referral 👇 bbc.com/news/articles/…

The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting. The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance. This humanitarian catastrophe must end.

Very positive meeting with Solicitor General @LucyRigby this morning, discussing the findings of my Victim Attrition Review and progress made with the Victims Right to Review scheme. We also discussed public understanding of sentencing and increased access to the ULS Scheme.

Reform have no idea. Labour will reform the water sector to halve the levels of pollution in our waterways by 2030.

Speaking to residents on & around Junction Road this eve with Cllr Farzana Aldridge & this top team 🙌 As always, grateful to everyone who took the time to chat to us about views, issues & concerns #Northampton

This week I visited the National Crime Agency @NCA_UK to hear first-hand how their cutting-edge capabilities are tackling the most serious & complex criminal threats our country faces 🇬🇧👇

Very good to see the @UKSFO using all the tools at their disposal to tackle serious economic crime with this 1st grant of a crypto freezing order👇
