I am getting a lot of questions about tactical voting. The fact is that in the last PCC election in Thames Valley Labour was a strong second. The Lib Dems have never done better than 3rd. This is what The Stop The Tories site says.

Hits the nail on the head. Associating a lawyer with their client undermines the rule of law. But then every day the Tories show us that they don’t care about the rule of law.
Well I, for one, am glad the Tory barristers and solicitors in ministerial posts only represented *good* people - and never the bad - during their years in courts and tribunals.
Perhaps they could all confirm?
And - because they can’t confirm that - maybe they could speak up?

There’s no point talking tough on crime if you run the system so badly that you can’t actually send offenders to prison.
Senior Presiding Judge, Edis LJ, has asked judges to adjourn, from next week, the sentencing of offenders who are on bail where custody is likely to be imposed. The prison estate is full.

Labour’s position has been transformed since the last PCC election in 2021. My experience is that a lot of former Conservative voters are supporting my positive campaign. When Corbyn was leader people did rule out Labour as too left wing, I’m simply not finding that today.

Most weeks I am prosecuting rape trials. Often these cases involve one person’s word against another, with little other evidence. In those circumstances, the jury will need to be sure that what the complainant is saying is truthful and reliable.

Important observations about how anti-social behaviour can make the victim’s life hell and needs to be taken seriously.
