Labour seems to be getting attacked daily by the Media, so I thought I'd draw your attention to the #FullFact Government tracker.

Yesterday, I asked the Minister if he will look at reviewing excessive sentences for peaceful protestors - and I welcome his commitment to doing so.

The right to protest is a cornerstone of our democracy. We must continue to protect it.
