What is this bullshit?!
"Encouraging the use of cumulative sentencing for offences committed while on bail, in custody, or on parole."
And reduced sentences for early guilty pleas?
The removal of reference to ToW.
We're trying to incarcerate people as quickly and as long possible

This is absolutely disturbing and should be fought against every step of the way. It’s disgusting - how can we allow some people to profit over someone’s incarceration?? Filthy disgusting fools this lot

They campaigned on it but is there any evidence that the majority of the people want tougher sentences? No: it's just "obvious". "It's not for us to make it up, it's obvious to everybody and they want a better response."
