Labour say they’re getting the asylum backlog down. But they’re saying yes to people who shouldn’t be in our country. And the immigration courts are overwhelmed by appeals. We would scrap these courts - and make fast, FINAL decisions overseen by ministers - not judges.

The police say they want to arrest thugs who chant “globalise the intifada”. It’s a call to murder British Jews. But the CPS won’t commit to prosecutions. So why won’t Lammy change the law?

Harrowing interview this morning on Laura K with one of the rape victims. I hope and believe the outcry will make a difference to the sentence in this case. No other family should go through the trauma of a rape trial only to see the assailant let off, but more families will if we let the Gvt’s changes to sentencing for young men go ahead. @NJ_Timothy is doing brilliant work to stop this. The Gvt must listen.

Afghans are more than TWENTY times more likely to commit sex crimes than Brits. Crimes that were once rare horrors are now regular stories. Ministers deny it - but the whole country can see what's going on. My message to David Lammy: stop the cover-up, sort it out.

Labour have chosen. To keep dangerous young thugs out of prison. To let 60,000 criminals out early. And to abolish short-term sentences altogether. They cannot be trusted to keep us safe.

I have been sickened all day by the news of three boys who lured two schoolgirls, raped them, and filmed it on their phones while they laughed and egged each other on. When they finally stood before a judge this week, they were handed “rehabilitation orders” and walked out without serving a single day behind bars. Not in prison, not in custody or a young offender institution. The judge said, “None of you need to go to prison”. What message does that send to rapists? The crime could hardly be graver, yet the punishment was no punishment at all. It’s the collapse of consequences and the rot runs right through the justice system. And this is only going to get worse because Labour are choosing to go soft on criminals: ❌ They have abolished short prison sentences. ❌ They have let tens of thousands of criminals out early. ❌ And now they want to raise the age of criminal responsibility, so that even MORE young offenders escape any consequence at all. My position is common sense👇 PRISON WORKS. ✅It punishes those who do wrong, it keeps dangerous people off our streets and away from our children. ✅It tells every victim that the law is on their side. A country that forgets this is a country where schoolgirls are raped and filmed for sport, and the boys who did it get to go home. Conservatives stand against it and our policies on sentencing and prison are the ones that will deliver a stronger country.

Labour are sending far fewer knife criminals to prison. That is an ideological choice. And the result? Knife possession is at a record high. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/2…

He’s not stopping there. He wants to introduce Scottish-style sentencing to treat under 25s like children. This has already seen rapists and murderers in Scotland avoid prison or get lighter sentences because of their age and identity.

His review wants to give special treatment to criminals because of their identity. The teenagers involved in this case were from the traveller community. Criminals like them would ALWAYS get soft sentences if Lammy has his way.

Three teenagers escaped prison after gang-raping two schoolgirls. The country is shocked and disgusted. But it is explicit government policy to send fewer criminals under eighteen to prison. I’ve written to David Lammy demanding he changes course.

Our justice system is far too soft. And Labour are making it worse - deliberately keeping thugs like this out of prison. Prison works - and we need a government that is prepared to use it. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

My brother and I have been going to see the Villa since we were kids. But we had never seen us win a European final before! #avfc

Prison works because it punishes and deters, and because it incapacitates. Thugs behind bars cannot hurt innocent people on the streets. But instead of putting young thugs behind bars, Labour want to send them on a course. They cannot be trusted to keep us safe.

So Labour are planning to send even fewer knife criminals to prison in future. When I challenged David Lammy about this on Tuesday, he couldn't deny it. Because he knows it's true. x.com/NJ_Timothy/sta…

The truth about knife crime is out. New figures show: ⬆️Knife crime is up ⬆️Knife possession is at record levels ⬆️Threats made with knives are at record levels But Labour are sending fewer knife criminals to prison - and want to go even softer. 🧵
