Head of Howard League urges party to abandon ‘cheap politics’ of trying to outflank Tories and develop evidence-based position
The Labour party is indulging in cheap politics by repeatedly accusing the Tories of being soft on crime, the head of a leading prison reform charity has claimed.
Andrea Coomber QC, the chief executive of the Howard League, said the opposition is trying to outflank Boris Johnson’s government on law and order instead of developing evidence-based policies to solve a crisis within the criminal justice system.
