Neil Gray: “We must stand against racism, hatred and intimidation and those who would seek to divide our communities.”

But I don’t underestimate the challenge here in doing so.

Both the Culture Secretary and I have previously written to the UK Government, making it clear that such a significant event should not be placed behind a paywall.

However, we must also have capacity there in the prison system to ensure that we are still capable of incarcerating those who pose the most significant risk to society.

I won’t apologise for the fact that average sentences have increased. I think that is right that we have sentences matching the seriousness of criminality that we have faced.
