the tweet start out ok -
1st sentence. incontrovertible
2nd sentence. incontrovertible
3rd sentence. total bluster but ok, whatever.
the piece goes, well, to pieces with the graphic:-

//The shadow attorney general insisted the prime minister was responsible for a "broken justice system".//
As the shadow Attorney-General, Ms Thornberry should be aware of the independence of the judiciary and of the Sentencing Council. The government can set maximum sentences but it should not seek to set minimum sentences, or types of sentences for offences where a wide range of factors must be considered.
// // Under the Tories, 4,500 adults convicted of sexually assaulting children under 16 served no prison time. // ?
It is not for a Tory government or one of any other persuasion to interfere in judicial decisions. The law allows for non-custodial sentences to be imposed for a wide range of offences and there is a perfectly robust appeal system open to both defendants and The Crown to challenge judicial decisions.
If Ms Thornberry is suggesting the law is wrong she is in a good position to lobby the appropriate people to introduce a bill in Parliament to change it. But I somehow have it in mind that is not what she is suggesting at all.
