Surely this is common sense… Earlier this year, I was successful in my campaign to increase the ridiculously short sentences handed down to three vile grooming gang members in our area. I did this by referring their sentences to the Attorney General via the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) Scheme. Shockingly, many victims and families are not even told about the ULS scheme and that they can challenge sentences that are obviously too lenient. That is why in Parliament, I am campaigning for a new mandatory duty so that victims and their families are always informed about the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. I look forward to meeting with the Solicitor General to take this campaign forward.

'You want to give 16-year-olds the vote, but you're saying a 23-year-old was too immature to fully understand what he was doing?' Alicia Kearns MP challenges the government's logic on an asylum seeker's rape of a 12-year-old girl, adding there is an 'epidemic of misogyny'.

Giving 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote is an attempt to rig the political system. If this goes ahead, Labour could be in for a shock.

Who is this vile woman? She doesn’t want to call a man who raped a 12 year old child a “child rapist” because she thinks “that’s a bit strong” Moves on to victim blaming saying she knows “sassy” 12 year olds. Calls a 19 year old man raping a CHILD a “mistake” and an “inappropriate holiday romance”. NO. He flew to the UK, groomed a 12 year old, raped her, was jailed for being a CHILD RAPIST and now he’s representing his country in the Satanic Olympics. Guess who can’t represent their country in the Satanic Olympics? Paedophiles who get the death sentence. Time to bring back the rope.

Dear Labour, 16 years olds don’t need the vote. They need adults to do their duty and act in their best interests, rather than putting ballot papers in their hands and telling them they’re “bright enough” to do it themselves. Despite what Starmer wants you believe, 16 year olds do not (and should not) bear the same responsibilities as adults: • A 16 year old can drink with a meal in a pub or restaurant, but only if the alcohol is purchased by someone over 18. • A 16 year old can get married, but only with their parents’ consent. • A 16 year old is considered to lack the necessary capacity so cannot enter into legal contracts, except in very limited circumstances. • A 16 year old can join the military, but only with parental consent — is heavily criticised as we are also the only European country to allow minor enlistment. • Nearly all employed 16-17 year olds do not pay taxes — they must must earn more than £242 per week to pay National Insurance, so they would have to work at least 38 (£6.40 p/h) hours per week to meet the threshold They must also exceed £12.57K per year to pay income tax, which is incredibly unlikely. For the few that do — like child actors — there are also usually adults around them (eg. accountants, managers, parents) who support and represent their interests as they are usually not responsible enough to do it themselves. • Just because 16 year olds can have sex, that still doesn’t make them adults — the abundance of evidence on the sexual exploitation of 16-17 year olds demonstrates their vulnerability, while legislation extends to them the same child protective powers as with younger children. Why? Because they are children. No matter how smart or mature a 16 year old may seem, they are still a child, and it is a failure of our protective duty to burden them with adult responsibilities. To lower the voting age to 16 is to allow children to be considered ‘legal adults’ before they’re ready. I know first-hand the damage that can be caused by treating a child like an adult before their time. At 16, I was legally homeless and under social services. I worked three jobs to survive, sofa-surfed through my A-Levels, showered at school, and survived off the kindness of friends and teachers. When Votes at 16 activists talk about the teenagers to whom ‘adult responsibilities’ apply and should be given a vote, they are describing my life. But where they believe lowering the voting age gives ‘a seat at the table’, all I see is a mechanism by which adults and services will be able to shirk their protective duties to vulnerable kids. I remember being told so often by my social workers that I was “smart enough” to do things on my own. The fact that I was “bright” and “mature” was weaponised against me to force me to take on burdens that I neither wanted nor was ready for. I will never forget sitting in ‘Multi Agency Meetings’ sobbing for someone to help me. I will never forget being told that it was “my actions that led me to where I was”. I will never forget my local council, social workers, and other professionals using legal loopholes to shirk their duties towards that vulnerable 16 year old child. 16 and 17 year olds like me – the ones that campaigners point to as the ‘model example’ of young people who should be allowed to vote – don’t need a vote to be “empowered”. It isn’t empowering to expect children to act like adults, and it does far more damage than good to force teenagers further into a legal grey area. Parliamentary decisions do affect young people. However, it is the job of the legislature to make decisions for the people, and it is the duty of adults to make decisions in the best interests of children. It is a failure of our protective duty to burden children with adult duties because they’re “smart enough to handle it”. If the only way you can win the next election is by putting ballot papers shouldn’t be put in the hands of babes, then you shouldn’t be in government.

Listen to Baroness Lloyd of Effra (Labour’s Minister for Digital Economy) struggling to find the words, trying to justify the government’s social media ban and power grip on young people and families. This government wants to give 16-year-olds the right to vote. Fair enough. But at the same time it pushes the ban for under-16s enforced by digital ID. They want to reserve the right for the government to decide what is “reliable” news, where and how it is consumed - depriving young people of the chance to discuss, decide and make up their own minds. Orwell told us, this is indoctrination and that is unworthy of any democracy.

JUST IN: Donald Trump says he is ready to go to jail and won’t ask the judge to keep him out. “I'm okay with it.” That’s great Donald, we’re ok with it too! As an attorney, I can tell you why these comments are significant: Typically before sentencing, the judge will allow Trump to say why he deserves a lighter sentence and offer remorse to the court. If Trump is poised not to ask for a lenient sentence, Merchan could be motivated to sentence him to a greater sentence. “I said, don't, you don't beg for anything. It’s just the way it is,” Trump said. I’m ready for Trump to go to jail. How about you?

Salman Iftikar was sentenced to only 15 months in prison for threatening an air stewardess with gang rape and for racially aggravated harassment. He has multiple previous convictions. Yet Lucy Connolly got 31 months for a far less serious offence. This is two tier justice in action. I have today referred the case to the Attorney General Lord Hermer for review under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme We’ll now find out who’s side the Government is really on
