Robert Jenrick on the 'nonsense' two tier justice system

The “two-tier” justice row has reared its ugly head again, as it emerges judges and magistrates are being told to prioritise bail for ethnic minorities as they are at higher risk of being remanded into custody.It comes after the Sentencing Council refused a request from Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood for it to rethink other new instructions, which come into effect from tomorrow, that require judges to consider an offender's background before deciding to impose a custodial sentence.Kamal and Camilla speak to shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick about the ongoing ‘two tier” justice row, as well Prime Minister Keir Starmer trumpeting his government having deported 24,000 illegal immigrants.They also speak to The Telegraph’s Paris Correspondent, Henry Samuel, after Marine Le Pen was found guilty of embezzlement and banned from running for public office for five years, meaning she would not be able to run in the 2027 French presidential election. They ask what the future looks like for Le Pen and whether her National Rally protege Jordan Bardella is the right person to take the battle to Emmanuel Macron.Producers: Georgia Coan, Lilian Fawcett and Will LewisSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeVideo Editor: Andy MackenzieStudio Director: James EnglandEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.
