Tool Theft - Are We Close To Reducing It?

Earlier this month, Amada Martin announced that Labour's new sentencing Bill 2025 would change how the courts view tool theft. This means that when sentencing thieves, courts will take into account the full impact of tool theft, including lost livelihoods, business disruption and mental health impacts. Additionally, sentences will supposedly be more brutal and heavily restrict the freedoms of those on community sentences. So today I wanted to discuss tool theft once again. I wanted to find out exactly what this means, when we’ll see it start having an impact and what the next steps will be in preventing tool theft. We were joined by Amanda Martin to get an insight into what this means and how it's progressing within parliament, and Steve Baker to hear what he thinks needs to be done.Plus, there's the pub lunch quiz, and you’ll hear all the best messages we received.Catch Clive On Fix Radio Monday - Thursday 12 PM - 3 PM Across The UK On DAB Radio And Online At https://www.fixradio.co.uk/
