Media reporting that victims are upset at perpetrators early release; well of course they are. But how about some actual journalism asking difficult questions of those MPs who were responsible for destroying our justice/prison system?? #R4Today

London's homicide rate hit its lowest level since records began. Yet 40% of the public thought that murders had risen since 2019. That’s the danger of disinformation. We cannot accept it, and to defeat it, we’ve got to put pressure on the social media companies who profit from it.
