Labour accuses govt of ‘dragging its heels’ over sentencing

Sir Keir Starmer accuses the Government of "dragging its heels" over changing the law to compel criminals to attend their sentencing hearings. The Labour leader says, "I want to see action as quickly as possible in this case because victims' families have been through the most awful ordeal”. On Monday serial child killer Lucy Letby refused to attend her sentencing hearing, which has accelerated calls for a change in the law. Report by Blairm.
