This is a monumental day for Yahyaa and all unreleased IPP prisoners. It’s a day of hope. Change is moving forward simultaneously today… in Parliament and at the High Court through Karen Todner's team. The system cannot ignore them any longer. Let them go. #EndIPP #habeascorpus

BREAKING: The PM has announced he will end the injustice of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentences this Parliament.   This a huge moment for IPP families and campaigners, I couldn’t be happier for them

The prime minister’s announcement for the end of IPP this morning coincides with the senior judge’s direction on the habeas corpus application on Tuesday 1 Sept. They know their hands are tied and they need to act before there’s a wave of forced legal releases! #EndIPP

To avoid any misinformation, I want to make it very clear that neither witness I have interviewed re the Chillenden murders case has ever asked for or been paid money. Its never even been suggested.
