On issues like yesterday's debate on the early release of prisoners, it is vital we put party politics aside for the greater good

Today, I asked the government how allowing the early release of dangerous sexual predators and members of grooming gangs fits with our manifesto commitment to halve violence against women and girls.

Today the Labour government has repealed the Vagrancy Act. For over 200 years this act has criminalised those who are homeless, with the act being used over 400 times in the last two years. There's still lots to do but I'm delighted that this step has been taken.
