The ongoing conflict between Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary, and Shabana Mahmood, the justice secretary, has escalated due to new sentencing guidelines from the Sentencing Council. In an interview, Helena Kennedy suggested that both politicians exemplify 'Trumpism' in their handling of these policies. Jenrick questioned the fairness of these guidelines, which necessitate pre-sentence reports for specific offenders, implying a two-tier justice system. Mahmood, asserting her position, declared her commitment to equality before the law, highlighting the implications of such allegations in a politically charged atmosphere.
Jenrick's accusation centers on the newly published Sentencing Council guidelines that introduce a necessity for pre-sentence reports in specific offender categories.
Helena Kennedy suggested that the accusation of 'Trumpism' also applies to Shabana Mahmood, further complicating the political debate surrounding justice reforms.
