    Interesting that when his own government attempted to legislate on this point a few weeks ago, it isn’t what they proposed http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2019/9780111190524/contents …https://twitter.com/skynews/status/1200767493129850880…

    Also, is it true that he has "argued that when people are sentenced to a certain number of years in prison, they should serve every year of that sentence"?

    Just wondering why he didn't legislate as hard as his rhetoric (I do in fact know why, it would cost too much to build many new prisons)

    Yes. My question is whether he's telling the truth there, in claiming that he had argued it should happen (even in principle).

    I didn’t challenge the truth of his statement, I queried why, given he laid legislation only a few weeks ago, he didn’t go ahead and do it.

    Yes, and I'm grateful that you made what seems to me an important point. I was just wondering whether that claim was true.
