Independence UK style:
The Sentencing Council's guidelines on pre-sentencing reports have been derided as 'two-tier' guidance despite an extensive consultation process.
But, Shabana Mahmoud now says she will 'legislate if necessary' to stop such a change, by which she means if she doesn't get what she wants she'll change the law.
So much for the 'independence' of the Judiciary, then... although such political actions are hardly unprecedented!
