In my role as a Law Officer for England & Wales, I - along with the Attorney General - can review Crown Court sentences upon request. If the Law Officers agree that a sentence appears to be unduly lenient, we can refer it to the Court of Appeal for the Court’s review. (1/2).

Social media ads about small boat crossings & fake jobs are used by smuggling gangs to lure people in. Under new @UKLabour Govt rules, facilitating illegal immigration with these ads = jail time. Another sensible, practical step to secure our borders👇.

The offence of promoting illegal crossings online would carry a sentence of up to five years in prison.

Van-Pooss’ crimes were sickening. He sexually assaulted & and then murdered lone dog walker Claire Knights in a random attack, before hiding her body. I welcome the Court of Appeal’s increase to his sentence following my referral 👇.

Harrison Lawrence Van-Pooss will now spend a minimum of 31 years in prison, up from 25 and a half.
