Why hasn’t Ofcom taken this down? They met with victims of Tattle Life in September and were warned then about the horrendous illegal content on this website in front of MPs. I was there. Now a young girl has taken her own life.

This is a make or break moment and the public will not forgive us if we make the wrong choice and turn in on ourselves.
Instead, we need to continue our focus on turning around 14 years of chaos and austerity.

Today’s Prison Capacity Statement reveals the truth.
Without Labour’s prison building and sentencing reforms, our law and order system would be in crisis. Criminals left to roam the streets. Victims abandoned.
