Ending the historic injustice of IPPs has been announced by the Prime Minister. A huge moment for IPP families and campaigners. Without all their hard work and determination, we would not be in this position today. independent.co.uk/news/uk/cr…

You campaigners against IPP are crazy. I once knew an IPP prisoner who tried to make his pregnant girlfriend jump off a car park at knife‑point. I hope when he gets out he lives next door to you, or ends up in a relationship with your daughter.
