‘This is about the rule of law being dismantled before our eyes so that some people can look tough.’
This week, Grace talks to Shami Chakrabarti – barrister, human rights campaigner, and former Shadow Attorney General under Jeremy Corbyn.
They discuss the Conservatives’ sharp turn towards authoritarianism with the introduction of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, the Overseas Operations Bill, and the Spy Cops Bill, as well as police and criminal justice reform.
