Following yesterday's @tortoise investigation into the case of Emanuel Gomes, a cleaner at the Ministry of Justice, David Lammy MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Justice, has called for an investigation into the treatment of cleaners at the ministry.
“Don’t kick things into the long grass… just do it, get on with it, make it happen”.

Last week at a #TortoiseThinkIn, Lammy called on the Prime Minister and the government to get on with delivering recommendations to deal with racial inequality in Britain.

Comey goes to the Hill & testifies that the FBI nor outside contractors can crack the phone
