📅 Worth pointing out, for context:
💰The MoJ cut the prison budget between 2010 and 2015 by nearly £1bn
⚖️The #ProtectTheProtectors law makes no practical difference (see inews.co.uk/opinion/commen…)
⬇️Even with the new recruits, there are 15% fewer prison officers than in 2010.

I could go on. As with all MoJ announcements this year, the “achievements” do not begin to undo the damage wreaked over the past decade. The MoJ is the arsonist who having burned down your home boastfully tweets about the wonderful tent they’ve generously given you.
