Teen rapists face custody after appeal overturns ‘lenient’ sentence | BBC Newscast
Two teenage boys who raped girls in Hampshire have been given four years’ detention after the Court of Appeal changed their sentences. A third boy’s youth rehabilitation order was left unchanged.
The BBC UK correspondent Daniel Sandford was at the court and explains the reasoning behind the judges’ decision.
Plus, Morgan McSweeney, the elusive former chief of staff to Sir Keir Starmer has given his first ever media interview. He spoke to Political Thinking’s Nick Robinson about Labour’s lack of preparation for government and his response to allegations of a boys club in Number 10.
Nick joins Alex and James to unpack what we learned.
