Keir Starmer

I think it's a really distressing case.

I think it's distressing for everybody to see, to hear about,

The courage, frankly, of the girls to come forward is humbling, but it is distressing.

I find it distressing as a politician.

I find it distressing as a father.

And there are questions about the sentence.

The Attorney General has power to refer a case to the Court of Appeal if the Attorney General thinks that the sentence is too lenient.

The Attorney General has now exercised that power

So I can announce that that case now will go to the Court of Appeal and the Court of Appeal will now review the sentence in that case.

And that is clearly the right outcome.

Keir Starmer has defied his critics and told them he's going nowhere.

Is that stubbornness or is it bravery?

Where's Streeting is being asked for comment.

Where's Streeting has said nothing for days.

So is West Streeting at the centre of whatever movement is currently going on?

And is the Prime Minister waiting for him to challenge?

It's Maitlis.

Look, I think the Jess Phillips letter changes this conversation and this whole scenario more than possibly anything else in the last 24 hours.

And we'll come on to analysing a little bit more what she says and the force of her words.

But just to go back to that moment, really, that I think surprised many in Keir Starmer's own party and cabinet today.
