Jenrick: Two-tier sentencing is unfair against white men
Robert Jenrick says the justice secretary's decision to override independent guidance on how ethnic minorities should be sentenced is "unfair" and "discriminatory".
The shadow justice secretary adds, "she has failed totally in her duty to uphold the rule of law".
He adds "two-tier sentencing" is "biased" against men, white people and Christians.
