The former Conservative Justice Secretary David Gauke, Labour's Police & Crime Commissioner for Northumbria Kim McGuinness, and former Metropolitan Police superintendent Dr Leroy Logan join Sam and Ayesha to try to work out how to revive our struggling justice system. The UK has some of the most crowded prisons in Europe, a chronic backlog of criminal cases, and police forces marred by scandal. So what would a new government need to do?The Power Test is a political podcast that asks if it really is all over for the Tories, and what Labour should do to win and change Britain for the better. With the help of invited guests, each week Sam Freedman and Ayesha Hazarika bring the biggest and most difficult political issues into focus and put fresh ideas to the test to see if they are capable of winning popular support and delivering real change in government.Follow @ThePowerTest on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThePowerTestFollow @AyeshaHazarika: https://twitter.com/ayeshahazarikaFollow @SamFreedman: https://twitter.com/SamfrSubscribe to The Power Test substack for all the latest developments: https://thepowertest.substack.com/ Hosted on Acast.
