YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLabour MP Jess Phillips told Iain Dale the government needs to do more to enforce rape laws more effectively.
Jess Phillips is Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and safeguarding and Labour MP for Birmingham Yardley and was speaking to Iain Dale about shocking statistics that show rape convictions have hit a record low.
"All sorts of issues that have been raised by a various number of judicial reviews," Ms Phillips began and felt that "changes in practice by the CPS" could be one of the reasons for a massive drop off in convictions.
The Labour MP said that Government should be "moving every muscle" to ensure that the decline is addressed and solved, as current statistics are "essentially making rape a crime that you can commit with impunity."
"It's certainly not good for justice."
