Great story by @SammyGecsoyler
‘Indefensible’: UK prisoner jailed for 23 months killed himself after being held for 17 years Coroner condemns ‘inhumane’ imprisonment for public protection sentences that have no end date for release This is such a powerful story by @shanti_das theguardian.com/law/2024/apr/2…
David Blunkett, who introduced the horrific indeterminate IPP '99-year' sentence as home secretary, tells me it's his biggest regret theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
Fantastic investigative piece by @will_coldwell in @prospect_uk on the horrific manslaughter conviction of Ibrahima Bah

This is obscene. 'Post officer operator Martin Griffiths attempted suicide in 2013 and died in hospital weeks later. 'The Post Office offered his widow, Gina Griffiths, £140,000 in a settlement and insisted she sign a non-disclosure agreement.' theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
@shattenstone @DPJHodges Timely. Had a letter from Moorcroft debt collectors chasing £150 already payed. This has happened 3times in the last 2 years More worringly had a text from them this morning. Are @HMRCgovuk @HMRCcustomers allowed to share my phone number with a third party?
Three weeks after my mum died, HMRC sent in the debt collectors to hound me for paye tax that I'd paid for her carers two months earlier. I'm sure others have experienced similar things theguardian.com/money/2024/apr…
This is about Tommy Nichol, a prisoner who took his life after saying he couldn't cope with the 'psychological torture' of a 99-year-sentence. It's the first in a series, and it feels weird writing it without teaming up with the much missed Eric Allison theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
Wooooooooo! Labour makes genuinely positive pledge theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
If you read one thing today, make it this Thousands of people are being held on indefinite prison sentences in the UK, their mental health deteriorates, and this is used as a reason not to release them. @UNGRIPP are an amazing organisation (and read PROOF/ @JusticeGap for more)

Sadly, Nicol's story is a familiar one to those serving IPP sentences. We highly recommend making time to read @shattenstone's piece: theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
@Trapped_Pod @shattenstone 1% of those who have been freed from IPPs have committed a serious offence. 83 out of 8300. More than that, 90 of those on IPP have tragically taken their own lives.
@TheHowardLeague @shattenstone @UNGRIPP When will this horror end ipp has killed so many ipp prisoners and it has allso killed many of their families with broken hearts waiting and waiting for them to get a date to come home end ipp sentence end this death sentence
@AlexChalkChelt @Keir_Starmer @RishiSunak Licence changes are great but more needs to be done so those in prison are not forgotten
@AlexChalkChelt @Keir_Starmer @RishiSunak Licence changes are great but more needs to be done so those in prison are not forgotten
The gut wrenching tragedy & horror of the IPP sentence laid bare in this superb & heartbreaking article by @shattenstone Please read it, RT & support the @UNGRIPP & @ActionIpp campaign for resentencing @UKLabour @KevinBrennanMP @ShabanaMahmood theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
@shattenstone @PeterStefanovi2 Far too many people qre given prison sentences instead of their MH being addressed. It's time for it to stop. Also prison should be for the most serious of offenders so they're not overcrowded
#justiceforipps So many have killed themselves since Tommy took his own life. Wake up @AlexChalkChelt
#justiceforipps So many have killed themselves since Tommy took his own life. Wake up @AlexChalkChelt
@TheHowardLeague @shattenstone @UNGRIPP I read the piece this morning & it was heartbreaking. How can a govt accept that IPPs are an inhumane sentence & do away with them, but keep prisoners already in prison on an IPP? It’s utterly shameful.
If you read one thing today, please make it this devastating piece by @shattenstone on the terrible, terrible cost still inflicted by the IPP sentence… theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
@shattenstone @UNGRIPP A heartbreaking read. I was already familiar with IPP sentences but the amount of suicides and deaths is staggering. Resentencing, with automatic sign up to the rehab courses has to happen. Can’t the current prisoners bring a class action of sorts under the Human Rights Act?

i always looked forward to The Empty Doorway by @shattenstone - vivid and moving. good to see him turn his pen to the massive injustice that is IPP theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
@shattenstone @prospect_uk Thanks so much for sharing Simon 🙏
@shattenstone Strikes me that Starmer and Co are falling in to the same trap of wanting to appear "tough" on policy areas that they feel the public don't trust them on - crime and the economy and defence - be great if they had learnt a lesson from this.
@shattenstone My experience was months after Dad died, so just frustrating, pointless and time-consuming, but yours must have felt so much worse in the immediate weeks after your loss. So sorry for your loss, and for this heartless action from HMRC.
“I can’t understand what’s happening in England…but I leave everything in the hands of God.” For @prospect_uk I’ve been following the case of Ibrahima Bah, a young asylum seeker convicted of manslaughter following a tragedy in the English Channel prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/polic…
@shattenstone @HMRCVictim Oh my, that's terrible. I'm so sorry for your loss.
@shattenstone National/local gov,privatised utilities, financial institutions all w/debt collection depts as tails wagging the dogs - out-of-control insolvency industry headed by out-of-control & corrupt Insolvency Service. Post Office scandal = Debt Collection scandal bit.ly/3Jp4wUJ
My sincere sympathies, unfortunately this happens all the time with PAYE payments…HMRC constantly allocate to the wrong period & then pursue for an outstanding liability, even when overall the balance is zero on the account. It happens even when the correct period reference has…
Three weeks after my mum died, HMRC sent in the debt collectors to hound me for paye tax that I'd paid for her carers two months earlier. I'm sure others have experienced similar things theguardian.com/money/2024/apr…
@shattenstone I got a penalty notice for missing deadline to submit late father's tax return. After >1hr in HMRC phone queue, eventually told it WAS received (and logged) 10 days before deadline, but not processed due to backlog, so penalty notice gets sent automatically!
‘HMRC harassed me for money I had paid weeks earlier’ - @shattenstone’s story of being chased for a debt even though he’d handed over the cash theguardian.com/money/2024/apr…
@shattenstone @DPJHodges Timely. Had a letter from Moorcroft debt collectors chasing £150 already payed. This has happened 3times in the last 2 years More worringly had a text from them this morning. Are @HMRCgovuk @HMRCcustomers allowed to share my phone number with a third party?
@shattenstone Good grief. Or maybe bad grief. It’s the last thing you want at any time, as your other interviewees attest; but whilst grieving… x
@shattenstone I'm going through it myself providing for my elderly parents who need care 24/7.
This is a scandal that needs to be dealt with urgently. Lack of support for families providing care is a disgrace.
Three weeks after my mum died, HMRC sent in the debt collectors to hound me for paye tax that I'd paid for her carers two months earlier. I'm sure others have experienced similar things theguardian.com/money/2024/apr…
@shattenstone That is unbearable, very sorry to hear about your mum. I still shudder at the memory of sorting out my father’s tax. In the fog of grief, the very last thing you want. The term “sadmin” doesn’t really reflect the awfulness. Actually, I recall deactivating Netflix was the worst.
@shattenstone Such a powerful piece, Simon. Eric would be beyond proud to work with you, as he always was.
@shattenstone Amazing article Our Simon. Very hard to read that story and not cry. You’ve got incontrovertible facts in there and heartbreaking story about an issue that so few people could be bothered with. Nice one xxx
