Rishi Sunak said criminals should be shown no mercy and it was a scorching own goal – 17 funniest and totally on-point responses
Rishi Sunak emerged from 48 hours or so of hiding after his early D-Day exit to unveil his party’s big new election campaign idea.

If you’re a criminal, the law should show you no mercy.

Well, actually, a little bit of understanding and compassion might actually help many criminals from reoffending, but anyway.

If you’re a criminal, @RishiSunak and his pals have made it as easy as possible for you by slashing police numbers, cutting prosecutors, selling off courts, creating record backlogs, forcing victims to wait *years* for a trial and making the prisons too full to take any more. https://t.co/rrJUwDxETd

If you’re a “petty” criminal, under the Tories the law will show you no mercy. If you’re a Tory donor or crony, we’ll give you a peerage. https://t.co/Gu3Kpwdyos
