Tree pair shouldn't be jailed, ex-MP tells podcast
The Journal
|May 26, 2025
THE host of one of the UK’s most popular podcasts has argued the two men who felled the iconic Sycamore Gap tree in Northumberland should not be jailed due to overcrowding in prisons.
-
Rory Stewart, who served as the Conservative MP of the neighbouring Penrith and the Borders constituency from 2010 until 2019, branded the crime “horrible” but claimed prison sentences should be reserved for violent criminals.
Government figures released last month showed that there were fewer than 1,000 spare prison cells across England and Wales, with jails sitting at 98.89% full.
