Lucy's story shames Starmer

UCY Connolly has been to hell and back.

- 

Apart from the crippling injustice of being jailed for a single tweet, she was manhandled in jail, and forced onto a prison wing known as “The Bronx” where the most violent inmates are held. She’s been battered and bruised. She has lived in terror of what might happen next because two prison officers told her they’d been warned by the “authorities” to “watch out for her because she could be violent”.

This about a woman who’s never had a fight in her life; has no convictions for anything; is the wife of a respected ex-Tory councillor; who has spent years grieving the tragic death of her 19-month-old baby thanks to a hospital cock-up - hence her devastation at the deaths of those Southport girls and her subsequent tweet.

But not content with jailing her, the State was determined to paint her as a thug who needed to be kept under control.
