Justice secretary denies government is rushing in new anti-terror laws
Robert Buckland rejects claims tougher sentences politicise London Bridge attack
The justice secretary, Robert Buckland, has claimed the government is not politicising the death of the London Bridge terror attack victims by unveiling tougher prison sentences for the most serious offenders.
Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones were killed in November 2019 in an attack at Fishmongers’ Hall in central London by the Usman Khan, a convicted terrorist who had been released halfway through his jail sentence.
