Very glad to see Gareth Ward off the streets for a while and am glad for the small measure of peace of mind it will give his victims.
Don't understand this argument however
"Ward's lawyers argued his legal blindness and public fall from grace should mitigate his punishment."

This is beyond disgusting!! @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social is not supporting independent business owners or farmers, the building industry is almost stopped since he got into office. Now he’s forcing farmers to negotiate with dirty old fashioned fuel that obviously pays big bucks!!
