It’s scandalous for killer dads to retain control over kids they robbed of their mums – Rishi Sunak must back Jade’s Law
Justice, PM
IT is scandalously and blatantly unjust for killer fathers to retain any control over children they robbed of their mums.
So we are proud today to launch our Jade’s Law campaign in memory of Jade Ward, murdered by her estranged partner Russell Marsh.
Even behind bars Marsh still wields power over their kids.
He can stall on their passport applications, preventing them travelling abroad.
He can demand school reports and medical records.

IT’S always been hard to work out why Remainers hold the EU aloft as a prosperous liberal paradise.
It is none of those things.
But then we should never be surprised by their intellectual contortions.
These people blame Brexit if it rains.
So naturally it’s at fault for our lacklustre 0.1 per cent growth in the first quarter.
And for our stubbornly high inflation, especially if you believe Remain-obsessed bankers who overlook the actual causes, Covid and war.
But the europhiles fall strangely silent when Germany, the EU’s coal-powered engine room, falls into recession, unlike the UK.
Or when its unemployment climbs in June and its inflation leaps 0.5 per cent.
