Should knife carriers be automatically jailed?

Graham Stewart takes your calls on the opposition parties' calls for mandatory sentencing.

Scottish Labour is introducing plans for six-month sentences; the Tories say it should be two years, while the Scottish Government reckons the existing laws are adequate.

Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
