C to B

McBroon is to upgrade cannabis to a Class B drug, rejecting advice from the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (his own crew) that it should remain in Class C.

We'll let you know when he gets all shouty, tough, stern and firm and actually makes it happen, instead of constantly saying he will.
