Tories released 10,000 prisoners early, source Financial Times. Did you complain about that?

Bet you did though, if they reoffended. Anyway this has been done without thought or planning, just a knee jerk reaction to a few riots, nothing as big as the last ones though.

Just watched a very angry Richard Madely and Susanna Reid interview Shabana Mahmood , who apparently believes early release is allowed on the offences committed, not on the offender. She was not aware of the protest by Elizabeth Hudson, whose ex-husband is one to be released early. His offences, holding a knife to her throat and threatening violence, subjected to a restraining order,don't qualify as being serious enough to remain in prison, as Ms Mahmmod smilingly said, but she will go back to the office and 'find out.' Jolly good.
Why has this prison release scheme been authorised so quickly when a launch of a six month review is only being launched today?

Another, like Lammy who has been given a role way above her capabilities. Jobs for the boys eh.

Many released in September committed a crime, arrested,
charged appeared in court and found guilty by October? No

Great! What is Starmer thinking of?

1700 were released in September too and many went on to reoffend. Some were released wrongly!
