Starmer quotes a recent report that states that domestic abusers are among the inmates eligible for the early release scheme, with Sunak saying there is a 'governor's lock', which would prevent dangerous criminals being allowed back onto the streets. At the start of May the prison population in England and Wales was 87,505, with the official usable capacity put at 88,895. Capacity has increased by 3,000 places in a year, but still cannot keep up with demand

It's a scary thought that rapists, murderers, domestic abusers etc may be released early. Where will they be housed? Will it be a case of: "coming to a neighbourhood near you soon!"
Release people who've been jailed for not paying TV license fees, parking fines etc!!
💯
No one gets jailed for not paying a tv licence.
I’m not aware of anyone going to jail for parking fines either, they are mostly civil offences these days, aren’t they?
New prisons Richie???🤔🤔 and the 20,000 new invisible police😂
More tory lies the guys does it naturally!!
Sunak fails to impress ......again .
And Starmer should remember the Rochdale gangs when he was Director of Prosecutions…enough said.
Skidmark Starmer is regularly used as a floor rag. The EU can’t wait for him!
I was half expecting Starmer to invite him over.
And vice versa.
Should be asking the same about the people coming here in boats in their thousands.Are they rapists or murderers.
Also, I'm not from this country and came in 2019. Mark my words, UK has distributed so many visas recently after covid in disguise of care workers and skilled workers that you can imagine. These people paid for visas and not even skilled or care professionals and just landed in UK to make money. In 3 to 4 years, you'll see the repercussions of this when the effect of this become more clear.
Does anyone believe anything The Guardian says or promotes ?
I know! As for the Daily Mail lol 😂
Desperation to free up prison space ..🤦🏾♀️
I was a custody officer I bet Sunak has never been in a fight in his life!!
You'd think the _"prison doesn't work"_ Guardian would be pleased with these proposals...
Maybe stop throwing people in prison for drug offences and we would have more space.
Maybe if we focused on rehabilitation instead of punishment we could match norways system.
Or Portugal's!!! They dropped drug rate by 50% in 14 years
It's insulting to honest people and a danger to our families
Kier Starmer kier hardie?
What Starmer should have been doing is questioning why the government is still allowing arms and money to be sent to Israel after the fifth mass grave has been uncovered in Rafah hospital.
Starmer is rubbish
Of course STARMER is rubbish.... the conservatives have had 14 yes 14 YEARS to perfect their BILE AND other 💩💩 to throw at any other party regardless of being right or wrong... apparently I've been told it's called "POLITICS" ( WE LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY DON'T WE 🤔)
John venables will be out soon then .watch all of our kids guys.
Nice acting guys. Neither of these 2 parties care.
Laundering all the money that would easily sort out all our country's problem, to themselves.
