    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?

    Skidmark Starmer is regularly used as a floor rag. The EU can’t wait for him!

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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 🤔)
