Worth remembering that on August 4, Andy Burnham said he couldn't possibly go any further on early release without the prison system collapsing.
Downing Street even said it was “not possible” to exempt “one or two offenders” convicted of manslaughter from early release.
A huge U-turn by the PM.
Worth pointing out that the foreign secretary who started the negotiations with Mauritius over the Chagos Islands in November 2022 was ... James Cleverly.
