A woman whose abusive ex-partner was jailed after attacking her says her 'recovery has been shattered' after the Ministry of Justice says he will be released early. Elizabeth Hudson tells Susanna Reid and Richard that it is 'unbelievably cruel'.

@susannareid100 Oh my good god. Who in earth does Madeley think he is? Not to mention GBeebie’s Pierce managing to have the last word and not being put right. Those people also broke the law not ‘just writing tweets’. No wonder we have such issues with misinformation never corrected

22 women in Iran’s Evin Prison are being subjected to sexual abuse during brutal body searches. Their open letter exposes the horrors: humiliation, assault, and dehumanization. They risk torture for speaking out. How much longer will the world ignore their screams? @IranIntl_En

@susannareid100 I thought domestic abusers weren’t being released early? This hopeless Labour government not only have blood on their hands with the death of Peter Lynch but also because most of those released early will be back inside within a week.

I think the missing piece of information from this report is the fact that all these problems were caused by the lack of investment and prison building by the tories in their 14 years of power and literally doubling the national debt making it nearly 2.69 trillion more than double in nominal terms when labour was last in power. We have seen virtually nothing for that money just more rich Tory supporters. I feel we are being played by the media

@susannareid100 Not a moments discussion on why these measures have been needed…14 years of defunding and destruction of our criminal justice system by the Tory govt. what a crap news channel

@susannareid100 A justice system that’s more interested in virtue signaling than protecting its citizens. No wonder people feel unsafe when the focus is on early releases over real justice. Time for a serious change in priorities.

@susannareid100 A reminder why the Tories were unfit to hold office when they sat back and stopped protecting communities by running down the criminal justice service. Stopped governing in the interest of the British people utter negligence.

@susannareid100 Labours answer - we have a problem. Now let’s create another one.

@susannareid100 And yet they lock up a grandfather for shouting who is now dead but they wouldn’t let him out our Disgusting government Justice system and Police are a disgrace to this country

@susannareid100 More evidence of the Labour governments gross incompetence.

@susannareid100 This country has gone to the dogs, we are led by absolute 🤡

@susannareid100 Madeley getting on his right wing saddle again

@susannareid100 Madeley and Reid were clearly salivating at the prospect of interviewing the Justice Secretary and getting that gotcha moment

@susannareid100 This minister is a joke

@susannareid100 The Minister is tying herself up in knots over the DA/DV early releases. It appears the law isn't being followed correctly. Why not start deporting the illegal & foreign nationals in prison. That would free up a high number of spaces too.

@susannareid100 I just hope that we don't hear that this lady and others have come to harm in the next few weeks.

@susannareid100 Elizabeth Hudson’s situation is heartbreaking. Early release for her abuser undermines her recovery and safety - it’s a decision that feels deeply unfair and insensitive. Probably not the only woman in fear of her safety due to this decision either!

@susannareid100 What an incredibly brave lady she was, as a man watching this, I cannot comprehend the horror this lady went through and because of the failings of this Government is still having to go through. At no point, is the decision making process right on any of this.

@susannareid100 Unfortunately it's a little late. The Tories stripped prisons of funding a decade ago, & the media barely said a word about it.

@susannareid100 Disgusting , I hope the Labour voters are proud of themselves

@susannareid100 Feel so sorry for Elizabeth and any other domestic abuse victims being put in this position because of our useless governments. Why have they not built new prisons? Knowing we have an overcrowding crisis. It’s not happened over night, it’s gone on for years😡 joke

@susannareid100 Nothing about the the poor man that @Keir_Starmer has killed

@susannareid100 Why the hell do you think we are in the position we are in? 14 long years of a totally inept, inadequate, self serving Tory Government that's why. Wind your necks in 🙄

@susannareid100 I am a survivor of domestic abuse, and I feel this woman does not understand the issues women face with abusers.

@susannareid100 Keir clearly doesn’t care about white women’s safety.

@susannareid100 The scary part is, this lady is probably not only one going through all of this. The only slight positive is that her ex is not definitely being released but the uncertainty can’t be good. The system is broke and unfortunately I do not see it being fixed under this government .

@susannareid100 Tories have destroyed Prison Services • 18 Prisons closed by Tories • 10,000 Prison Officers axed • Prison Officers attacked up 84% • 15% of Prison Services Privatised • Average Prison Officer salary just £23k • 60% of Prisons overcrowded

@susannareid100 What a brave lady...I can't imagine how scared she must be....what is this government doing?

@susannareid100 Disgusting Government release prisoners early I bet there’s not enough Probation Officers when they are released 🧐

@susannareid100 What's appalling is that she's written to the Home Secretary and other Labour MPs and not received a single reply.

@susannareid100 What about 14 years of lack of investment. I wish Madley would stop not listening to the Minister. I can hear him huffing & puffing. She’s explained the reason - there’s a lack of spaces in prison due to lack of funding for the last 14 years.

@susannareid100 Absolutely shocking and that poor woman and thousands more are not getting any justice! Now have to live their lives being scared! People aren’t going to bother reporting crime because there’s no point any more 😡

@susannareid100 This will not be an isolated case. Terrifying. We now live in a country whose gov prioritises criminals over victims. Wow 😩😩 We’re doomed.

@susannareid100 Good luck with motor mouth. She's just another classic example of a political pygmy member of Starmer's omnishambles cabinet. Out of her depth in a foot spa.

@susannareid100 Justice Secretary should review the cases and always err on the side of caution. This guy should not be allowed out early. Obvious error in the process which needs urgent review and action. 🤷🏻‍♂️
