'It's actually Andy Burnham's fifth different position on early release since he became Prime Minister six weeks ago' Shadow Justice Secretary Nick Timothy reacted to Andy Burnham's interview on #BBCBreakfast about changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding, which included revealing that two of PC...

Says a man whose party set up the early release scheme in early 2024 and included manslaughter as an eligible category. Is he saying he would not have made this change?

It’s only a matter of time, not if but when, one of the early release prisoners kills someone & then the government is screwed. Foreign prisoners should be deported back to their country of origin & locked up there, if any country refuses to take them back, stop all visas & aid

when you and Fiona Hill were advising @theresa_may ...how many times did you ask her to stop closing prisons/build new ones @NJ_Timothy ? you and your mate @KemiBadenoch can do all the points scoring crap you want...the @Conservatives record on prisons is shameful...@andyburnham

During the last Tory governments 14 year tenure they closed 23 prisons replacing them with nothing

So? Why do politicians always think changing paths is a bad thing? Rather a course correction than going headlong in the wrong direction regardless of new information.

You NEVER find a solution or "change your position" when you cant be arsed to do the job. Lazy Tory gits should know that! That's why we're in this mess.

Doing an interview with Timothy will spoil the Bank Holiday.

@alexburghart

bl00dy cheek you have @NJ_Timothy ...Based on the official Ministry of Justice data, 22 of the 23 prisons permanently closed since 2010 fell within @theresa_may tenure ...that was your boss matey...ignore him @andyburnham ...more @Conservatives @KemiBadenoch points scoring crap.

Nick Timothy who fucked up Mays election and then got himself a safe seat
