Why is a civil servant spinning for Labour like this? nitter.cf/FCDOGovUK/status/21158…

A Chancellor having to give a special interview to walk back what he said in an earlier interview is bad enough. To do it to make clear he has no intention of cutting the welfare bill before the next election is horrific. No wonder he was unable to explain how he'll fund new defence spending yesterday - the very issue he resigned over as Defence Secretary. This says everything about the values of the Labour Party - and the competence of Andy Burnham once he has to deal with substance, not vibes. Labour are putting social security over national security, and party interest over national interest. Budget Day yesterday was a clown show. Today has been even worse. What a shambles. nitter.cf/alexwickham/status/211…
NEW: John Healey tells @krishgm the government will NOT bring the welfare bill down during this Parliament Chancellor says: “it's not correct to say that we're going to bring this welfare bill down in this Parliament” But in the same interview he says the system is “broken”

Angela Rayner is to appoint an “Islamophobia” adviser. They'll enforce her “Islamophobia” definition, which Labour allowed extremists to influence. Ministers claimed the evidence was deleted, but I proved this was a lie. It's still kept secret. Rayner must end the cover up.

Here is why Labour’s definition is so dangerous:

A complete waste of taxpayers’ money: building prisoners their own personal podcast studio, with Labour matching the cash. This money should fight crime, not let prisoners cosplay as Joe Rogan. An insult to victims. Reform must end this ridiculous project now.

Labour plans another £150m for illegal immigrant sites like RAF Barnham in 2027/28. They want to house 1,250 male illegal immigrants here, possibly more, and bus them into quiet towns and villages like Elveden, Brandon, Lakenheath and Mildenhall. Let me be clear: these people shouldn’t be in the country at all, let alone in Suffolk.

This young criminal stabbed a girl 10 times after she rejected him. The judge called him a “bright lad” and said custody was “the last place” for him. So he received a 12-month referral order. No. This violent thug belongs behind bars.

Labour are taking terrible risks with public safety. The Justice Secretary said he’d bring in the toughest tagging regime in British history ahead of their early release scheme. Fast forward: dangerous prisoners are leaving without tags, some are being handed tents to live in, and the Met is dealing with over 100 tag breaches a day. And twenty-six days into the scheme, the Justice Secretary still cannot say how many criminals have been tagged. He cannot even tell us whether the safeguards he promised are in place. He must answer for Labour’s appalling early release crisis.

This is a cover-up. Labour's Justice Secretary won't say how many of the prisoners he is releasing early have been tagged. He promised they’d all be tagged, now he tells me we won't find out until January. 3,000 prisoners will have been freed by then. Insane.

Watch him fail to answer this basic question here: nitter.cf/NJ_Timothy/status/2106…
Labour are letting dangerous criminals out early. They promised they’d tag the criminals they release. That was a lie. The new Justice Secretary hasn’t a clue what’s going on.

Labour are releasing prisoners early and giving them tents to live in. That makes it almost impossible for them to stick to their licence conditions. Two-thirds of prisoners released homeless reoffend, so the public is at risk. I have written to the Justice Secretary.

In which the Economist agrees they do... ... but criticises me for saying so... .. and says it's "hardly an epidemic." When are liberals going to learn?

Labour said they had no choice but to let thousands of dangerous prisoners out. My questions expose the truth. Many cells are out of use because of vandalism, wasteful projects, and even bedbugs. But some repairs won’t happen until 2031. This is Labour’s prisons crisis.
