Robert Jenrick says the justice secretary is "failing to protect the public" with the government's new early release scheme. The shadow justice secretary adds, "she chose to reduce the sentences of criminals who have reoffended or breached their licenses. They're putting the public at risk". Report by Brooksl.

Sir Keir Starmer has defended his comments about an "island of strangers" at PMQs. Plaid Cymru Westminster leader Liz Saville Roberts said the prime minister "once spoke of compassion and dignity for migrants, and for defending free movement" and asked the prime minister, "is there any belief he holds which survives a week in Downing Street?" to which he replied, "Yes, the belief that she talks rubbish".

Nigel Farage says Reform UK "very much enjoyed" Sir Keir Starmer's remarks on immigration and an 'island of migrants', which critics have likened to Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech in 1968. Reform's party leader urges the prime minister to declare the situation in the English Channel as a national security emergency. Starmer replies that the government's borders bill will allow law enforcement to take action "before crimes are committed", adding it is "extraordinary" that Farage "of all people, voted against it".
