Investigation launched after terror suspect’s prison escape
The government is embroiled in an argument over prison security after 21-year-former soldier Daniel Abed Khalife escaped from HMP Wandsworth.
According to reports, Khalife went missing at 8am on Wednesday morning dressed in his cook’s prison uniform.
Passengers have been warned to expect delays as security checks have now been ramped up at major transport hubs across the country.
Following the incident Justice Secretary Alex Chalk said in a statement to the House of Commons that several urgent reviews would also take place regarding the categorisation and placement of all HMP Wandsworth prisoners and all those in custody charged with terrorism offences.
Labour has said that the prison escape is part of a much wider problem within government and that grave questions must be asked over what went wrong.
Police have asked members of the public to come forward with any information relating to the whereabouts of Khalife who they believe will attempt to flee the country.

Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled a pledge card with six "first steps" the Labour Party would take if it were to form a government after the next general election. The steps include measures to invest in the NHS, education and policing, to set up a new national energy company and an elite border force, and to promote economic stability. The move, unveiled during a campaign speech in Essex, is reminiscent of Tony Blair’s five pledges ahead of Labour’s landslide victory in 1997, and less favourably of Ed Miliband’s promises carved into stone in 2015.
