Andy Burnham pledges cross party support over prison release scheme CRISIS

Andy Burnham said he wants to work with other parties on the ongoing prisoner release crisis, adding he had "heard the depth of concern felt across the country" about the early release of killers of PC Andrew Harper.

The Prime Minister said: “What I have done since I came into office is push the system every single day to go further.

"I’ve not accepted it’s impossible to do more. I believe there is more that can be done.

"I will talk to the other political parties about it because I believe it’s extremely important to build as much public and political consensus as we can around this difficult crisis within our prisons."
