2. This story is about the Tories and their legacy of an overcrowded, underfunded prison system. That’s the fucking story.

   Fuck the scumbags at the telegraph.

3. Jembly Corbuns himself released him!!!1!

4. Dear Telegraph 😆 😂 have some standards please because 😆 😂 sounds like when tories where in power no prisoners where released and absolutely no recidivism happened. I have to say I’m far frome voting Labour but there are still some standards of journalism that we should uphold.

5. Lmao Torygraph

6. I didn’t know political parties got to decide when people were released from prison. I thought we’d have judges or parole boards or something.

7. I’m starting to wonder if a lot of labour aren’t actually part of the party but got in to make labour look horrendous and destroy any

8. Released personally and on the orders of Keir Starmer himself, apparently. Maybe. That fits with the Torygraph narrative. No mention of why prisons so overcrowded in first place 🤣
   If they gave everyone life sentences, regardless of crime however minor, no-one would ever kill anyone, unless inside prison ofc.

9. Blaming Labour for this tragedy feels like wilful amnesia. The justice system operates independently and it was a legally appointed board, not a politician, who reviewed Matthews’ case. Let’s not forget the prison overcrowding crisis didn’t spring up overnight. Years of underfunding, privatisation and short-term fixes under the Tories left our jails bursting at the seams. Now we’re outraged at the consequences? It’s like setting fire to your house and then shouting at the new tenant for the smoke. Of course, the system failed Lewis Bell, but pinning it all on a new government trying to manage a mess they didn’t create is just political point-scoring. We need real reform, not scapegoats.

10. Labour bum boys on this page 🙃

11. >released early by Labour

    And which party was it that oversaw 14 years of underinvestment in the prison system that resulted in such a drastic measure being unfortunately necessary?

    Absolutely disgraceful headline, and The Telegraph no longer has a right to consider itself a high-brow newspaper.

13. “Due to tory incompetence that we championed and cheer led every step of the way” – The Telegraph.

14. Well we need to make room for the people who the goverment have decided are saying things they are not allowed to.
