"This is another shambles under Calamity Lammy’s watch...accidental jail releases have more than doubled"

JUSTICE SECRETARY BLASTED OVER FREED INMATES SCANDAL

- 

CALAMITY Lammy is presiding over a clown show.

Under his leadership at the Ministry of Justice it has been one farce after another.

Last week we had the spectacle of an illegal migrant sex offender, Hadush Kebatu, accidentally released from prison and turned away by the authorities five times when he tried to return.

On Monday, a prisoner was accidentally released from jail the very day he was sentenced to 45 months for fraud.

And yesterday it emerged that another migrant here illegally was accidentally released and, unbeknown to the Metropolitan Police, has been on the run for six days. It's a shambles.

The British people are being put at risk because of the sheer incompetence of the government. And the victims of crime are being relentlessly failed.

Instead of answers and actions, we've had evasion and inaction from dangerous criminal is on the loose thanks to Labour. They are turning our country into a laughing stock.”

According to government figures published in July, 262 prisoners were released in error in the year to March 2025 which is a 128% increase on 115 in the previous 12 months.

Kaddour-Cherif arrived on a visitor visa in 2019 and was in the initial stages of being deported. Yet he was logged by the Home Office as an overstayer since 2020.
