Get a grip!': Lammy lashes out at jail blunder questions during lively PMQs
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Asked five times during Prime Minister's Questions whether any foreign national offenders had been accidentally released from prison in the last three weeks, the rattled deputy prime minister - standing in for Sir Keir Starmer - repeatedly dodged the question. Shadow defence secretary James Cartlidge, standing in for Kemi Badenoch, asked Mr Lammy to reassure the House that since Kebatu was released that no other asylum seeking offender has been accidentally let out of prison."
"Its a very simple question to answer, Mr Cartlidge added. Justice secretary Mr Lammy responded: After his release I put in place the toughest checks we've ever had in the prison system, it is important that Lynne Owens is able to get to the bottom of her work I suspect there will be more checks and balances that we need to do. Pressing Mr Lammy further"
Coverage spans reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, including investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations are solicited to fund reporters on the ground while keeping reporting and analysis free of paywalls, with the premise that quality journalism should be accessible and funded by those who can afford it. David Lammy was unable to confirm whether other asylum seekers had been accidentally freed since Hadush Kebatu's bungled release and repeatedly dodged the question when pressed five times during Prime Minister's Questions. Lammy said he implemented the toughest checks in the prison system, cited Lynne Owens' investigation, and indicated further checks and balances may be needed.
