SDS40, the early release scheme to which they are referring, explicitly excludes anyone in prison for sex offences, serious violent crimes, or domestic abuse from being released early. 56 crimes in total explicitly excluded But facts don't matter to the terminally stupid and the wilfully misleading

Another day, another Cissy SpaceX tweet sharing harmful misinformation from right-wing grifters. It continues to surprise us why family-friendly advertisers have abandoned this place. 🤷‍♂️ No, sex offenders are not being released early to make room in prison for people who made mean tweets.

Good luck to modernisation-minded MPs wishing to reform the House of Commons with Sir Christopher "up skirting" Chope on the committee who will presumably shout "object" to every proposal. bsky.app/profile/dani...

Three days in #Tory approach to regulations: Monday, Cleverly: one regulation in, two regulations out (like we did in the early 2010s) Wednesday, Grenfell fire findings: Eric Pickles work in the 2010s ignored fire safety regulations

Tory Leadership Contender James Cleverly Wants "One In, Two Out" Regulation Policy James Cleverly made a speech to officially launch his campaign (Alamy) Conservative leadership hopeful James Cleverly has announced a policy of introducing a "one in, two out" approach to regulations as a way of helping businesses grow. Cleverly, who was education secretary, foreign secretary, and home secretary when the Tories were in power, said that he would like to see policies to reduce the regulatory burden on businesses go much further. “We used to have a one-in, one-out rule for regulation,” he said, describing a previous policy of the coalition government in the early 2010s, where if government introduced a new regulation with a cost to business for complying, departments would have to remove or modify existing regulations to make savings for business to counteract their spending. https://www.politicshome.com/news/article/tory-leadership-contender-james-cleverly-wants-one-in-two-out-regula
Moore-Bick reserved some of his most damning conclusions for central government. The inquiry found that the government was “well aware” of the risks posed by highly flammable cladding “but failed to act on what it knew”. Eric Pickles, David Cameron’s housing secretary until 2015, had “enthusiastically supported” the prime minister’s drive to slash regulations and it dominated his department’s thinking to the extent that matters affecting fire safety and risk to life “were ignored, delayed or disregarded”, the inquiry concluded. Pickles also failed to act on a coroner’s 2013 recommendation to tighten up fire safety regulations after a cladding fire at Lakanal House, another London council block, killed six people. It was “not treated with any sense of urgency” https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2024/sep/04/grenfell-tower-inquiry-report-published-survivors-victims-government-latest-updates?page=with:block-66d828968f0883a22dc941d7#block-66d828968f0883a22dc941d7
