The Daily T

Earlier today, thousands of convicts were released onto the streets before the end of their sentences to help alleviate overcrowding. Camilla Tominey and Gordon Rayner speak to the former prison governor Vanessa Frake-Harris who dealt with Moors murderer Myra Hindley and serial killer Rose West behind bars, and ask how to solve the crisis in our prisons.

Plus, five have become four in the Tory leadership contest as Mel Stride was knocked out of the running in the latest round of voting. Camilla and Gordon react to the news on a busy day of voting in Westminster, with the government’s cut to winter fuel allowance also voted through in parliament despite a threat of rebellion from Labour MPs.
