Failing Starmer’s Parting ‘Gift’ to Britain: 6,000 Rapists and Killers To Be Released Early From Prison ‘To Fight Overcrowding’

Starmer finishes like he started: freeing dangerous criminals.

Failing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has resigned and is expected to be substituted by far-leftist former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham.

But before he does, he will leave a ‘parting gift’ for the Kingdom: Killers, rapists, and sex offenders among the over 6,000 criminals that will be freed early from prison.

The Telegraph reported

“David Lammy, the Justice Secretary, is to implement legal changes that will see criminals accused of serious offences released early for the first time as part of Government efforts to prevent jails from running out of space.

They include prisoners convicted of manslaughter, rape, GBH and sex offences who will be eligible for release halfway through their sentences rather than serving the current tariff of two-thirds of their sentence.”

A criminal jailed for a total of 15 years for manslaughter or rape will be freed after 7.5 years rather than 10.

“Criminals convicted of burglary, theft, assault and repeated shoplifting will be freed as little as a third of the way through their sentences, rather than the current 40 per cent, provided they have not committed any serious rule breaches.

It is understood that the first 700 offenders will be freed in September, followed by similar numbers for each of the next nine months in a staggered release plan to get the new system up and running.”

GB News reported:

“Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick blamed Sir Keir Starmer for agreeing to the measures, describing it as a ‘gift to hardened criminals.’

[…] ‘Offenders will be able to terrorize communities with impunity. The only people benefiting from this Labour Government are criminals and illegal migrants. Instead of offering huge sentence discounts to killers and rapists, Starmer should free up space in our prisons by deporting the 10,800 foreign offenders clogging up our jails. But he won’t, as he’s wedded to broken human rights laws and previously campaigned to keep foreign criminals in the UK’.”
