Not the private sector letting down the Probation Service and the whole justice system? There is a long chequered history here and perhaps it's time Probation takes over the management of electronic monitoring.

After the riots, Keir Starmer should tell us the truth about our country. This is what he should say, and why he won't say it.

Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).

Lovely doorknock in the sun for @peterkyle with local councillors @cooljool80 and @pauljnann, and @WhitchurchGirl. Posters going up all over Poets Corner.

Probation officers are genuinely worried that they can't keep the public safe because they are having to rush the release of violent offenders.
What is the Tories' plan to support probation?

This is a time-honoured strategy to distract attention from the deeply harmful crimes of the powerful by pretending that poor people are the problem. The state can carry on unchallenged and bully the powerless.
So, @ukhomeoffice will introduce compulsory jail terms for repeat shoplifters, says @thetimes
Many shoplifters steal because they can’t afford to buy. Prison will make their situation worse.
If there is a deterrent, it’s being caught, not the penalty.
Prisons are full.

Of course @MarvinJRees as been shortlisted as World’s Best Mayor - he’s a trailblazer!
Shocking that after winning his second term as the UK’s first directly elected Black Mayor (& first of a major European City) the “progressive”@TheGreenParty campaigned to abolish his role 😱
🌍 Honoured to be among 25 mayors from around the world, including Vitaliy Klitschko (Kyiv), Katrin Stjernfeldt (Malmö), and Quintin Lucas (Kansas City), shortlisted for the 2023 @World_Mayor Prize

Our new report, A thematic review of weekends in prison, has found access to education, employment, exercise or time out of cell are the worst they have ever been, and significantly poorer at weekends.

This statement is hugely important and outlines the case for probation to keep its distinct professional identity and break away from Civil Service control.

It’s happened again. Stuck on an empty plane at Heathrow airport long after everyone else is off - ‘no staff to get my wheelchair off the plane’. I am SO disappointed with @HeathrowAirport as disabled passengers are once again apparently the lowest priority.
