If Joe Biden had sent a bunch of masked goons to kidnap and deport persecuted Christians who had fled to America for religious freedom, I'm pretty sure Mike Johnson's head would explode Scanners-style.

Just take a moment to imagine the reaction to Barack Obama pardoning 1,500 black people, involved in a riot, which led to five police officers dying, calling them "heroes" & "hostages".

A damning National Audit Office report says the Conservatives' 2021 prison expansion plan was ‘unrealistic and not prioritised’. 20,000 new places are not expected until 2031 (~5 yrs late). Expansion costs likely to be at least £4.2bn (80%) above estimates buff.ly/4fXDW41
Screenshot from report. "Government’s 2021 commitment to deliver 20,000 new prison places is not expected to be achieved until 2031 – around five years later than planned Current expansion plans are insufficient to meet estimated future demand, with a projected shortage of 12,400 places by end of 2027 Expansion costs are expected to be at least £4.2bn (80%) above original estimates in 2021 The prison capacity crisis is the result of previous governments’ failure to ensure that the number of prison places was aligned with criminal justice policies such as sentencing and police numbers. Coupled with delays in the current expansion plans, this has led to a reactive and expensive approach that will not meet future demand or deliver value for money in the long-term The independent public spending watchdog has found, as of September 2024, HM Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) has so far created a third (6,518) of the 20,000 additional places it committed to deliver by mid-2020s
