Starmer’s spokesman has suggested that the PM was not aware of the second migrant accidentally released from prison until the Metropolitan Police released a statement. David Lammy refused to answer the question on mistaken releases five times during PMQs…
Starmer’s spokesman said:
“The Met have released a statement I think in the last few minutes. One mistaken release is one too many.”
Downing Street also refused to say when Lammy was aware of the release, instead pointing to his team for answers. Looks like a disconnect between Lammy and No10 here…
UPDATE: David Lammy says:
“I am absolutely outraged and appalled by the mistaken release of a foreign criminal wanted by the police. The Metropolitan Police is leading an urgent manhunt, and my officials have been working through the night to take him back to prison.”
Suggesting Lammy was aware…
