Will many of those prisoners released early reoffend?
Yes. Guaranteed.

Would they have reoffended if they’d served their full sentences?
Yes. Guaranteed.

The problem isn’t early release, it is a prison system that fails utterly to rehabilitate people’s lives. #r4today

@zaza_curran Wow - that's incredible. Many congratulations to you all.

[Alison Evans @alisonevans_dev]

Feels like the grown-ups are back in charge. Kudos to @Kier_Starmer_PM for his Cabinet selections. May the force be with you @UKLabour

[Giles Wilkes @Gilesyb]

Astonishing chart from @jburnmurdoch- https://t.co/oY22wcCwIe The UK is brilliant at handling immigration, relatively.

Could be a huge strength in the decades ahead

“With unclear objectives, and the absence of mechanisms to track full costs and identify benefits, there is insufficient evidence to conclude on the value for money of this merger” - pretty much says it all!

[Tamsyn Barton @TBartonUK]

A long awaited and important report from the NAO on the FCDO merger

From giving residents a blank sheet to determine council priorities, to making statutory consultation fun, @TestValleyBC is pushing the envelope on community engagement.

Our 🆕 podcast on how – and why – they’re becoming a community-powered council.

This is shocking from @resfoundation's new report - young people's mental health in particular is so poor that it has completely distorted the age-disability gradient you'd expect to see

People in their early 20s are now more likely to be disabled than people in their early 40s

📊 Our latest #UKPoverty report launched this morning.

🔍 14.4 million people were living in poverty in 2021/22 – and our analysis shows that millions of people would need thousands of pounds just to escape poverty.

Drove the A23, M23, M25, A41, M40 in the last couple of days and couldn't believe the amount of rubbish on verges. It’s worse than ever. Almost laughed out loud seeing the sign below as I have never seen a single roadworker clearing up roadside litter, ever!!! @NationalHways

[Clean Up Britain @cleanupbritain]

M40 motorway, Junction 16 filmed from ground level (see our previous tweet) - why won't @NationalHways just do their job, instead of leaving it like this for months and, in some cases, years?

[Alison Evans @alisonevans_dev]

I spoke with @itvmeridian yesterday about how the i360 should never have been funded with public money.

This calamitous decision by @BHGreens & local @Conservatives has left us with a £44million debt & means there is less money for Early Years investment

This is one of the side-effects of austerity economics.

Local authorities withdrawing from core service provision, private equity swooping in & developing huge profit margins

[Kirsty McNeill MP @kirstyjmcneill]

Loads of people are starting shifts, opening night shelters, answering calls on helplines or in danger and far from home helping those caught up in war or disaster. Love and thanks to everyone serving those who are ill, alone, afraid, or mourning tonight.

[Alison Evans @alisonevans_dev]

.this is great @BellaSankey but how do we convert that ‘hub of creative awesomeness’ into an economic dividend for the whole city with backward and forward linkages to educ and employment - inclusive, liveable, sustainable.

[Bella Sankey @BellaSankey]

Our gaming industry in #Brighton & #Hove is booming because we are a hub for creatives from many different disciplines.

[Brighton & Hove City Council @BrightonHoveCC]

The Government has slashed our budget by £120m in a decade, and we're already estimating a £31m gap for next year.

Bella wants residents to know we're 'doing everything we can to make service improvements while balancing the council’s budget'.

Joining @BBCNewsnight tonight on Autumn Budget. My view: British capitalism is not working and will take more than vague focus on growth to fix it. Real question is how to kickstart lagging (public & private) investment toward innovation-led sustainable and inclusive growth.
