Starmer compares PM to 'jumped-up milk monitor'

SIR Keir Starmer has urged Rishi Sunak to stop trying to issue "get out of jail free cards" to criminals, as he compared the Prime Minister to a "jumped-up milk monitor."

The Labour leader used Prime Minister's Questions to press Mr Sunak for assurances that domestic abusers and other serious offenders would not be freed from jail early as part of a Government bid to cut overcrowding. 

Sir Keir said Mr Sunak should focus on the "chaos" facing prisons instead of "colourful lanyards", a nod to suggestions from a minister over a ban on civil servants wearing rainbow lanyards.
