No, look, I think this is a problem that's largely of David Lammy and this Labour government's creation
0:06
There's always been prisoners who've been accidentally released. I don't defend that for one minute's disgrace that anyone is released accidentally from our prison
0:14
I mean, that's a ludicrous euphemism, isn't it? These people should never be let out onto the streets
0:20
However, the numbers have skyrocketed under Labour. They rose by 130% in the first year of this Labour government
0:28
and the numbers that David Lammy told us today suggest it's still very high by historic standards
0:34
Why is that? Well, the former chief inspector of prison said that when Labour created the early release scheme
0:40
in the first weeks after they came to power, it was basically botched
0:44
It was disastrously executed. And it meant that prisoners were being let out willy-nilly without the prison service really understanding what was going on
0:51
because it was all way too complicated. As a result of that, the public are in danger
0:56
This is actually very serious We laugh about David Lammy and his incompetence but it very serious because dangerous people out on our streets And the whole criminal justice system is being made to look like a total joke at the moment Well on that note I mean obviously it is a very very serious thing
1:09
We have had a serious discussion about it, but there was another call for you to apologise from some courts this week
1:15
because there was a little clip that was put out, wasn't there? I think we might be able to play this
1:19
Because you've been playing this clip. I have been playing this clip, actually, but yes, there you go. Would you like to apologise for putting an AI clip of David Lammy out there on your social media
1:36
Well, look, Patrick, I do want to apologise, actually. I want to apologise to clowns everywhere in the country for comparing them to David Lammy
1:44
I didn't actually create this. Some other inventive person created this AI picture of David Lammy dressed as a clown
1:52
But his behaviour, I think, warrants it. He's behaved absolutely appallingly. he's one of the most incompetent ministers in a government with a lot of incompetent ministers
2:01
And so you've got to be able to have a bit of a sense of humour now and again
