Andy Burnham has been told to exempt killers, rapists and paedophiles from Labour’s early release scheme as he announces a pause to it.

The call comes just days after it was revealed that PC Harper’s killers could be let out just halfway through their sentence.

Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative Party leader, said that whilst she welcomed the pause, Mr Burnham had “only suspended one part of early release, pending yet another review.”

She added: “Exempt killers, rapists and child abusers from this scheme. Permanently.”
