A run-through of today’s key Times stories: early prisoner releases still rolling out despite PC Harper outrage, probation under chaos, Burnham dodging the 3% defence target, and Kemi’s reshuffle that boots Priti while elevating Tom Tugendhat. Both main parties remain trapped in the same short-term thinking that treats real growth policy as too toxic to touch. Meanwhile the Tories are bringing back Remainers who have defended the ECHR, directly undercutting Kemi’s own promise that every new MP must oppose it. Neither side seems to grasp why Reform continues to surge.
