Voices: Andy Burnham’s costly prisons blunder has failed PC Andrew Harper’s family

Andy Burnham has faced criticism for a costly prisons blunder that has failed the family of PC Andrew Harper. Editorials suggest the new PM must act swiftly to rectify this mistake, although a rapid U-turn may indicate an administration struggling with policy details. Meanwhile, polls are questioning whether the Government should intervene to block the early release of those convicted of the manslaughter of PC Andrew Harper, who currently remain eligible for such release.
