Good Morning Britain host Richard Madeley slammed Labour over their controversial early prison release scheme. During Thursday’s visit (October 24) to the ITV studios, the 68-year-old broadcaster and his co-host Susanna Reid woke up the nation. The dynamic duo discussed some of the biggest stories hitting the headlines which included the upcoming ban for disposable vapes in 2025 and the launch of the Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal.
But one of the most talked about topics on the famous blue sofa which has been dominating headlines is the backlash from Labour’s controversial new prison scheme. On Wednesday (October 23), more than 1,000 convicts were released from jails up and down the country in an attempt to alleviate the overcrowding crisis in the UK. More than 24 hours after the second wave of prisoners were released, the dynamic duo welcomed abuse victim Elizabeth Hudson onto the show.
Martin Underwood was given a sentence of six years after he beat and injured her and held a knife to her face. He also abused several of his former partners before he was put behind bars. Earlier this week, she was told that her abusive ex-husband could be eligble for early release in December as part of the new scheme.
Thankfully, this decision was overruled but warned that he could be released in June. This is a breaking live TV story, the Showbiz Express.co.
