Emotional?Lammy highly emotional and aggressive on his defence of another prison cock up. He’s been on the run for a week since the 29th October , the police were not informed until the 4th of November the delay is ridiculous for the police tracing/finding this man :( still trying to find the detention centre:(
Tory minister opposite him at PMQ James Cartlidge asks him to apologise to family of girl assaulted by the now-deported asylum seeker, Lammy says we said sorry in an earlier debate. Then Cartlidge asks him if he can guarantee no other asylum seekers have been mistakenly released. Lammy ignores that (3 times) but highlights how the prison system has got in this state.
After PMQ, Cartlidge does a point of order to say it's just been revealed that an Algerian national (not necessarily an asylum seeker) was mistakenly released last week and is still at large.
Does anyone doubt that both Lammy and Cartlidge knew before PMQ? And that Cartlidge wasted 3 questions...
