Mr Ahmed was released from HMP Leeds on Thursday after serving just 14 years of his 22-year sentence for the crime of 30 child rape offences.

Shabir Ahmed, 73, was convicted of 30 child rapes and jailed in 2012 to serve concurrent sentences of 19 and 22 years.

If you want to understand why the mainstream parties struggle to gain support, and why Reform is leading the polls, one name will suffice: Shabir Ahmed.
