Cabinet ministers were caught on video joking about prisoner release, leading to an outcry over real cases of criminals being released early – and creating a headache for new Prime Minister Andy Burnham.

UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting and UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood were caught making a joke about the UK Labour government’s early prisoner release scheme.

The new Prime Minister said it was 'unacceptable' for Wes Streeting and Shabana Mahmood to quip about Justice Secretary Alex Norris wanting to 'let them all out'.
