This is an incorrect narrative. Labour achieved around a 30% vote share, they have no popular mandate whatsoever.

So, reports are that one of the people released from prison under Starmers 'clever' idea, raped a woman on the same/next day he was released.

The change to early release was a conservative policy necessitated by years of underinvestment by the conservative government.
There is enough to be critical of about this labour government without blaming them for the stupidity of the previous one as well.

Not 100 percent accurate. The tories were going for 50 percent of sentence completed, Starmer's lot dropped it to 40 percent so they could gaol all those protestors.

Going a bit from memory as was changed repeatedly by the last government but I believe 50% is the standard for early release.
The previous government allowed this to be moved forward by a number of days, exact number increasing as it failed to have sufficient impact.
The labour government has changed to a % threshold.
Either way prision capacity issues and overcrowding sits firmly with the last government.

Not wholly true.
Look at the time line.
These releases were dropped to 40 percent by Labour to make room for the extra inmates created by their fast courts scheme to deal with all the rioters etc.
The tories as inept and useless as they were cannot be blamed for labours failure here.
