Prime Minister Andy Burnham has stated that he has reached the limits of what can be done regarding the early release of prisoners, warning that further exemptions could lead to a collapse of the prison system. While some offenders, including rapists, will not be released early, domestic abusers and killers are still set to be freed, raising concerns about the safety of women and girls, according to watchdogs.

The party's proposals have been criticized by experts, further complicating its political standing as it approaches the next general election.
