The one who's married to Dave down the road.
lol, comments like this make me realise why I love this forum.
There is no way that only one person is to blame for this cock up. Yes the minister needs to take responsibility but someone signed the paperwork or authorised a transfer in some way. He would have been collected from his cell, escorted through the prison. Given his personal belongings, signed for them and presumably at each juncture his identity would have been checked. He would have been checked again before the gate was opened or the bus allowed to leave. This would not have been a single individual from cell to gate.
Due to the number of similar occasions this has happened it seems obvious to me that the process is not fit for purpose. Labour have been in charge for 18 months now and are still blaming the Tories. Why were they not making plans to sort out the shambles that the Tories have left during the last 14 years?

Not sure why Lammy or any other govermant minister is getting blamed for this tbh ??
It’s the prison officers administrators courts fault ????
S*** happens ( mistakes)
Don’t see how it can be the last governments fault either ??

What's the betting on the form having something like "discharge" (to freedom) and "discharge to detention"(still in custody) tick boxes being next to each other, or something like that?
The actual figures for the last year are 262 wrongly released earlyView attachment 396892

So there's nothing special about this case - 308 over 5 years is more than 1 per week.
You can't keep cutting spending year after year after year and not expect things to go wrong.

If you want services to work properly you have to fund them properly.
The government makes the rules, is in charge of the prisons - the buck stops with them...
The BBC suggested earlier, that he would seem to have funds, and that the prison staff were very helpful in directing him on his way, to the station, to catch the train towards London.

It does. They are the official can-carriers.
But unless it can be shown that during their time "in charge" they, by acts of commission or omission, caused things to go wrong, it's not their fault.
When a new Minister takes over, the staff don't start behaving differently, they carry on doing what they've always done.
Why wouldn't they? They thought he was being properly released.
When someone is properly released, having paid their debt to society, how do you think the prison staff should treat them?

OMG Really?Apparently he hung around the prison for about an hour totally confused
He went back into the prison reception a couple of times
In the end they directed him to the train station as he would not clear off
