Former Tory Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng and Political Editor at PoliticsJOE Ava Santina-Evans debate the government's early prisoner release scheme, as anger grows over the possibility of PC Andrew Harper's killers being freed early. Kwasi Kwarteng says police are "rightly upset", as the Police Federation considers legal action against the government over the scheme. But the former Cabinet minister defended Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch's appointment of ex neo-Nazi activist Joshua Bonehill-Paine as an advisor to the party's culture and integration commission on the radicalisation of young men. Ava Santina-Evans asks "is there no one else?" Badenoch could have appointed to the role, and Kate Garraway says it calls the Tory leader's judgement into question.
