Gangster released early by Labour mocks Sir Keir in Christmas song

Not even the Christmas season can keep attention off Labour’s controversial policies for long. The furore around this year’s early prison releases is still haunting Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour lot – and those criminals let out early are doing nothing to reassure the public.

As Steerpike revealed in October, Isaac Donkoh – a gang member and drill music artist also known as Young Dizz – was among those released under Labour’s new prisons policy. Yet despite the scheme being meant to exclude those convicted of serious violence from getting out ahead of time, Donkoh was still released despite the police chief on the case describing Donkoh’s crime – the kidnap and torture of a 16-year-old boy – as ‘extremely violent’. In fact, ‘Young Dizz’ was initially handed a whopping sentence of 12-and-a-half years in jail after pleading guilty to kidnap, conspiracy to falsely imprison, conspiracy to blackmail, grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice.
