Britain today cracks down hard on dangerous criminals who threaten national security. A new law means tougher jail terms and tighter controls for offenders who jeopardise the country’s safety.

No Early Release Without Parole Board Sign-Off

From now on, spies, saboteurs, and foreign interference offenders won’t get an easy ride. They must pass a strict risk assessment by the Parole Board before even thinking about early release.

These serious criminals are locked up for at least two-thirds of their sentence. And when they do get out, don’t expect freedom. They’ll be electronically tagged and closely monitored until their full sentence ends—plus an extra year of tight supervision.

This tough new stance aims to keep Britain safe from threats lurking both home and abroad.
