Boris Johnson: Usman Khan prison release 'repulsive'published at 10:01 Greenwich Mean Time 1 December 2019
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's interview with the BBC's Andrew Marr has now begun.
Mr Johnson says it is "ridiculous and repulsive" that someone as "dangerous" as London Bridge attacker Usman Khan was released from prison after "only serving eight years".
He tells Andrew Marr this why a Conservative government would change the law.
He says: "We are going to bring in tougher sentences for serious sexual and violent offenders...we are going to take action."
He blames the previous Labour government for the "automatic early release scheme" under which Khan was freed - but is being challenged on his assertions.
