Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced a review of the early prisoner release scheme after it emerged that two of PC Andrew Harper's killers may be eligible for early release under a new sentencing act taking effect in September. The scheme, described as a necessary evil to free up prison spaces, has been controversial, and the prime minister hinted at a shift in position. Separately, Burnham confirmed the reinstatement of a £2 cap on single bus fares from January 2027, funded by reallocating £454 million from international climate finance loans and £54 million from Department for Energy Security and Net Zero savings. He also clarified that there is no commitment to increase the income tax personal allowance, though it remains under consideration. UK inflation fell to 2.6% in June, driven by lower fuel prices, but is expected to rise again due to recent energy price increases.

BBC research found that half of councils in England encourage pavement parking through marked bays or signs, creating difficulties for wheelchair users and people with limited sight.
